The invention of a blue, diamond -shaped tablet
Prof. Dr. Axel Merseburger (UKSH), as director of the Clinic for Urology at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Lübeck, connects the 90s with important medical innovations: in 1998 a blue, diamond-shaped tablet called “Viagra” was launched. Erectile dysfunction is still a major problem for many men and an important aspect of urological health.

The dependence on record companies
As a bassist, Susanne Vogel (MHL) went on tour with many German artists in the 1990s, including Pe Werner and Ina Deter. She still remembers how much the technical innovations in the 90s brought for her and many other musicians: With a PC and corresponding software, music could be recorded with simple means, booking an expensive recording studio was no longer absolutely necessary. Nevertheless, record companies were much more important than today to have a chance to get into the charts-self-publishing platforms such as Spotify, YouTube and Soundcloud only revolutionized the market in the 2000s.
