1923 wird zum politischen und ökonomischen Wendejahr für Deutschland: Reparationsforderungen, Hitlerputsch, Hyperinflation. Zwischen schwindelerregenden Brotpreisen, eskapistischen Tanzabenden, der folgenreichen Ruhrbesetzung, steigender Armut und der Einführung der Rentenmark erzählt Jutta Hoffritz von den turbulenten Monaten eines Jahres, das uns, auch hundert Jahre später, erschreckend aktuell vorkommt.Käthe Kollwitz, Anita Berber, Hugo Stinnes und Rudolf Havenstein stehen exemplarisch für die Ereignisse und Strömungen der Zeit: Der Unternehmer Hugo Stinnes verkörpert die sich radikalisierende Rechte. Käthe Kollwitz, die mal für die Sozialdemokraten stimmt, mal für die Kommunisten Plakate malt, steht für die zerstrittene Linke. Anita Berber, skandalträchtige Nackttänzerin, repräsentiert mit ihren Totentänzen den Rausch und Exzess, den Wandel und Untergang.  Rudolf Havenstein, Reichsbankpräsident, vertritt die rasende Geldentwertung und Hyperinflation. Über ein Jahr im Taumel, an dessen Ende die Hyperinflation besiegt, Hitler noch einmal in die Schranken gewiesen und erstmals Charleston getanzt wird. Das Jahr, mit dem die Goldenen Zwanziger begannen.

Im Garten begegnen sie einem täglich, doch die meisten von uns wissen nur sehr wenig über Regenwürmer. Dabei würden wir ohne sie nicht überleben. Unsere Felder und Böden würden unfruchtbar. Durch ihr unermüdliches Wühlen lockern und belüften sie die Erde und helfen dem Regen zu versickern, sie kompostieren Laub und produzieren so den besten Dünger: Wurmhumus. Allein 47 Regenwurmarten gibt es in Deutschland, viele davon sind gefährdet. Zeit, ihnen endlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken: Wie sie leben, lieben und uns nutzen. Kurzweilig und faktenreich bringt uns Sally Coulthard die kleinen Helden unserer Erde näher.
