I had to inspect the photo closely, see that it's really Angela Merkel in there, spot the bottle of Fanta on the floor, to believe it's really a photo from the 1990's and not the 1860's!! What a great dramatic shot!

tl;dr: The fishermen look depressed because their market collapsed after the reunification, forcing them into unemployment and isolating them.
