Tough but fair: WDR provides Plasberg talk back into the grid – SPIEGEL ONLINE

After heavy criticism of the transmitters presented now the show “Down with the Ampelmännchen” dated March 2, back to the library.

Previously, the WDR had the mission after protests from women’s organizations in late August remote – almost half a year after the first broadcast. “The violent reactions show in retrospect, that the decision was not right”, WDR television director Jörg Schönborn said, according to a release of transmitter. Even the television editor in chief Sonia Mikich called the deletion of the 75-minute contribution therefore a mistake.

WDR has censorship accusations

The accusation of censorship or self-censorship was however “completely inappropriate”, Schönborn said. But even if the appearance arises, the independence of the WDR was impaired, “charged that our work”. Therefore, he decided to put the mission back in the library and on the website of the program

Under the title. “Down with the Ampelmännchen – Germany in equality delusion” had discussed in the show from March 2, 2015, inter alia, actress Sophia Thomalla and FDP politician Wolfgang Kubicki about equality. Not always it was about to factual. So said FDP Vice Kubicki example to Green Party leader Anton Hofreiter: “You see already gender moderately from.”

At the WDR Broadcasting Council were received program complaints of several women’s associations who complained about the broadcast. Among other Plasberg was accused in having made gender studies and gender equality policies ridiculous. He is said to have mocked among others the fact that there are 190 professors for Gender Studies in Germany, of which 180 are female. The program complaint was rejected by the WDR Broadcasting Council, however, because the mission had violated no law.

Do you like scary movies? If so, you certainly are at least one film by Wes Craven on their favorites list at the forefront. The American director and screenwriter has peopled with his eyes in the depths of the soul, the same nightmares several generations. Now he has died with 76 years a brain tumor.

A first major success landed Wes Craven with his first own film, “The Last House on the Left”. Vaguely inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s “The Virgin Spring”, in a couple takes revenge on three young men for the violent murder of their daughter. Craven blew so once the limits of the horror genre. He renounced fantastic monsters and dergleich more and sat on nothing more than the pure violence. It shocked alone the assertion at the beginning of the film, this is based on a true story.

1984 was Craven in “Nightmare on Elm Street “the child murderer Freddy Krueger drive to mischief in which this creeps into dreams and takes revenge on innocent people here for combustion when alive. Accompanied by the slogan of his loan, “Whatever you do, do not fall asleep,” Craven blurred by camera movement confusing the boundaries between fantasy and reality, between dreams and nightmares. A whole generation should then lie awake in bed at night and pray that the Sandman does not turn out to be the man with the claws. With the Krueger character and her red-green-striped sweater Craven personalized one of the oldest fears – the fear that the death in a dream is a real death. Freddy Krueger still became a cult figure; “Nightmare on Elm Street” is a prime example of an intelligent, deeply psychologically acting horror film. However, the sequels were always satirical, there are now no fewer than eight of them writes !, and also the effects look a bit silly and dowdy in times of 3D. More serious is that even puts the original with modern viewing full of clichés. Hollywood horror genre is permeated by a highly conservative sexual morality. Especially female figures who have extramarital sex are punishable by death.

Blood! It’s always blood!

Wes Craven criticized this bigotry in 1996 highest self. In “Scream” written by Kevin Williamson, he worked all sorts of horror stereotypes with one, even those of which he himself had made use, made fun of it and tried to do so – of course without success. Finally, is also “Scream” a horror movie, and the villain must never really die in it. Moreover, Craven knew only too well, as he once confessed in an interview: “It’s always blood blood Because the people shouting That has not changed in recent decades!…” Hard to imagine how the modern horror film would look like it had not given Wes Craven. One thing is clear – the genre would have been much more boring.

Obituary: adventurers and explorers Oliver Sacks dies of cancer – Tagesspiegel

Oliver Sacks has described like no other how fragile is our perception of reality. Well, he died 82 years old in New York.

There’s probably nothing what would not have challenged the curiosity of this man. Even his own illness, his death, he observed a manner that is given to few people. As Oliver Sacks found out in January that his cancer had metastasized in the liver and those cancer cells love the liver, flashed through his head: “I also,” He went to a restaurant and ordered liver. When it was served, he commented: “It looks probably better than mine.” All he told the journalists of “Radiolab” a few months ago with a laugh in his voice. So when he amused himself – despite all the sadness – about yourself

Then he showed them a notebook.. Doctors had injected in spring countless beads in his right hepatic artery in order to starve the metastases, a grueling treatment that later gave him a respite. However, the dying cancer cells gave off chemicals that nebulized his brain for a short time. When the neurologist saw the effect, he began to write. The first page looked quite normal. On the second, the letters were shaky on the third he ran through a lot. Then the contents were confused, finally went over the words in scribbles. “Since I was delirious,” he said dryly. “Crazy, within ten minutes. If these pages are not a wonderful illustration on the subject? “For Oliver Sacks was all science, all loving observation of human existence. The essays, which he in the “New York Times” published in recent months, and his autobiography, he said his work one last case history added: their own. She is now at an end. Oliver Sacks died on Sunday in New York. He was 82 years old

The neurologist and writer led a life full of contrasts. Lonely and sociable, taught and form-fitting, analytic and poetic, restrained and exuberant. While nothing human was alien to him otherwise, he spoke only in his autobiography “On the Move” about his homosexuality. Too deep was probably the injury that his Orthodox Jewish parents he inflicted when he told them that he would prefer boys. “You’re an abomination”, he threw his mother on the head. The set went with him long. He fell only four times, and always with a sense of shame.

Every night he exchanged his white coat against a motorcycle divide a

Oliver Sacks was on July 9, 1933, London born as the youngest son of two doctors. The scientific embossed family encouraged his curiosity, the parents patiently answered one thousand and one question. All the abandoned, the brothers felt when they were evacuated during the Second World War to protect them in a rural boarding school. The early separation was terrible, Sacks wrote. Presumably he had therefore problems with the three Bs: bonding, (build relationships, a sense of belonging and trust it) belonging and believing

Sacks became a doctor, his path was mapped out.. He studied at Oxford University Medicine, worked in hospitals in Middlesex and Birmingham. At 27, he broke out, traveled through America and found a job as a research assistant in San Francisco. Every night he exchanged his white coat against a motorbike gear, racing with his bike along the coast and joined by chance friendship with the Hell’s Angels. When he moved to Los Angeles, he was in turn to two very different groups: the neurologist at the University of California and the weightlifters from Muscle Beach. At the same time crept Sacks feel to afford anything significant. “The longing for meaning drove me in an almost suicidal addiction to amphetamines,” he wrote in the “New York Times”. He put the drugs until after he had one morning passionately debated with two friends at breakfast -. And then noticed that she did not exist

His career as a researcher failed initially, when he in 1965 to the Albert Einstein joined College of Medicine in New York. “Go! Go and take care of patients, because you can cause less “exclaimed his enervated superiors. Fortunately, followed sack the Council. Because as a neurologist at Beth Abraham Hospital in the Bronx, he met, among others on 80 victims of encephalitis lethargica, a sleeping sickness. “I was fascinated by my patient, she liked very much and felt something like a mission, to tell their stories. Stories of situations that no one knew and no one could imagine. .

smallest disturbances in the brain to show how fragile our perception of reality is

The book made Oliver Sacks not only world famous, he had his calling found. While the medicine was always impersonal, the neurologist was the narrator and snatched an art from the 19th century of oblivion: the case history. Sacks describes not only the signs of disease, but the people with his suffering. And the brain show as an institution, in the smallest faults, how fragile is our perception of reality. “I see myself as a naturalist and explorer,” he wrote about his work.

He made the fates of his patients to short stories and wore “the clinical reality in all its diversity” in dozens of books together: “The man who his wife with a hat mistook”, “An Anthropologist on Mars “and” The one-armed pianist “are just some examples.

The stuff he never went out, year after year reached him tens of thousands of letters from patients and their relatives who sought his advice. Some of them he learned actually know some of what he told us, without pathos and yet touching. He was really none of his protagonists of ridicule, their dignity was him a valuable asset. Some of their peculiarities he observed also for yourself: For example, there were hallucinations, which can “see” his blinded eye bizarre things were and a faces-blindness, which made it difficult for him to associate a person’s name or recognize them

“I’d like to see the sky, when I die”

The last case history was now his own. Earlier this year, he swam every day a mile he could at least displace for a short time, how close was his dying. Last death not an abstract concept more, but was constantly present. His muscles dwindled, constantly overwhelmed him a great weariness. Faced with this threat, he found solace in the chemistry and physics, saw in rocks small emblems of eternity, in the starry sky, a reminder of their own transience. “I’d like to see the sky, when I die,” he had said two longtime friends. “We push you out,” she assured him. One wishes him from the heart, that was true

And a pioneer

Craven was not just in horror specialist at home: He directed the drama “Music of the Heart”, the Meryl Streep earned an Academy Award nomination

The first major film in 1972

Born was Wesley Earl “Wes” Craven on. 2 August 1939 in Cleveland in the US state of Ohio.

Obituary Oliver Sack – New Yorker writer and neurologist died – Frankfurter Rundschau

August 30, 2015

The New York neurologist and bestselling author Oliver Sacks, launched in October 1989. Photo: AP

To the death of the great author and neuroscientist Oliver Sacks , He wanted to travel, write yet, friendships deepen, do stupid things. He was ill with cancer and had given in February in a contact item for the “New York Times” a few more months to live.

On Sunday, the writer and neurologist Oliver Sacks died in New York. He was ill with cancer and had given in February in an article touching on the “New York Times” a few more months to live. Downright professional fatalism, but also courage and love of life spoke his words. He wanted to travel, write yet, friendships deepen, do stupid things. His 82nd birthday on July 9 he was still “in style” celebrations, he later wrote.
fear of dying, he had, of course, but with no other certainty is about greater that did not leave his spirit of research and his joy in the so sensible as rich natural puzzles to last him his curiosity. Perhaps the strongest texts in his extensive work, the autobiographical, where they can not be separated from his scientific work.

In “Uncle Tungsten” he told just only one level of his eventful life, from his Orthodox Jewish ancestors from Russia, of his war childhood in an English boarding school, from his life threatening experiments with the chemistry set. As the same time he sings an ode to the Periodic Table of Elements – so devotedly, that even though you never had with chemistry care much, once even want to discover any element and can see no light bulb without using heat to Sacks’ ancestors – large lamp inventor – to think.

But then it drove him rather on the other side of his large family, and he was, like his father and his mother a doctor. He studied medicine at Oxford and tried out as a researcher, which he proved too scatterbrained; He also developed sympathies with the chickens and other animals. In 1960, with twenty years, he went to the US, continued his academic and clinical career and experienced with his popular science patient stories his breakthrough as a writer. In addition, he wrote in his second autobiography, which was published this year: “On the Move” (see FR, 22. 8.).

ignorance did not slow him

concerns or envious rivals could not stop him. He apparently had such irrepressible life force that he preferred a room temperature of 14 degrees Celsius. He jetted with his motorcycles across the prairie, swam for hours, trained in weightlifting, and he spent many a weekend bike rides, during which he slowly emptied two hung on the handlebars two-liter jugs of cider and slightly tipsy drove through the summer.

He caught fire while reading poems and at the meeting with poets, suffered intense, but never very tough love stories used sprawling correspondences and was of course at all times for his patients there. For dinner he never took more time than to open a fish box or a cereal box is necessary. Sacks stormed with cheerful exuberance and more generous insatiability through life, paid for a drug and soul crisis the price of the hustle and Danebensein. He was only in later years the quieter happiness of pause: He was 77 when he met his man for life, the writer Billy Hayes: “It was a new experience for me, to lie quietly in the arms of others, to talk, listen to music or to be silent together. We learned to cook proper meals and to eat -. A great and unexpected gift in my advanced age, after I had my whole life maintained distance “

Refugees killed in shootout with traffickers in the Aegean – tagesschau.de

In a shootout between an EU patrol boat and tugs in the Aegean Sea, a 17-year-old refugee was killed. The armed traffickers had rammed the boat of border guards and apparently opened fire.

From Thomas Bormann, ARD Radio Studio Istanbul

The 17-year-old refugee had chosen a supposed safe flight over the Aegean Sea: Not in a boat could capsize that, but in an ocean-going yacht. Tug demand for significantly more money, up to 2,000 euros per person. But the yacht with the young man and 70 other refugees on board fell yesterday to the attention of European border guards.

tractor ramming EU-boat

A Patrouillienboot the EU border mission Frontex stopped the yacht, but the smugglers tried to escape. Multiple they rammed the boat of border guards. One of the smugglers have even tried a border guards to snatch the service weapon, reports the Greek coast guard. After not yet officially confirmed information from circles of the Coast Guard, the smugglers have opened fire against the patrol boat. Its crew returned the shots. This apparently was the shot, by which the 17-year-old refugee was killed.

The migrants boat could then be stopped. Three traffickers were arrested. Below deck the dead young man was discovered with a gunshot wound

4000 new refugees -. Per day

Because of the calm weather make currently very many refugees on the way to the Greek islands. Journalists report, solely on the island of Lesbos had on Saturday about 4,000 refugees arrived in 100 boats. Kate O’Sullivan of the aid organization “Save the Children” therefore calls on the EU to urgently send more aid to the Greek islands. “Here many children and families who stay in parks or sleeping on the roadside also in the refugee camps are have they often lack access to drinking water or food. Medical care is woefully inadequate. “

The refugees are placed on the Greek Islands on itself, so also the student Samu from the Syrian capital Damascus. He even had some money with me, wanted a hotel pay, but: “We have no hotel found – all fully occupied, we had no place to sleep, nothing But fortunately there are many good people who help us..” says the young man from Damascus. Even if the states on the Greek Islands for refugees are inhumane – here he feels safe. He is happy to have escaped the war in his native

Motörhead new album Bad Magic: Review holiday cover – THE WORLD

Motörhead frontman Lemmy is a legend. I’ve heard a hundred times his name and forget him ninety-nine times. For umlauts, however, I am interested. I know none of the hitherto 21 Motörhead albums, but I have read all nine volumes of “Greg’s Diary” and annoyed me nine times about the fact that the heavy metal band of Greg’s big brother Roderick in the German translation “Folle Vindel” means and not as in the original “Löded Diper”.

the loss of the heavy metal umlaut I find the worse as you continue to Roderick smaller orthographic uncertainty ( has passed “Vindel” instead of “diaper”, “Diper” instead of “Diaper”). Behind this misspelling namely hides, as I believe in my Motörhead experience, the fatal arrogance of non-Metallers. Roderick is a wild, but good boy. Greg, however, is an uptight nerd. Instead ass off, he plays incessantly computer, and at the very worst is yet a gunman from him.

That someone, of the 22 Motörhead- album “Bad Magic” has heard afterwards has the power to a killing spree, I can not believe. Who often enough “Choking on Your Screams” has mitgeschrien (the eleventh after ten exhausting songs), is indeed afterwards exactly immune from: At his screams he will not suffocate. “Out on the stage ‘out of a cage,” I have taken from the matte black booklet in which poetologically important lines unfortunately are difficult to emphasize with the highlighter, and afterwards asked me if it’s not just metal umlaut, but also Metal -Apostrophe are. “R’ck d’ts” instead of “Roeck Doets” so to speak, but “‘N Sync” speaks against it. In addition, apostrophes are an Anglo-thing, they lack the “Germanic hardness”.

Such rather basic considerations defiance: The Music even then it was a shock. I have the promo CD (right?) Nothing suspecting pushed into the CD slot in the car. The boy (in the back) the window has hochgekurbelt because I was embarrassed; the girl (in the back) has hardly complained audibly while the dog (even in the back seat, he does not remain in the trunk) already Lemmy Kilmisters first remarks (“Victory or Die”) can not tolerate and frantically against the driving guitars (correctly ?) has angejault.

Song number two (“Thunder & amp; Lightning”) aggravated the crisis even more: “Life on the road is not easy,” roared Lemmy. After song number three finally (“Firestorm Hotel”) we started in spite of all good intentions temporarily from: “I want to understand it / I want to believe.” (Motörhead lyrics seem to fit anything and everything; at least they have so common with ordinary pop lyrics.)

Better, I’ll basically again: The Haus der Kunst (home of Neo-Geo, the metafiction and the True Metal) is now indeed a building niches, all without hallways or foyers. The grand staircases to the enjoyment of art are gone, wing doors that open onto sublime halls, there is as little as these halls themselves, instead you stumble always the same over the next few poorly lit angle, perhaps the sudden interest “of well-known media” (dpa) declared on interviews with Lemmy (“I’d like to know myself”).

Maybe one must just long enough are in the same area, so that people will find the way to a. Lemmy any case must be some sort schwermetallischer Konrad Adenauer be (“No experiments”).

An unfortunately not representative survey in my acquaintance has indeed shown that even former Headbanger only one Motörhead song reliably detect (“Ace of Spades” is his name), but on the other hand are quite capable of identifying the Motörhead sound itself – a phenomenon that “Black Magic” basically confirmed.

Ultimately, namely it makes so much sense, between “Shoot Out All of Your Lights” (song no. 4), “The Devil” (5) , “Electricity” (6) or “Evil Eye” (7) to distinguish, they must be subdivided into a tirade of Thomas Bernhard in paragraphs. At best, individual songs distinguished by their position on the Kick-Ass-scale, where “Black Magic” apparently climbs quite high here. Motörhead playing for forty years.

It may owe the acoustic vibration in itself, but after twelve new songs (and a stupid Rolling Stones Cover) point I myself suddenly three elderly men in a pew in front, with smelling colognes hymnals. Eyes fixed on the altar, they sing hymns about death and the devil, the evil eye and black magic. It does not sound like that because it’s the metalheads embarrassing, but at the end is “Bad Magic” devotion and heilö world.

“The holiday replacement “is the summer series of” world “-Feuilletons. Colleagues disappear into the holiday, the rows in the newsroom are thinning. So we have to improvise the roster – and leave once a week colleagues report on a subject in which he was not actually in the fabric. Who knows what it’s good.

Federal Vision Song Contest: Mark Forster wins against protest and consensus-Pop – THE WORLD

To see like you know, when it has made in Stefan Raab’s head “click”. In what moment he was probably in front of the camera and made the decision to say goodbye the end of 2015 from the television? When he probably realizes that he simply can not be bothered more has

A guess: It was in September 2014. Raab just stood at the end of a terribly boring Bundesvison Song Contest on the stage of Lokhalle and announced the winner. Gunslinger. One of the worst German bands, the audience – whatever – with the Song blueprint “Let’s go” and convinced the contest in 2015 brought to Bremen. With record score even.

Raab, who has enough idea about music to know that just almost Mist was voted the best song, probably in this moment have recognized that this also invented by him Format has lost much of its Drive. But perhaps the title of the song has fired at him. “Let’s go” – so, why not just leave

bow to Raab’s musical vein

And? so we are experiencing the great Stefan Raab farewell tour. Total TV has started in the last season, the last “Schlag den Raab” editions coming soon. Formats that have no future without the one-man army. At the Federal Song Contest that looks different. The music contest in which each state sends an Act on the grid is not necessarily associated with the presence Raab. In theory.

In practice, the format has been but recently changed its concept to bow to Raab’s musical vein. The 16 participating acts were on Saturday night – presented in Einspielern, was where music together with Raab in a small studio in Cologne – as in the previous year. Short chat about the state, then asks Raab after idols, then he gets going and makes the real stars of the contest to marginal figures. By unwrapping gifts, rumspringt or the artists and their idols in person covert.

And what he can not do everything. All sorts of instruments: mini-piano, guitar, drums, drum on Vespa helmet. All sorts of vocal registers and of course songs of every kind: from “What a Wonderful World” about “Smells Like Teen Spirit” to “Surfin ‘Bird”. Thanks, but we also knew beforehand

Ferris MC is a Monster Truck -. And overruns even Jesus

In Bremen, on the send rotary stage to Raab held back pleasant. That was good because the number of participants in contrast to last year was attractive enough. The bands and solo artists knew even without the patron of good to talk.

Ferris MC, Brachial rapper from Hamburg, made the beginning. From a “Monster Truck” he rapped. One who rolls away just about anything. Even on the FDP, the German Democratic Republic and Jesus. The monster truck is in reality himself, he later gave Backstage be open to protocol. . Aha

Ferris indeed had no chances for the title, but became the first person a political character that ran through the entire show below: Ferris and tape wore shirts saying “Refugees Welcome”. For 10 years, there is the Federal Vision Song Contest for the first time the stage was used for such political statements. Sweet Pop and drunken radio hosts per asylum, alternative rock against law.

Wind in full gepinkelten sweatpants

Watchful Germany had to be, because of the “right fuckers out there,” warned Ingo Knollmann of the Donots that competed for North Rhine-Westphalia. Your Song “Then without me” condemned right conformism. The audience rewarded it with the second place. “Not we, you out there have just one statement rausgehauen”, the band announced later on Facebook.

Also gunslinger who were allowed to act as defending champion again, wore “Refugees Welcome” -shirts. For this purpose, let the Berlin radio station points from the capital partially read by a refugee. Klaas Heufer circulation without Joko, but with ex- “Wir sind Helden” -Bandmitglied Mark Tavassol as “Gloria” for Bremen on stage, sat a very special character: The brass band stood in his memory of Harald Ewert with soggy Sport shorts and jersey of the German national team on stage. Ewert became a symbolic figure of the right riots in Rostock-Lichtenhagen in 1992, when he showed the Hitler salute with full gepinkelter sweatpants.

“Gloria” articulated with the sweatpants to perhaps very of the successful pop number from, ended only in ninth place. Also in midfield: Have replaceable pop, but also hurts anyone. From Schleswig Holstein of “Every Day New Year’s Eve” or “eternal” from Brandenburg. “Glass Bead Game” from Baden-Wuerttemberg and “Namika” from Hessen also competed with songs that you quickly forget again.

Naked breasts are not as good as confetti

Last place, Bayern: Rapper Oli Banjo joined with his rock experiment “Wunderkynd” on. Velvet oblique tones and dancers who were dressed only with tape, string and Stormtrooper helmets. Sounds funny, as it was. What to deduct Banjo: He was the only participants, the one saying to Raab’s TV-speedy end not stifled. When he in the Perception MAZ brought Raab a Bavarian whistle, he pushed another “since you now a bit back off going” after.

The winner the Federal Vision Song Contest 2015 is Mark Forster from Rhineland-Palatinate. Thin Pop, sweet smile, by “Au Revoir” already well known from Heavy Rotation of consensus radios. Forster had the last place on the grid, two dozen strings and a wall of fireworks sparks. For this purpose, with “stomach and head” a winner song that actually longer in the head remains above the rest.

Yvonne Strahovski landed for Thuringia in third place. Sensational as it presented itself in its Perception clip as so vacuous that Raab despair began to sing Cologne carnival songs. In the stage performance she seemed to have tears in his eyes. A cry for help? What really makes Yvonne Elliman now?

No statements on the future of the program

The tears they were pushing in any case far forward. The usual dirty tricks of the other Acts fizzled against: luminous outfits, confetti cannons, “Hello Bremen” calls. Buddy Buxbaum from Meck-Pomm started his performance in a caravan, but this was not rewarded by the audience with dots. In “appointment in the park” Buxbaum sings about downtime:

“Did you hands full to do with your schedule string a few, give a damn? , you are more important than your stuff. “

The text is likely to have fallen host Raab. A self-referential joke he made after Buxbaum song anyway. Just as statements about the future of the Federal Vision Song Contest. But if Raab music loves so much, as it was sold on Saturday evening again the spectators, he can the singing contest not really take in the TV-retirement.

Listen to all the songs of the Federal Vision Song Contest 2015:

Neil MacGregor on Goethe: On the Magic Island – Tagesspiegel

Weimar spirit, Berlin Vision: Goethe, Shakespeare and the Way to the Humboldt-Forum. A speech by Neil MacGregor.

Even Angela Merkel was impressed by him. Neil MacGregor is a much honored and very busy man. On October 1, he takes the founding artistic director of the Berlin Humboldt-Forum, by the end of the Born in 1946, Scotsman is currently director of the British Museum in London, in Mumbai it is to build a new Museum of World Cultures with. He has a book about Shakespeare and wrote “A History of the World in 100 objects”. In brief, his new band “Germany appears. Memories of a nation. “. MacGregor was now in Weimar, for the birthday of the poet, with the Goethe Medal of the Goethe Institute awarded, together with the Syrian philosopher Sadiq al Azm, who lives in exile in Berlin, and the theater director Eva Sopher from Porto Alegre. The now 92-year-old fled the mid-thirties from the Nazis to Brazil. Your birth as of Goethe, Frankfurt am Main. We print MacGregors speech Goethe Medal slightly shortened. He wrote and kept them in German.

Thanks to the “Faust” seal, we all know how dangerous it would be to actually say that I now enjoy the highest moment. It would also, and without rudeness, is not it. Because my joy actually mitigated by reduced is yes, that I have to give a speech in German

If German as a foreigner, you learn at the Goethe Institute, for example, then you will very quickly surprised by the richness, the bottomless, unfathomable richness of the German vocabulary, or rather overwhelmed. In the works of Goethe, one learns, are so many words to count as in Shakespeare almost twice. Thanks to such a lush, sprawling encyclopedia, suspects jealous of foreigners have German speakers a more complex, nuanced, ultimately experiencing intense world than others and can enjoy.

An example. If we – in English – want to be happy, then we are simply happy, in the extreme case, very happy. But if I were German and would get good news, then I could not only be happy, but also exult, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice. And because I have studied a little German: When I received the surprising news that it had awarded me the Goethe Medal, so I was not only in English, extremely happy, but could also, as already Germano audiophile exult, rejoice, exult and rejoice.

On August 28, 252 years ago, Goethe received his fourth birthday gift of a life-determining puppet theater. His delight is known about it, but could not have been greater than what I feel today. A few weeks ago I received a questionnaire from the Goethe Institute. It read: Who would you suggest for the Goethe Medal? I answered immediately: Christopher Clark, author of “Sleepwalker”. I have also asked who would Goethe proposed himself for his medal?

First, I had the disconcerting for a British idea of the winners might have been Napoleon. In Erfurt, on 2 October 1808 Goethe would personally can give the self-proclaimed Emperor Medal. Goethe and Napoleon: a sign that even then existed in Europe two Grandes Nations. But without national pride I think I may say that Goethe, the compulsion of all chronological considerations freed, would have chosen without hesitation Shakespeare to his medalists. “The first page, I read you in it,” Goethe wrote in 1771, “made my life time peculiar to him. I jumped into the open air and felt only that I had hands and feet. Nature, Nature, nothing so natural as Shakespeare’s People “And still further:”. Shakespeare, my friend, if you were still with us, I could live nowhere than with you. How gladly would I, the supporting role of Pylades play when you’re Orestes. “

There was something in Shakespeare, Goethe allowed, quite directly perceive his own ideas and ideals. Shakespeare revealed that there is a language that can be expressed with the deep thoughts and feelings Goethe unaffected. When English poet he learned how he could give the Germanness an authentic voice.

And that’s when for me the inspiring Goethe. He knew in all traditions – English, Persian, Greek, Indian – to draw intelligence and wisdom. In his house at Weimar Frauenplan plants and minerals, works of art and plaster casts were collected from all countries. The world under one roof, so that they’ll studied and recorded. And it is precisely this intellectual cosmopolitanism allowed him to be the personification of the highest German spirit. Nothing was alien to him:

Herrlich is the Orient

across the Mediterranean penetrated;

Only those who love Hafiz and knows,

Knows what Calderón sung.

Europe is the self-knowledge come only when the non-European studying and make it his own. For Europe, have become major social risks back into the xenophobia and nationalism, Goethe remains for us all exemplary and necessary.

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre was so named because discover London on that stage all over the world that all mankind should get to know. As Theatrum Mundi it should act, just like Goethe’s house Museum on the Frauenplan, his British Museum

“All the world’s a stage” -. The whole world is a stage. “And all the men and women Merely Players / And you one in his time plays many parts” – “and everyone plays many roles in his life,” it says in Shakespeare. The question is always the same. We want what role, we are in this Theatrum Mundi, playing this puppet theater in the world?

In what Shakespearean role would Klaus-Dieter Lehmann, the president of the Goethe Institute (and before that president of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation ) occur most? One can not doubt nor hesitation. He would Prospero. In “Storm” white Prospero his little island through his magical powers to reshape. Thanks to his magic new visions, new worlds are caused. That Klaus-Dieter Lehmann, done on his island, the Museum Island in Berlin. He has not only the island, but a whole town charms he has there caused a new world that is gradually visible for all of us and the Humboldt Forum’s.

As a Theatrum Mundi, Theater der Welt to the whole of humanity occur there as an actor but also as a poet. It is actually, in the famous words of Prospero’s daughter Miranda to “A Brave New World”. Hopefully we will able to realize this vision spell
