Theme weekend "Palace without end"
Whereas in the past it was retouched photos that made unpleasant people “disappear”, such as Leon Trotsky, who fell out of favour with Stalin, or Liebknecht on the balcony of the Berlin Palace, today we are downright lied to by fake films, news and images.

Reality is being distorted and narratives are being created along ideological and political lines of conflict. Disinformation campaigns, fake images and invented stories are part of the “modern warfare” of hybrid warfare and political historiography.
The aim is to unsettle societies, destabilise political institutions or individuals and influence their decisions and perceptions of history. In Images that lie – how we are lied to by propaganda, “One Hour of History” discusses a seemingly new phenomenon that is currently being used on a massive scale by Russia and whose roots go far back into the past.
The following experts are invited:
Prof. Dr. Steffen Siegel, Folkwang Universität der Künste Essen
Dr. Benno Nietzel, Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt/Oder
Prof. Dr. Annette Vowinckel, Leibniz-Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung Potsdam
Steffi Orbach will moderate the discussion, Dr Matthias von Hellfeld will co-moderate.

He works as a presenter and editor at ARD and is currently the editor in charge of the magazine “One Hour of History” at Deutschlandfunk Nova. Von Hellfeld has contributed to numerous radio features and TV documentaries. He is also a lecturer at various universities and training academies and the author of more than 25 non-fiction books on European and German history.

After starting out in print journalism, she worked in various positions in radio and television before joining WDR as a trainee. She worked for ZDF’s children’s news programme “logo!” for several years, has been writing and broadcasting news for all WDR channels for more than 20 years and presents the media magazine “Töne, Texte, Bilder” (sounds, texts, images) on WDR 5. She was a presenter on Deutschlandfunk Nova’s daily programme for many years. Today she presents “Deutschland heute” (Germany today) on DLF and has hosted the podcast “Eine Stunde History” (One hour of history) since 2023.
