Wannsee - an den Ufern deutscher Geschichte

In the organizer's words:

The legendary lake as a place of German history - of power, freedom and human abysses.

Jochen Arntz and Holger Schmale discuss the fascinating history of Lake Wannsee, which is not only known as a picturesque lake in the south-west of Berlin, but also as a place of profound historical and cultural significance. It stands for both the darkest and the lightest chapters of German history. Whether a place of longing for city-stricken elites, a symbol of the murder of European Jews, the scene of the first exchange of agents during the Cold War or a source of inspiration for numerous artists and writers - hardly any other place has such a rich historical heritage.

Jochen Arntz, born in 1965, is a journalist and worked for the Süddeutsche Zeitung and most recently as editor-in-chief of the Berliner Zeitung. He is now the spokesman for a foundation.

Holger Schmale, born in 1953, is a journalist. He reported for the German Press Agency from Berlin, Bonn and Washington and subsequently headed the national office of the Berliner Zeitung.
