Flight, Return and Home in Postwar German Newsreel and Film
In the 1950s, before the advent of television, the cinema newsreel was the only medium to convey news through moving images. One important issue for newsreels was the westwards movement of Germans, from former German territories in the East and from East Germany to West Germany. Newsreel accounts of ‘refugees’, ‘resettlers’ and ‘returnees’ were used for political purposes. Thus newsreels made in the Soviet zone of occupation or the German Democra…
Representation of car drivers and driving in the German cinema newsreel (1950–1965)
Before the introduction of television, the newsreel was a powerful medium in the cinema: moving images, accompanied by music, sound and commentary, shaped people’s views on national and international issues. East and West German newsreels reported separately on the economic boom, including the car industry and motor sport. In the 1950s, newsreels focused on small cars, the successful rise of the automotive industry, exports, and safety issues. Th…
Filmgeräusch im Fokus
Die Geschichte der Einbindung von Geräuscheffekten in Filme reicht bis in die frühen 1910er Jahre zurück, als Kinoorgeln stumme Filme mit Klängen und Pfeifen begleiteten.

Dieser Beitrag präsentiert ein didaktisches Konzept für Masterstudierende der Medienwissenschaft, das darauf abzielt, die Ursprünge und Produktionshintergrü…
Musik als Mittel der ›Propaganda‹ in der Filmberichterstattung 1950–1965 (West-Ost)
Although the newsreel was only shown as a part of the interludes in the cinemas and thus represented a marginal part of the cinema evening, the producers and state institutions were convinced of its effect. Under the National Socialists, the newsreel served purely as a propaganda tool and the background music was designed to achieve this effect. But agitation was not the concern of the post-war newsreel – also in consideration of the generation o…
The Suez Crisis of 1956 and 1957 in West German Television News
From the mid-1950s onwards, the number of television viewers in West Germany increased rapidly and television became the “window to the world” for many people. Through audio-visual reporting the people were informed so that they could feel save as they know what had happened in the world, especially in times of the Cold War. The Suez Crisis of 1956/1957 was one of the Cold War conflicts that television was able to report on continuously and thus …
German Newsreels as Agents of History
Before television was established in Germany, cinema newsreels were the only medium that provided audio-visual news. Due to the weekly format, it was impossible to be up-to-date, but reports had to be interesting and attractive. Thus, their aim was partially entertainment. Although exclusive stories and curiosities were important, some aspects were omitted from the screen, including murder, cruelties, major accidents, or diseases. Using specific …
