Permanent Exhibition: Beginning June 1, 2006

Raising public awareness of the historical and cultural value of our audio-visual heritage is one of the missions of the newly created Television Museum which will celebrate its opening on May 31, 2006. The Television Museum is to complete the profile of the Filmhaus at Potsdamer Platz, making it a “house of moving images” unlike any other in Europe.

The idea of the Museum is to establish a living forum for the past and present of German television at the heart of Berlin. Here the public will be able to rediscover great moments of broadcasting history and to trace the divergent developments of the medium in East and West Germany. Topical debates on media policies will also be conducted against the backdrop of broadcasting history.

Previous Special Exhibitions – “Fernsehen macht glücklich” (2002/2003), which explored whether television makes people happy; “Wo Karrieren beginnen” (2003), which focused on the “Das Kleine Fernsehspiel”, a ZDF program that has helped launch the careers of new directors throughout the world over the past forty years; and “Die Kommissarinnen” (2004/2005), which presented female police inspectors from German television series – have strongly confirmed the public’s great interest in topics related to broadcasting history: television now belongs in the museum.

The Television Museum is part of the German Film Archive Foundation (SDK) and is funded by Germany’s Federal Commissioner for Culture and Media. Its construction is being financed by the German Lottery Foundation Berlin and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The Television Museum’s development has also been backed by the Berlin Senate Department of Science, Research and Culture; and its construction, by the Berlin Senate Department of Urban Development. Veolia Water has committed itself to sponsoring the Museum’s program until 2012. Other partners include: the public television networks ARD and ZDF, the Media Institution Berlin-Brandenburg (mabb) and the Directors’ Conference of the German State Regulatory Authorities for Broadcasting (DLM).

www.deutsche-kinemathek.de Geschlossene Gesellschaft Screen shot: Television Museum – Deutsche Kinemathek / DRA Written by: Klaus Poche Directed by: Frank Beyer Starring: Jutta Hoffmann (Ellen), Sigfrit Steiner (Karl), Armin Mueller-Stahl (Robert) Broadcast on: Nov. 29, 1978, DFF/GDR Television

Frank Beyer’s compelling and oppressive film about a couple at the end of its tether is a parable of GDR society in the 1970s. It was broadcast only once, on Nov. 29, 1978, and then shelved for eleven years. It was one of the many films “banished to the basement” for taking a critical look at life in the GDR when the SED (state party of the former GDR) took a harsher line in cultural matters. Writer Klaus Poche and leading man Armin Mueller-Stahl left the GDR shortly afterwards.

Mission and Concept of the Museum

No other medium has influenced our society and our lives as greatly as television. Without a doubt it is an essential component of our culture: a seismograph of how people feel in our age, a medium of information, provocation and diversion. And each generation has its own memorable television experiences. Be it “Bonanza”, or the classic, originally East German, bedtime show for children “Das Sandmännchen”, Samuel Beckett’s “Das letzte Band” (“Krapp's Last Tape”), the fall of the Wall, the, originally West German, entertaining educational kids’ show “Die Sendung mit der Maus”, the popular soap “Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten”, or September 11 – images that are impossible to forget.

Nevertheless, television is a fleeting medium that has long needed a more permanent place than its up-to-the-minute topicality, a place outside its regular position, a place where it can re-encounter its audiences. This is true for both more and less spectacular television events, and especially for the few programs that have survived from its early days when many a gem was quickly erased – either due to a lack of awareness for the significance of the material or simply for economic reasons. In conjunction with its television network partners, the Television Museum hopes to raise public awareness of the historical and cultural value of our audio-visual heritage.

www.deutsche-kinemathek.de Raumpatrouille – Sreen shot: Television Museum – Deutsche Kinemathek / WDR Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion Episode 1: Angriff aus dem All (Attack from Space) Directed by: Michael Braun Starring: Eva Pflug (Tamara Jagellovsk), Dietmar Schönherr (Cliff Allister McLane), Wolfgang Völz (Mario de Monti), Claus Holm, Hans Wengefeld First broadcast: Sept. 17, 1966, WDR/ARD, TV series

“Raumpatrouille” (“Space Patrol”) was the first German science fiction series. Its budget of 3.4 million marks was very large for the times. But so were its audience ratings of up to 80%. Legendary is also the set design for the spaceship’s command post, with electric irons used as part of the control desk and yoghurt cups as ceiling lighting, and spectacular special effect, considering the technical possibilities then. The series was produced at almost exactly the same time as “Star Trek”, yet Captain Kirk and Co. did not find there way to Germany for another 6 years.

The Program Gallery, the Museum’s central installation, will open with a selection of some hundred programs that were broadcast on (East and West) German television over the past 53 years. Visitors can choose their favorites and – if they please– watch them in their entirety. The Program Gallery is linked to a data bank containing background information on each production: the directors, authors, actors and much more. The collection will grow bit by bit as the Museum acquires material for its exhibitions and events. Hence, in the future, the Museum’s profile will not only be defined by its events and exhibitions, but also by the steady growth of its unique inventory of programs.

www.deutsche-kinemathek.de Bei Bio Photo: Subuddha Kellner (Video installation in the Hall of Mirrors) Live Talk and Music Broadcast on: April 4, 1984, ARD

Nam June Paik was a guest on Alfred Biolek’s program and set up five large video installations. A couple dancing the rock ’n’ roll to “Rock around the Clock” contributed with a vibrant choreography to this spectacle in which the studio audience was also invited to participate.

A house of moving images

The Filmhaus at the Sony Center currently houses the following institutions under one roof:

• The central departments of the German Film Archive Foundation (SDK) – Library, Publications, Collections/Photo Archive, Film Archive and Film Distribution – all of which have always integrated television history into their work. • The Film Museum Berlin with its Permanent Exhibition on German film history and Special Exhibitions on international topics. • The German Film and Television Academy Berlin (dffb), whose graduates also go on to work in television. • The International Forum of New Cinema, a national and international arena for film and television directors outside the mainstream. • And the Friends of the German Film Archive (FdK) with its two Arsenal movie theaters and a sophisticated program which also includes screenings of television productions.

www.deutsche-kinemathek.de Der Pott Screen shot: Television Museum – Deutsche Kinemathek/ WDR Experimental film Adapted from the play “The Silver Tassie” by Sean O’Casey Written and directed by: Peter Zadek First broadcast: Jan. 12, 1971 (Adolf Grimme Prize 1972)

“Without a doubt, this production was the climax and conclusion of Zadek’s interest in television electronics. It was the first time he worked with color and electronic cueing. This enabled him to combine completely heterogeneous electronic images, such as studio shots, film sets, real figures, realistic and fantastic elements.” (From: Volker Canaris. Peter Zadek. Der Theatermann und Filmemacher, 1977, p. 256)

Mains Topics of the Museum

• Television and film • Television, politics and current events • Television and entertainment • Television and video art • Television in the digital age and in the future

The Television Museum will draw substantially on the history of television in both East and West Germany. Whenever relevant and feasible, reunited Germany will be examined by exploring both parts of the country. The Television Museum also regards its program as a contribution to the on-going political and cultural dialogue between former East and West Germany. In addition, it will endeavor to cooperate with nearby institutions as well as with other significant institutions in Germany and abroad. The Museum’s activities will also include investigating the results of its historical work in the context of topical debates on media policies.

www.deutsche-kinemathek.de The Dusty Springfield Show Photo: Subuddha Kellner (Video installation in the Hall of Mirrors) Directed by: Bob Rooyens First broadcast: Dec. 15, 1969, WDR

Even today, British singer Dusty Springfield is regarded by many as having been the only “White Queen of Soul”. At the beginning of her career she scored two international hits with “You Don't Have to Say You Love Me” and “Son of a Preacherman”. Keen on experimenting, Bob Roovens contributed to ensuring her name would live on by using the latest innovative blue box and cueing technologies in this landmark show.

The Rooms

The Television Museum will have five rooms that are accessible to the public. As with the Film Museum, they have been conceived by the architect Hans Dieter Schaal (architecture and design) and Jakob Lehrecke (construction). Their realization is occurring in cooperation with the initiator and founder of the Television Museum of the German Film Archive Foundation (SDK), Hans Helmut Prinzler, and the project team, whose members are Christa Donner, Peter Paul Kubitz, Peter Schwirkmann and Gerlinde Waz.

A visit to the Television Museum will begin on the 3rd floor of the Filmhaus with the first two rooms of the Permanent Exhibition: the Hall of Mirrors and the Time Tunnel. Via a spiral staircase, visitors will reach the third room of the Permanent Exhibition, the Program Gallery, as well as the rooms for Special Exhibitions, conferences and events.

The Television Museum will have an area of approximately 1200 square meters at its disposal.

www.deutsche-kinemathek.de Tempo 76 Photo: Subuddha Kellner (Video installation in the Hall of Mirrors) Variety show Broadcast on: Dec. 31, 12.1975, DFF/GDR Television

One of the highlights of this New Year’s Eve show were two gold-clad and -painted dancers. They performed their impressive Indian temple dance to the theme music of “Das unsichtbare Visier”, a special agent series produced in the GDR and starring Armin Mueller-Stahl.

Hall of Mirrors - Room 1 (Permanent Exhibition)

The Museum’s showroom. The side walls, ceiling and a part of the floor of this eight-meter- high room are clad with 141 mirrors. A spectacular, chronological review of television programs is projected onto them. Some of the images fill the entire room; others, only a portion of one wall; some scenes are presented in three parts; while still other excerpts from different shows merge into one image and recount tales of their own. The visitor experiences a choreographed voyage through a half century of television, condensed into five chapters:

• The New Medium (1953-1963) • Democratization and Politicization (1960s to 1970s) • Experimental Settings (1967-1985) • The Inroads of Commercial Television (1984-1990) • Television Round-the-Clock (1991-2006)

Time Tunnel - Room 2 (Permanent Exhibition)

The Time Tunnel takes visitors through the broadcasting history of television: from the beginnings of television at the end of the 19th century to the first television experiments under the National Socialist Regime; from the divergent positions of East and West Germany and their developments to present-day programs. Emphasis will also be put on extraordinary achievements of the medium: live broadcasts of events of national and international significance, including audio-visual material from the coronation of Elizabeth II and the poignant speech delivered by John F. Kennedy in front of the Town Hall in Berlin-Schöneberg, to the first moon landing and the first time Boris Becker won Wimbledon, to the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 and the funeral of Pope John Paul II.

www.deutsche-kinemathek.de Das Millionenspiel Photo: Film Museum Berlin – Deutsche Kinemathek / WDR Written by: Wolfgang Menge Directed by: Tom Toelle First broadcast: Oct. 18, 1970, ARD (WDR)

“Visionary TV movie by Wolfgang Menge, adapted from the science fiction short story “The Prize of Peril” by Robert Scheckley. It presents a fictitious game show in which the candidate Bernhard Lotz (Jörg Pleva) can become a millionaire if he survives a hunt by professional killers, headed by Köhler (Dieter Hallervorden). The presenter (Dieter Thomas Heck) cries out: ‘Good luck to the killers and all the best to the man hunted!’ Many viewers did not realize that it was not a real game show and applied to be candidates.” (From: Michael Reufsteck, Stefan Niggemeier: “Das Fernsehlexikon”, 2005, p. 798)

Program Gallery - Room 3 (Permanent Exhibition)

Via a spiral staircase, visitors can make their way to the Program Gallery on the 4th floor. The Gallery will have six “islands” with televisions each equipped to seat up to four viewers.

It will open with a representative selection of some hundred programs that were broadcast on (East and West) German television over the past 53 years, from which visitors will be able to choose their favorites and watch them in their entirety: prize-winning productions, unforgettable live broadcasts, programs with record ratings, cult shows. They can also go exploring by accessing a data bank that contains all the programs as well as background information on each production, including details about their directors, authors, actors and much more.

Special Exhibition Room and Audio Lounge - Room 4

In this room the Museum will highlight individual topics and outstanding personalities from past and present television programs. To complete the Museum, an Audio Lounge is in planning which will concentrate on radio productions. Radio will be explored as the leading medium in society in the period leading up to television and in its role as model for television. An acoustic recollection, this installation looks out on Potsdamer Platz where the history of German radio began: the first regular radio station started broadcasting from the Vox House in 1923.

From May 5 to July 30, 2006, the Television Museum will show its first Special Exhibition GOAL! Football and Television: a review of football on occasion of the Football World Cup in Germany as “Official Element of the Artistic and Cultural Programme of the Federal Government for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ in cooperation with the 2006 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee”.

The exhibition will focus on how football influenced the development of television and how television has contributed to shaping professional football. It describes the enactment of text and images, the presentation of spectacle and show, the drama of money and emotions, the intoxicating effect of images and the more sobering moments revolving round this leather ball.

Conference and Event Room – Room 5

Via the Audio Lounge with its view of Potsdamer Platz, the Special Exhibition Room is connected to the Conference and Event Room where press conferences, symposia, meetings for experts, receptions and live broadcasts will be held. The Special Exhibition Room and the Event Room can also be used as one space for special occasions and themes, e.g. for joint exhibitions put on by the Television Museum and the Film Museum.

Hella von Sinnen (here with Alfred Biolek on April 14, 1990) wore a different remarkable costume on each show, many of which were designed by Silvia Boucke and the costume design class from the University of Arts in Cologne. She was dressed, for example, as the Berlin Wall, the Statue of Liberty, the Great White Shark, a perfume bottle, the Empire State Building and a bathroom, with a sink protruding from her stomach. Each show ended with the guests throwing cakes at the hosts.

Supporters and Sponsors

The Television Museum’s collections and work on its programs have also been facilitated by the engagement of the public television networks ARD and ZDF, the Media Institution Berlin- Brandenburg (mabb) and the Directors’ Conference of the German State Regulatory Authorities for Broadcasting (DLM). As members of the Museum’s advisory board, they will accompany future projects as well. RTL and ProSiebenSat.1 are also supporting the Television Museum by supplying programs; a regular partnership is currently under consideration. Veolia Water has committed itself to sponsoring the Museum’s event and exhibition activities until 2012. The Television Museum is to grow bit by bit with each television program it needs for its work – as well as by accommodating the wishes and ideas of the public.
