Rezeptionsgeschichte von Thomas Müntzer [History of the reception of Thomas Müntzer]

In the third podcast episode, Jan Scheunemann, historian at the Saxony-Anhalt Cultural Foundation, sheds light on the history of the reception of Thomas Müntzer. He talks about how the image of Müntzer has been portrayed over the years in academia, art and politics, how Müntzer has been instrumentalised in the relationship between the GDR and the FRG and how this development also shapes our perception today.
