From 4 to 12 September, the Rehberghalle in Roßdorf, Germany, was transformed into a musical stage. Under the direction of Broadway Entertainment e.V., young people from the local area staged a rendition of Jekyll & Hyde. Lighting Designers, Benedikt Vogel and Kilian Scheiding relied on Cameo by Adam Hall Group OPUS
supplied by Pfungstadt-based MKM Event Show Technik
has been staging impressive show productions for quite a few years now
recently celebrated their musical premiere in the Rehberghalle
“The location itself is one of the biggest challenges,” revealed Deputy Technical Manager and Light Operator
“The Rehberghalle is an ordinary sports hall that we have to turn into a musical theatre every year
the hall has a restricted height of just 5.60m.”
After the production technology team’s positive experience with Cameo OPUS S5 spot moving heads during their previous production
Scheiding and Vogel were also able to rely on the OPUS X PROFILE for Jekyll & Hyde
“The OPUS X is used as a front and side light and delivers great results when used as an effect light from behind,” said Scheiding
In accordance with the dark overall atmosphere of the story and the low-key style with its stark contrasts
the lighting designers mainly immersed the stage in a desaturated cool white light from the Cameo F Series
The F2 D Fresnel spotlight was the daylight specialist here
provided both cool white and red accents to the stage lighting

It’s the most impressive ‘new’ movie we’ve seen this year: Robert Siodmak’s 1957 political thriller fictionalizes a true mass murder case in 1943 Berlin — one that a high-ranking Nazi wants to justify the extermination of ‘undesirables’ for the furtherance of Aryan white supremacy
The snapshot of home-front Berlin is fascinating
and also the depiction of a complacent public that goes along with official lies nobody fully believes
the unjustly obscure show stars Claus Holm
The illuminating audio commentary is by Imogen Sara Smith
Do we only know about Nazi Germany through the movies
Impressions of this subject are often tapped to express our present-day political polarization
especially for arguments that go nowhere: ‘Your people are worse than Nazis’ — ‘No
Not that many films deliver genuine insights about Nazi Germany
The Devil Strikes at Night (Nachts wenn der Teufel kam) floors us
It was produced by the great Robert Siodmak
who fled to Hollywood and became the most consistent director of films noir
German audiences rejected many films that ‘dug up old wounds,’ yet flocked to this show and showered it with awards
The Devil Strikes at Night grabs us right from the start. The movie was sold as a kind of update of Fritz Lang’s “M”
and an eerie prologue prepares us for a horror film about a serial killer
We instead get a complex picture of Berlin and Hamburg when the Allies were closing in
Life goes on fairly normally amid the uncleared rubble
The Devil Strikes at Night’s serial killer case becomes a springboard to examine suppressed truth and official lies in a very sick situation
Men in uniforms are telling the civil authorities which criminals to prosecute
‘Looking the other way’ is a part of everyday life
When Axel asks if an address number plate is missing from a building
a man doesn’t answer directly: if he said the metal plate had been stolen
he might be accused of spreading malicious rumors that Berlin has a problem with thieves
The police admit that the parks don’t have park benches any more
but nobody’s saying they’ve been stolen for firewood
Homicide detective Kommissar Axel Kersten (Claus Holm) has just resumed his police job after being wounded at the Russian front. He initiates a credible, warm relationship with police clerk Helga Hornung (Annemarie Düringer, later of Veronika Voss)
unreliable official news and the encroachment of Reich politics creates a nervous ‘Business As Usual’ attitude in the precinct
A murder occurs during an air raid: a waitress (Monika John) is found strangled. Circumstantial evidence leads to the arrest of her lover Willi Keun, a Public Relations Officer (Werner Peters of The 1,000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse)
Keun’s extramarital affair is uncovered as well as the fact that he’s been pilfering rationed stores — details that will make prosecution all that easier
Noting that the crime is only one of many in which the victim’s neck bones were crushed
Axel concludes that Keun isn’t strong enough to be the killer
Kersten’s smart investigation gets the attention of the high-ranking SS Gruppenführer Rossdorf (Hannes Messemer)
but for the wrong reason: Rossdorf hopes that the guilty party will turn out to be a habitual criminal or better yet
He wishes to use the case as political PR to legalize the ‘elimination’ of citizens judged mentally defective
We already know who killed the waitress: a slow-witted
It’s the first film role for the remarkable Adorf; his career never slowed from that point forward
A simpleton who can’t tell the time or respond well to simple questions
Bruno is like one of the human flotsam characters in Berlin Alexanderplatz
and the ‘paragraph 51’ classification that tags him as mentally impaired
Nobody in the neighborhood knows what Bruno does when not making deliveries
He lives in a shed where he keeps souvenirs of 11 years of killings
We even see evidence of possible child victims
the honest nurse Anna Hohmann (Rose Schäfer)
He says he ‘found’ a purse; to our surprise he meekly allows Anna to prod him into turning it in
He walks right into the police station with her
The childlike brute cooperates fully with the investigation
and Axel determines that he isn’t lying when he describes murders going back a full decade: there is a long list of unsolved killings with the same modus operandi
That’s when Gruppenführer Rossdorf steps in to pull the case from civilian police control
He’s been looking for the right crime story with which to rally the public behind his ‘we can arrest and kill anybody’ legislation
It’s all to curry favor with Adolf Hitler’s inner circle
The Nazis want to back their ambitions with official
Rossdorf begins cultivating Axel Kersten to be his personal police liaison
It’s not important that Axel be a Nazi party member
as nobody believes membership guarantees anything
plying Axel with packets of scarce luxuries like coffee and soap
But he also makes it known that if Axel causes trouble
In one rather brilliant bit Rossdorf’s car is blocked on the road by a shepherd’s flock
he frustratedly complains that ‘the public’ might resist the removal of their last legal protections: “How long will these damn sheep stall us?”
A mold is taken of Bruno’s head in anticipation of putting him on display as a ‘scientific’ example of racial degeneration
Rossdorf suddenly decides that publicizing the Lüdke case won’t serve his purposes: the public could instead fixate on the incompetence of the police
for letting such a monster keep killing for so many years
The case instead ‘disappears’ from the public record
Axel Kersten won’t stop asking for Keun’s exoneration even after being coldly reprimanded: “Justice is that which will benefit the German people.” In this place and time
even a little idealism is hazardous to one’s survival
Willi addresses an intensely patriotic group of giggling teenaged girls just returned from helping with a harvest
Willi chats up the girls with lecherous ‘compliments’ as he hands out Nazi Party trinkets
The Gruppenführer embodies the insidious nature of Nazi power
Rossdorf is a skilled corporate planner ‘taking care of business’ in a ruthless organization
A later film relevant to this point is Heinz Schirk’s 1984 The Wannsee Conference
which uses an actual transcript to cover a single meeting in which Reinhard Heydrich lays out specifics for The Final Solution
Mass murder is discussed as if it were an inventory issue in an industrial supply chain
Siodmak’s film also alludes to SS depravity with a suggestion of secret orgies
One of Axel’s meetings with Rossdorf is interrupted by a parade of debauched SS men with their guests and their fancy women
laughing as they stumble to the bomb shelter
inebriated woman oozes herself into Rossdorf’s embrace for a moment
It’s an underplayed throwaway moment
The existence of concentration camps is noted in just one scene
Before his arrest Bruno makes a delivery to a woman named Frau Weinberger (Margaret Jahnen)
the woman tells Bruno that she’s a Jew in hiding
Frau Weinberger’s fugitive status is almost an open secret — even the building’s concierge seems to know what’s going on
The impression given is that her neighbors won’t be able to ‘look the other way’ much longer
More progressive is the sequence in which the police take Bruno to the forest to recreate one of his crimes
Siodmak’s camera becomes subjective to show Bruno’s confused delirium
His delight at being at the center of attention is expressed in handheld shots of him running ‘free’ through the woods
For a few moments we’re inside Bruno’s mind
A couple of blurring pans evoke the same disorienting quality of the final cemetery scene in The Good
The Devil Strikes at Night is a mature and believable look at a society perverted by Fascism
Axel appeals to a judge who is turning a blind eye to a gross miscarriage of justice
It surely took years for the judge to sink to this point of utter legal depravity; he must placate the SS yet manages to calm the suddenly-too-gullible Axel
The one scene is worth two hours of Stanley Kramer’s Judgment at Nuremberg: this judge is so deeply embedded in the Nazi hypocrisy that Axel hasn’t a chance
The Devil Strikes at Night is so rewarding and insightful that its downbeat ending does not depress: the good Axel does not consider himself defeated. Some hope shines through, which is more than can be said for Masaki Kobayashi’s Japanese war epic The Human Condition
I see something positive in Axel’s brief exchange with the good-hearted nurse Anna
Even if he must ‘play Peter’ and deny that there ever was a Bruno Lüdke
and he’s now free of his illusions about Fascist authority
With its Blu-ray of The Devil Strikes at Night
Kino Classics appears to have tapped into a new supplier of European cinema
the B&W show looks and sounds brand new
The original photography mixes studio work with excellent locations — call the style ‘neorealism with a high technical polish.’ We’ve read for years about Nachts wenn der Teufel kam and are thrilled to be able to see it looking this good
Now they were ready for movies revisiting traumatic episodes like ‘Operation Valkyrie.’
Smith contrasts Teufel with Helmut Käutner’s more radical exposé movie Black Gravel. She judges it to be more like American noirs that scratch at social failings — Joseph Losey’s The Lawless and Russell Rouse’s The Well
Ms. Smith also relates some of the facts about the real Bruno Lüdke, whose story has been a political football ever since his arrest in 1943. There was no trial, so the evidence against him was never put in the public record. Some say that he was an innocent railroaded by the police. Lüdke’s Wikipedia Entry is one ‘citation needed’ flag after another
the commentary ends with the weighty observation that The Devil Strikes at Night is more relevant than ever: our present-day politics is in a fix where objective truth must compete for attention with ‘alternative facts.’
Devil was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Picture but lost to Fellini’s Nights of Cabiria
One reason the show feels so refreshing is that it owes so little to American filmmaking — it’s not aimed for a U.S
Robert Siodmak’s later career would taper off but here he’s at the top of his game
venturing far afield of the noir style he mastered in Hollywood
Note: also just released on Blu-ray is one of Siodmak’s last American films
The cover illustration appears to be from a French poster that replaces an image of Bruno with a generic Nazi villain
It doesn’t directly relate to the movie — no officer menaces a woman in that way
For a movie with only a single on-screen murder
We’re still awaiting improved encodings of postwar Germany’s Die Mörder sind unter uns (The Murderers are Among Us) and Der Verlorene (The Lost Man)
directed by Peter Lorre — and who knows how many more gems are waiting for wider distribution
Glenn Erickson left a small town for UCLA film school

2009 12:00 PMMonopoly Killer: Perfect German Board Game Redefines GenreOne German genius has engineered a faster

Winning some obscure German award may not sound impressive
but in the board game world the Spiel des Jahres is
More are sold per capita in Germany than anywhere else on earth
The country's mainstream newspapers review board games alongside movies and books
and the annual Spiel board game convention in Essen draws more than 150,000 fans from all walks of life
The Settlers of Catan only recently caught fire in the U.S Because of this enthusiasm
board game design has become high art—and big business—in Germany
Any game aficionado will tell you that the best-designed titles in the world come from this country
the phrase German-style game is now shorthand for a breed of tight
well-designed games that resemble Monopoly the way a Porsche 911 resembles a Chevy Cobalt
despite having designed a series of successful German-style titles
Teuber still thought of making board games as a hobby
we would sell 300,000 the first year and then next to nothing the next," he says
So Teuber stuck with his day job selling dental bridges and implants
struggling to keep afloat the 60-person business he had inherited from his father
At night he would retreat to his basement workshop and play
One day Teuber began tinkering with a new theme for a game: an uncharted island
players would slowly discover the island by flipping over tiles
then establish colonies using the indigenous natural resources
The game incorporated elements of other ideas Teuber was working on
but for some reason this one seemed special
"I felt like I was discovering something rather than inventing it," Teuber says
he would bring the new game upstairs to test it out on his family
but Teuber could tell that the game wasn't working
Other times his wife would suddenly remember a load of laundry that needed immediate attention
Teuber would haul the game back downstairs for further refinement
He repeated this process over the course of four years
a board game scholar at Curtin University of Technology in Perth
"It wasn't until Settlers that the whole thing broke wide open."
The Settlers of Catan has become a worldwide phenomenon
It has been translated into 30 languages and sold a staggering 15 million copies (even the megahit videogame Halo 3 has sold only a little more than half that)
and even a novel—all must-haves for legions of fans
And it has made its 56-year-old inventor a household name in every household that's crazy about board games
Settlers is actually inducting board-game-averse Americans into the cult of German-style gaming
Settlers doubled its sales on this side of the Atlantic
moving 200,000 copies in the US and Canada—almost unheard-of performance for a new strategy game with nothing but word-of-mouth marketing
It has become the first German-style title to make the leap from game-geek specialty stores to major retailers like Barnes & Noble and Toys "R" Us
Settlers is now poised to become the biggest hit in the US since Risk
it's teaching Americans that board games don't have to be either predictable fluff aimed at kids or competitive
artful dance of algorithms and probabilities lurking at its core
a potent combination that's changing the American idea of what a board game can be
they create a communal experience that brings people together
or a particularly remarkable stroke of luck all produce a shared memory
only a few types of games have really taken off
intellectual skill-based games whose devotees are interested in playing little else; party games like Trivial Pursuit and Jenga; and traditional strategy games like Risk and Monopoly
which are generally seen as child's play or possibly something to do while trapped in a snowstorm without power—just before you eat your own foot
explains it this way: "Monopoly has you grinding your opponents into dust
It's all about cackling when your opponent lands on your space and you get to take all their money." Monopoly
is a classic example of what economists call a zero-sum game
Gouging and exploiting may be perfect for humiliating your siblings
but they're not so great for relaxing with friends
Monopoly also fails with many adults because it requires almost no strategy
The only meaningful question in the game is: To buy or not to buy
Most of its interminable three- to four-hour average playing time (length being another maddening trait) is spent waiting for other players to roll the dice
Board game enthusiasts disparagingly call this a "roll your dice
"It's the Microsoft of our world," Solko says
"If I could wave a magic wand and replace all the copies of Monopoly out there with Settlers
I truly think the world would be a better place."
Violence in particular is taboo in Germany's gaming culture
a holdover from decades of post-World War II soul-searching
when Parker Brothers tried to introduce Risk there in 1982
the government threatened to ban it on the grounds that it might encourage imperialist and militaristic impulses in the nation's youth
(The German rules for Risk were hastily rewritten so players could "liberate" their opponents' territories
German-style games tend to let players win without having to undercut or destroy their friends
requiring anywhere from 15 minutes to a little more than an hour to complete
preventing one person from running away with the game while the others painfully play out their eventual defeat
And the best ones stay fresh and interesting game after game
Teuber nailed all these traits using a series of highly orchestrated game mechanics
each representing one of five natural resources—wooded forests
they're arranged at random into an island
numbered tokens marked from 2 to 12 are placed on each tile to indicate which dice rolls will yield a given resource
Because the tiles get reshuffled after every game
The idea is that players establish settlements in various locations on the board
and those settlements collect resource cards whenever the token number for the tile they are sitting on gets rolled
By redeeming these resource cards in specific combinations (it takes a hand of wood
and the first player to earn 10 points wins
You can't get ahead by rustling your opponents' sheep or torching their cute wooden houses
who uses Settlers to teach his four children how free markets work
Wheeling and dealing turns out to be an elegant solution to one of the big problems plaguing Monopoly—sitting idle while other players take their turns
Since every roll of the dice in Settlers has the potential to reap a new harvest of resource cards
"The secret of Catan is that you have to bargain and sometimes whine," Teuber says
Teuber also made the game as flexible as possible
Building the longest road is worth two points
and collecting development cards (purchased with resource cards
these can offer a Year of Plenty resource bonanza or straight-up points) also brings you closer to victory
The games that stand the test of time have just a few rules and practically unlimited possibilities
making them easy to learn and difficult to master
far more than the number of atoms in the universe.)
the game is designed to restore balance when someone pulls ahead
that person is suddenly the prime candidate for frequent attacks by the Robber
Roll a seven—the most likely outcome of a two-dice roll
as any craps player knows—and those with more than seven resource cards in their hand lose half their stash
while the person who rolled gets to place a small figure called the Robber on a resource tile
shutting down production of resources for every settlement on that tile
players often target the settler with the most points
players will usually stop trading with any clear leader
these two lines of attack can reduce a front-runner's progress to a crawl
lagging opponents have multiple avenues for catching up
All of this means that players must use strategy and move smartly
but even flawless play doesn't necessarily lead to easy victory
"When a lot of us saw it, we thought this was the definition of a great game," says Pete Fenlon
Settlers' English-language distributor
you're engaged in other people's turns
There are lots of little victories—as opposed to defeats—and perpetual hope
Settlers is one of those perfect storms."
Settlers may be the Mona Lisa of the board game renaissance
he makes an appearance at the Spiel convention in Essen
At an autograph-signing session there in October
and starstruck 9-year-olds clutched copies of Settlers for Teuber to sign
Dressed in sensible black shoes and a blue shirt
he was so soft-spoken that fans had to lean in closely to hear him when he signed their games
He hardly comes across as the rock star he has become
Teuber got into board games for one main reason: to entertain his wife
and that same year they had their first son
and moved to western Germany so Teuber could fulfill his mandatory military service
Not knowing anyone in town left Teuber with a lot of free time
but my wife always lost—and that's no fun," he says
"So I looked around for things we could both play." This quest eventually lead Teuber to Germany's game culture and ultimately to creating games himself
another frequent Spiel des Jahres contender
studied software engineering before deciding to make games full-time
Teuber tends to build his games organically—introducing an element here
tweaking an element there—until he's developed a fast
is every bit as mathematically intricate as those of his colleagues
set out to make an Xbox 360 version of Settlers
To help programmers develop the game's AI
Teuber spent months exploring the mathematics of his most famous creation
charting the probability of every event in the game
The odds of a six or eight being rolled are almost 1 in 3 for example
while the chance of a four being rolled is 1 in 12
There is a 2-in-25 chance of drawing a Year of Plenty development card
Teuber created elaborate logic chains and probability matrices in a complex Excel spreadsheet so the videogame developers could see how every possible move and roll of the dice—from the impact of the Robber to the odds of getting wheat in a given scenario—compared
The end result was a sort of blueprint for the game that gave Big Huge Games a head start and showed just how complex the underlying math was
gnarliest spreadsheet I had ever seen," Reynolds says
Teuber has now made millions of dollars with Settlers and its multitude of offshoots
but the glass trophy shelf in his Rossdorf studio is getting a bit dusty: He hasn't won a major German board game prize since 1997
"I don't have a secret recipe," he says
"I'm really lucky to have discovered such a great game once."
sold half a million of these titles in 2008
"We're growing at 30 to 35 percent a year
most of my customers this year weren't my customers two or three years ago
They didn't know these games existed."
Even the mass-market giants are starting to pay attention
To make Monopoly more competitive with German-style games
new editions are reemphasizing an old rule that no one paid much attention to: If a player lands on a property and chooses not to buy it
that real estate immediately goes up for auction
This engages everyone at the board and pushes property into the mix much faster
cutting the 74-year-old game's playing time by more than half
"It makes the game more intense and much quicker," says Helen Martin
Hasbro's vice president of global marketing for Monopoly
"And we know that people who play that way play more often." Hasbro similarly revamped Risk to speed up play; new rules make winning the game possible in less than an hour
Settlers still has a long way to go before it overtakes classics like Monopoly
Part of the problem is brand recognition: Monopoly has been a best seller since the '30s and has been played by more than 750 million people
familiarity is key: The average board game buyer
She's not going to take a chance on something she doesn't know
That makes it tough for a foreign import with an odd name. "Settlers isn't mass-market yet," says Michael Gray
Hasbro's senior director of product acquisition
But Settlers can still take over an hour to play
Teuber's plan for overcoming this challenge is
He hopes that digital versions of Settlers will help conquer (sorry
He and his son Guido are convinced that moving the game online and onto platforms like Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS is the best way to win converts outside the board game world
The idea is that after getting to know the game and its rules on the PC and game consoles
people will be more likely to buy the analog version—still the most fulfilling and social Settlers experience—to play with friends
And a PC version of the game and its expansions will come out in English this spring featuring multiplayer and AI smart enough to challenge the strongest players
Will it be enough to take on the likes of Hasbro and become the go-to game in every American's hall closet
"The challenge is to stay at a high level for years
to catch up to Monopoly," Teuber says
that would be great." Only a few billion wheat-for-sheep trades to go

Immer wieder waren es investigative Journalist*innen und antifaschistische Recherchegruppen
welche die Verbindungen zwischen der AfD und rechtsterroristischen Zellen und militanten Strukturen herausgearbeitet haben
Stück für Stück wurde die AfD von der etablierten Politik normalisiert
ihre Thesen und Positionen übernommen und der Diskurs immer weiter nach rechts verschoben
Erst dadurch konnte der Nährboden entstehen
auf dem die AfD in den letzten Jahren gewachsen ist
Lichterketten gegen Rechts zu bilden oder seiner Empörung in den sozialen Netzwerken zum Ausdruck zu bringen
die Partei und ihre handelnden Individuen entschlossen zu bekämpfen
Wir wollen ihnen gemeinsam mit euch die Räume streitig machen
in denen sie sich wie selbstverständlich bewegen
unbehelligt fühlen und in Sicherheit wähnen
Denn die Mitglieder und Sympathisant*innen der AfD sind nicht irgendwer
Sie sind unsere Nachbar*innen oder Arbeitskolleg*innen
Teilweise ist ihr Engagement bekannt und wird von ihrem Umfeld mit Gleichgültigkeit betrachtet
Wer die Floskel „Nie wieder ist jetzt“ ernst meint
