Evening studio
The evening studio was a radio broadcast that was produced and broadcast by the Hessischer Rundfunk (hr) from 1948 to 2003 . It was founded by the writer Alfred Andersch at Radio Frankfurt, the predecessor of the hr. “Streams of Modern Culture” was the programmatic subtitle of the series, which was considered the most advanced of the ARD's night programs .
history
Alfred Andersch signed his contract with Radio Frankfurt on August 1, 1948. He took on the task of building a so-called “midnight studio” based on the Hamburg model. The first broadcast was broadcast on October 19, 1948.
The editorial staff of the evening studio not only wanted to convey new content, but also endeavored to develop radio forms such as the listening sequence from which the feature emerged. In addition to talks and discussions, lectures, author readings and radio plays were an integral part of the program, which was broadcast on hr2 after the second program was founded.
The best-known pieces that were produced for the evening studio include Siegfried Lenz 's Die Nacht des Tauchers (1955) and Hans Magnus Enzensberger's Eight Minutes World in Shards (1957); both were later also published as audio books. In the early 1960s, Ulrike Meinhof wrote features about work-related accidents on the assembly line and Himmler's adjutant Karl Wolff for the Frankfurt series .
The authors of the evening studio included not only well-known writers, but also philosophers, especially representatives of the Frankfurt School . Theodor W. Adorno spoke about “The Aging of New Music” (1955), Jürgen Habermas about “Neoconservatives in the USA and the Federal Republic” (1982) and Alfred Schmidt about “Herbert Marcuse's Heidegger Marxism” (1989 ).
In September 2003 the series was discontinued as part of a program reform in favor of the talk series "hr2 Doppel-Kopf".
