history
Hajo Schedlich (born June 4, 1925 in Berlin; † March 23, 2015 in Mainz), ZDF employee from the very beginning and formerly long-time editor-in-chief of the series Das kleine Fernsehspiel , created in April 1975 on the broadcasting slot on which children's and animal films had been repeated, a completely new TV format: the classic morning program " Matinee ", which was introduced by the piece "Tedesca" from Giorgio Mainerio's 1578 printed music "Il Primo Libro de Balli".
Schedlich's core matinee editorial team consisted of Hans Kasper, Oliver Kraus, Michael Schneider and Harald Herzog, as well as freelancers and interns. The task was to present a sophisticated compilation from the “cultural cornucopia” of articles that had already been produced and archived. At the beginning of the 1980s, more and more in-house and commissioned productions were created and not just drawn from the archive. All of this could happen regardless of audience ratings, interview by Schedlich: "We were the station's cultural alibi"
In 1984 the general conditions changed abruptly due to the new competition from the private channels Sat.1 and RTL plus . The matinee editors now produce themselves, for example in the Mainz lower house, the series "Awarding of the German Cabaret Prize " (today at 3sat ) and from October 7, 1984 together with the cultural department of the city of Mainz "Die Stadtschreiber ", which consisted only of new contributions. From September 1986 the program "Die Stadtschreiber-Matinee" (broadcast every fortnight) was called, which ran until 1993. In addition, the “City Tournament” was produced from 1985 to 1991, a competition between German cities looking for the best local cultural program.
Starting in June 1986, the Sunday cultural broadcasting slot for the ZDF television garden was given up in the summer months . Shallow conversation in the garden promised better odds.
The last project planning by the matinee editorial team was an "alternative poetic garden show" about the specific poet Ian Hamilton Finlay based on a script draft by Luise Schlemmer, which could no longer be realized.
