Bundeskanzler-Helmut-Schmidt-Stiftung
23 April 2024
Helmut Schmidt, the fifth Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, not only shaped his hometown of Hamburg as a politician, publicist, and thought leader, but also had a significant impact on Germany as a whole and on international politics. The Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt Foundation addresses the central question: “Who was Helmut Schmidt?” and has been offering insights into Schmidt’s life and work through various exhibitions since 2017.
For several months, the new traveling exhibition “Challenging Democracy” will explore the multifaceted life and work of Schmidt. It will particularly focus on topics such as internal and external security, energy and the environment, as well as economic and social issues. At several interactive stations, visitors will have the opportunity to engage directly and contribute to a democratic understanding of politics.
235 Media was tasked with creating the media productions, programming, and screen design. This also included developing and implementing a four-minute animated film and producing several interview films with the exhibition organizers. Additionally, 235 Media was responsible for producing the entire exhibition, which included a total of nine modules equipped with various graphic elements and other components. Our responsibilities encompassed work planning, graphics production, and exhibit construction.
