Heinrich August Winkler, the best-known German contemporary historian, is calling on the SPD to do more Pistorius and less Scholz in view of the war in Ukraine – and also accuses the Union of having long ignored the threat posed by Putin’s Russia.
Heinrich August Winkler suggested meeting at his regular café, outside in the Grunewald. The Haus am Waldsee is a well-known exhibition venue for contemporary art, especially for artists who came to Berlin after the fall of the Wall. The 85-year-old effortlessly climbs the two floors up to the studio. The probably best-known German historian has every figure ready, but no manuscript. A conversation develops that is quite ruthless. Even for the incumbent Chancellor.
