Wolfgang Junker presents a series of documentaries about German culture of the past with an interest in learning from history in order to avoid catastrophy and achieve peace for all humanity in the present day.



In this episode, Junker describes the tendency to idealize the past while acknowledging that civilazation has made progress with the benefit of intellectual freedom. He begins from the end of Charlemagne's reign to discuss the cultural and spiritual revival of the Middle Ages. He presents the documentary film "Treasure Chamber of the Munich Residence" whose art and craft characterize this development. The intellectual life of universities founded by the Catholic Church continued this progress, and Junker holds up the work of Hans Holbein as a reflection of the upheavals of the era between Middle Ages and Renaissance, presenting the film "At the Turn of the Age". <27 mn>
