Abstract

This text is part of the digital mapping project Campus Medius, the historical case study of which deals mainly with the Austrofascist “Turks Deliverance Celebration” (Türkenbefreiungsfeier) held in Vienna on May 14, 1933. Here, the chapter of the study is republished that examines the equipment used for the live broadcast of the mass rally in the Schönbrunn Palace gardens as well as on Radio Wien. It follows a media-archaeological approach that does not primarily focus on the content of the transmitted speeches, but rather asks which infrastructure made these public communication processes possible in the first place.
