Gamecity Hamburg Impulse: Democracy, History and Games in Dialogue Panel Discussion

In our last Gamecity Impulse event we talked about how games can shape remembrance culture and influence how we engage with history and democracy. Some of the key takeaways: Games are powerful memory media: they don’t just tell stories, they let players experience historical processes and decisions. Interactive mechanics create a deeper understanding of systemic dynamics and personal responsibility. Respectful and appropriate design is essential—avoid trivialization while keeping engagement. The panelists called for more collaboration between developers and cultural institutions to ensure authenticity and educational value. And they want to see more experiments and diverse narratives to counter stereotypes and broaden perspectives. Thank you so much to our panelists, Markus, Tabea, and Jörg, for sharing your insights. On the panel were: • Markus Bassermann, Historian, Project Manager and Coordinator of the serious game “Erinnern. Die Kinder vom Bullenhuser Damm” (Remember. The Children of Bullenhuser Damm) about confronting the past in relation to one's own experience of the present. • Jörg Friedrich, Game Director at Paintbucket Games (Through the Darkest of Time, The Darkest Files, Remember, the Children of Bullenhuser Damm). • Dr. Tabea Widmann, Management Digital Mediation at the Zeppelin Museum, Friedrichshafen. In cooperation with Stiftung Hamburger Gedenkstätten und Lernorte. https://www.gedenkstaetten-hamburg.de...
