Was tun, wenn ein Toter in meiner Wohnung liegt? Diese Frage quält Gabriels Mörder. Er schmiedet einen grausamen Plan.

Woop! Woop! Enlightenment is in danger. The marketing of information and communication has made misinformation profitable, the public has become a space of deception and incitement. An increasing and uninhibited spread of cruelty and violence seems to be the result. Michael Hampe considers in his book "Crisis of Enlightenment" (Suhrkamp) whether a new understanding of "self" and "freedom" can also contribute to a renewal of the Enlightenment. And I am happy to bring him to your ears today. Enjoy!^^

Verena is a trauma therapist, author, and podcaster. Her book "Trauma and Relationships" is one of those books where I marked a lot of passages while reading, so I was very happy to talk to her about it now. I wanted to know from her why she specialized in trauma in particular, what attachment trauma is all about, and how we can recognize potential traumatization. We talk about false and correct assumptions about trauma, about attachment styles and relationship patterns, we talk about authenticity, confirmation, and forgiveness.

Richard is a philosopher, author and publicist. He was last a guest at Hotel Matze in June 2024. This time I wanted to know from him why he describes the German present as a "serious situation", why the old promise of advancement has eroded and what he thinks about Europe. It's about fear as a guiding principle of politics, about narrow power plays, constant polls and media logics - and we talk about structural solutions instead of personality cult, about Europe's future beyond hegemonic thinking and about the change in culture in the age of AI.

In the autumn of their lives, Alois and Sybille find their second spring. The two pensioners meet in 2011 via an online dating portal - and fall in love within a very short time. 67-year-old Sybille leaves her life in Berlin behind and moves to 75-year-old Alois in Munich, but after a few years the butterflies in their stomachs give way to everyday routine. Disputes occur more and more frequently - about minor things like the furnishings, but also existential things like money. Alois feels increasingly exploited and Sybille increasingly restricted, until the initially so in love couple think more and more often: How do I get out of this marriage again? In this episode of "Mordlust - Crimes and their Backgrounds" we take a close look at a case that shows how years of love can lead to the greatest betrayal. A case full of malice, intrigue and a surprising witness who ultimately provides the decisive evidence. The expert in this episode is Prof. Dr. Fritz Pragst, chemist and long-time head of the Forensic Toxicology Department at the Charité Berlin. **Credit** Producers/Hosts: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers Editors: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers, Simon Garschhammer Editing: Pauline Korb Legal Approval: Abel und Kollegen **Sources (Selection)** Landgericht München, Judgment of May 23, 2019, 2 Ks 127 Js 153106/18 Süddeutsche Zeitung: https://t1p.de/j7an7 Süddeutsche Zeitung:https://t1p.de/mulw1 Bild: https://t1p.de/kqcml **Episode Partner** Would you like to learn more about our advertising partners?

Amin erzählt, wie er als Jugendlicher aus Köln von einer Sekte ins Ausland geschleust wurde. Erst nach Jahren konnte er sich befreien. Amin recounts how he was smuggled abroad from Cologne by a sect as a teenager. Only after years was he able to free himself.

Woop! Woop! Veteran Außenpolitiker Michael Roth schreibt in radikaler Offenheit über die «Angsträume» der Berufspolitik. Über innerparteiliche Machtkämpfe. Soziale Medien und drohende Shitstorms. Den Pranger, wenn man die Rituale und Sprache der eigenen Blase, Partei oder Peergroup in Frage stellt. Das falsche politische Spiel mit gesellschaftlichen Ängsten. Das Gespräch fand auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse statt.

Hanno is a philosopher, author, and philosophy professor. In his book "Class," he examines how our notions of status and class shape our interactions and form our societies. I wanted to know from Hanno how status signals differ and where they come from, how to recognize the "secret codes" of the elite, and why classism plays such a defining role in our society. We talk about prejudice, inequality, and class struggle. It's about the term "Aretocracy" coined by Hanno, about socially constructed abundance, and the feasibility of socialism in our current society.

Inhaltswarnung: Diese Folge behandelt Gewalt gegen Kinder. Leila und Fadi sind mit ihren zwei Kindern unterwegs ins Wochenende. Gerade haben sie im Supermarkt eingekauft und die Lebensmittel im Kofferraum verstaut, als Leila plötzlich auf der Landstraße etwas am Horizont erkennt. Ein entgegenkommender Audi taucht mit waghalsiger Geschwindigkeit auf ihrer Spur auf, kommt immer näher. Fadi am Steuer versucht noch zu bremsen – vergeblich. Nur Sekundenbruchteile später fliegt die Familienkutsche durch die Luft. Nicht nur die Polizei fragt sich, warum die Frau im Audi nicht gebremst hat und dadurch das Leben der Familie für immer in einen Albtraum stürzte. In dieser Folge von „Mordlust – Verbrechen und ihre Hintergründe” geht es um einen Fall, der sich so jedes Jahr tausendfach auf deutschen Straßen abspielt – tausendfach gut geht, hier jedoch schrecklich endet. Ein Fall, der zeigt, dass die Entscheidung darüber, was ein Mord ist, alles andere als einfach zu beantworten ist. Expert:innen in dieser Folge sind die Verkehrspsychologin Nicole Adam und der Strafverteidiger und Fachanwalt für Verkehrsrecht Uwe Lenhart. **Credit** Produzentinnen/Hosts: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers Redaktion: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers, Daniel Hinz Schnitt: Pauline Korb Rechtliche Abnahme: Abel und Kollegen **Quellen (Auswahl)** Urteil 1 Ks 39 Ks 12-22 BGH 4 StR 350/23 Urteil 2 Ks 40 Ks 224 Calenberger Online News: Kirchdorfer Rehr: https://t1p.de/zjmmj **Partner der Episode** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Woop! Woop! Today, with Alexander Hagelüken, it's about the "Economics of Hate" (Dietz). With Chris Reiter, I pose the question, is Germany "Totally kaputt?" (Piper). Finally, Marcel Fratzscher argues in "After Us, the Future" (Berlin Verlag) for a new generational contract.

Hanna Heikenwälder is a molecular biologist, cancer researcher, and nonfiction author. She researches cancer development and aging at the University of Tübingen. In her book "Cancer - The End of a Fear", Hanna explains, based on current research results, why we need to better understand cancer to protect ourselves from it and what the future of cancer research and prevention may look like. I wanted to know from Hanna why we get cancer, what role our genes play in it, and why, according to her book, around half of all cancers are avoidable nowadays. We talk about cancer as a process, about "prehabilitation", about science communication, "entertaining studies", and Hanna explains why cancer is not a question of "if", but of "when".

Trigger warning: This episode deals with domestic and sexualized violence. Gregor is a true gentleman and, above all, the man Nicole didn't expect on her cozy solo Sunday walk. Sparks fly, as does Cupid's arrow a little later, right into her heart. Through cooking evenings and trips into nature, a shared everyday life develops for the newly in love couple. But only a few months later, everything changes. The relationship will suffer from the extreme change in character of one person, and it even goes so far that the initial love turns into a vortex of hatred, violence, and torture, from which in the end only one of them emerges alive. This episode of "Mordlust - Crimes and their Backgrounds" is about the fate of a person who was bitterly disappointed by those who should have protected her and narrowly escaped death.

He was the confidant of Cambodia's terror ruler Pol Pot. He married his widow and advanced his career. Who was the opportunist Tep Khunnal?

Woop! Woop! Today I'm talking to Matthias von Hellfeld about "The Uncertain Nation" (Herder), from reunification to dealing with migration, everything is included. I also spoke at the 55th Historikertag in Bonn with the chairman of the Association of Historians in Germany, Prof. Lutz Raphael. This is about the challenges for science, from political influence to AI in teaching. Then I speak with Alexander Clarkson again in our second meeting about the state of the world, the end of the old world order, and why the Kohl generation, like Merz, are unsuitable to lead us in this time. Last but not least, I speak with Giuliano da Empoli about "The Hour of the Predators" (C.H.Beck) and what Europe can still do to ward off the new princes. Enjoy!^^

From Jerusalem, Paul Ronzheimer speaks with Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar about the tense final hours before a possible deal between Israel and Hamas. Sa’ar reveals new details of Donald Trump’s 72-hour hostage plan - and warns that the former US president “won’t have the nerves to wait any longer.” What role does Trump’s impatience play in the fragile peace process? How far is Israel really willing to go in Gaza? And what does this all mean for relations with Europe and Germany, now under pressure over arms deliveries? A gripping conversation about diplomacy under pressure, the limits of trust - and the race against time to free the hostages. If you like the podcast, don’t forget to like and subscribe!

In this episode, I talk to my friend Philip Siefer, entrepreneur and co-founder of Einhorn. We talk about the shakiness in life, about old scripts that control us in certain situations, and about what it really means to let go. Philip explains why we can't just "push things away", but only really let go of them when we integrate them. We talk about meditation, mattresses, about filters in our heads and about public healing in a polarized space.

Lars Klingbeil is the Federal Chairman of the SPD, Federal Minister of Finance, and Vice-Chancellor. I wanted to know from him how he feels in the front row of German politics and in what way the decisions of the last year have changed his life, but also how his job as Finance Minister actually works. We talk about dilemmas and challenges, the distribution of billions in special funds, jogging with BKA support, hopes, justice, and trust in political colleagues.

Markus is a philosopher, author, and professor – and a recurring guest at Hotel Matze. In recent years, he has been intensively involved with the ethics of artificial intelligence, among other things, and I wanted to know from him how human and artificial intelligence differ and why we increasingly feel understood by our AI. We talk about animism, conspiracies, depth, a Ghandi-fication of humans, and what Taylor Swift has to do with it all.

First, no more water comes from the tap, then flames suddenly flare up: In a violet-painted apartment building in Düsseldorf's Flingern district, strange incidents accumulate in the 90s. The residents of Krahestraße 8 suspect early on that there is more to it than meets the eye - but when they see through the perfidious game, it is too late. On a mild summer night in July 1997, everything changes: The street will never be the same again and several lives lie in ruins. For this episode of "Mordlust - Crimes and their Backgrounds" we spoke to a family whose life was divided into a before and after that night and who subsequently had to endure a trial that dragged on for more than a decade.
