Steinwallen

Steinwallen is known for his Let’s Plays of historical games, in which he regularly provides historical context. On his YouTube channel Steinwallen Games & History, the historian combines atmospheric storytelling and immersive role-playing with in-depth historical knowledge, taking his audience on video journeys to historical locations. He sees games as an important cultural asset and a bridge to teaching history, without neglecting the fun of playing. This year, he expanded his commitment by critically analysing the Hearts of Iron IV DLC Götterdämmerung, sparking a broad discussion about remembrance culture that even reached the media world. His use of his reach for remembrance culture education and awareness deserves special recognition, as he makes important topics accessible to a community that is interested in history but often uncritical.
With over a decade of continuous presence and steady improvement in the quality of his content, Steinwallen shows a tireless commitment to the gaming and history community.
