Das Reproduzieren bestimmter Geschichtsbilder in Videospielen geht mit dementsprechenden Authentizitätsvorstellungen einher. Dies ist auch bei Kingdom Come: Deliverance der Fall. Hier löste die Darstellung des Mittelalters eine Debatte darüber aus, ob in diesem Spiel ein Geschichtsbild mit ‚politischer Agenda‘ vermittelt wird. Dieser Beitrag soll durch einen Blick auf das kulturelle Gedächtnis aufzeigen, aus welchen Gründen eine solche Debatte wenig zielführend ist.
The reproduction of common historical images in video games is often linked to certain ideas of authenticity. This is also the case with Kingdom Come: Deliverance, whose representation of the Middle Ages has set off a debate about whether it conveys a certain political agenda behind its views on history. By analyzing cultural memory, this paper shall outline why such a debate is less than constructive.
