Abstract

s English: For almost 90 years Germany has developed a well structured public support system for the use of educational audiovisual media. It consists of 600 regional media centres 19 state media centres, and the Institut f,r Film und Bild in Wissenschaft und Unterricht (FWU) as the main producer of educational media. Thanks to federal co‐operation at all levels of the various organisations, the user of the system has access to over 25.000 media titles. New technologies and their vast possibilities are changing all areas of life and are challenging our educational system. The discussions over the advancement of media is accompanied by organisational restructuring measures which are partially due to drastically reduced budgets. After a short outline of the history of the German media centres the author describes the current situation and the possibilities of further development in the near future of the ‘Bildstellen’ organisation.
