Best of 2023

The Werksgelände magazine was launched in March 2023. Since then, we have published many exciting stories: as videos, audio, photo reports or interviews. So here’s a look back at the most clicked articles from 2023.

Have fun browsing through our Best of 2023 and our top 3 recommendations from the editorial team.

Place 1:

Place 3:

‘Best of’ from the individual workshops

We could have limited ourselves to publishing the ranking list of the most clicked articles. However, this would not have done justice to the content in our magazine. Our media workshops produce a diverse range of texts worth reading, radio contributions worth listening to and videos and photos worth seeing. We also want to reflect this versatility in our ‘Best of’. That’s why you’ll find the ‘Best of’ the individual workshops here.
