MDR Corrects Article on Kloster Veßra's Right-Wing Past
MDR Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk has corrected an article and accompanying audio concerning Kloster Veßra, a former right-wing gathering place. The corrections address the language used to describe renovation work.
MDR Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk has issued a correction to a previously published article and its associated audio recording regarding the property Kloster Veßra. The original article, published on October 12, 2026, focused on the site's transformation from a known meeting point for right-wing circles into a space intended for more democratic use.
The correction specifies that work undertaken by 27 students at the property did not constitute a "complete gutting" (komplett entkernt) in the strict sense. MDR has subsequently removed this phrasing from both the text and the audio to ensure accuracy.
The broadcaster maintains a section on its website titled "In eigener Sache" (On Our Own Behalf) to inform its audience about factual corrections and clarifications. This initiative is part of its commitment to transparency and maintaining public trust.
Through this section, MDR typically announces subsequent corrections to rectify any inaccuracies and ensure that public discourse is based on accurate information. The section also lists other corrections from various programs and articles covering diverse topics.
