ARD Text Goes Retro for December 2021

Throughout December, ARD Text will be featuring classic teletext pages from 1987-1999 courtesy the Videotext Museum (@DFF_Text).

Videotext archaeologist Christian Handwerck has been recovering snapshots from old teletext services via his collection of domestic video tapes.

With more content posted each day of the month, this will be a rare opportunity to view German teletext that hasn’t been seen for over 20 years.

First up (pictured in the third tweet below) is one of the oldest recovered pages, from October 1987.
