On 7 November, Hartmut Benz will be speaking about the colourful figure of Prelate Rudolf Gerlach (1886–1946), a native of Baden-Baden, on the WDR programme “Zeitzeichen” (WDR-5 from 9.45 am to 10.00 am and on WDR-3 from 5.45 pm to 6.00 pm). Gerlach was Cameriere Segreto of Pope Benedict XV and was forced to leave the Vatican and Italy during the First World War.

Benz has published several essays on Gerlach in the "Römische Quartalschrift".
