"German emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II, indulged in traveling. One of the most-traveled monarchs of the turn of the century, he rode automobiles, trains, yachts and ships, crisscrossing Germany, Europe, and even the Near and Middle East, specifically Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and the Holy Land's Jerusalem. His travels were employed in political communication strategies by the government, instrumentalizing the mass media. However, not all communication factors could be controlled during such travels -- with the Kaiser himself often spinning out of control. His travels also had important policy and diplomacy functions.

GERMAN/DEUTSCH Wilhelm II. galt als "Reisekaiser", seine Touren bedienten die Medienlogik wie nie zuvor. Doch sie lösten auch Krisen aus.
