Anspielstationen
Anspielstationen, also known as "Easter eggs" or "hidden messages," are elements intentionally placed within a work of art, literature, film, or other media that are not immediately apparent to the average viewer or reader. These elements often serve as a form of inside joke, reference, or commentary, and can be a source of enjoyment and appreciation for those who discover them. Anspielstationen can take many forms, including hidden images, subtle references to other works, or even entire subplots that are only revealed upon closer inspection or multiple viewings. They are a common technique used by creators to engage with their audience and add an extra layer of depth to their work. While not all works contain Anspielstationen, they are a notable feature of many popular and critically acclaimed pieces of media.
