In September 2013, Professor Karl Toepfer appeared in an episode of the BBC television series Who Do You Think You Are? with the pop singer Marianne Faithfull, whose mother was Eva von Sacher-Masoch, a dancer in Berlin in the early 1930s. Much of the episode was filmed in Berlin, where Professor Toepfer shared information about Eva von Sacher-Masoch’s dance work that Ms. Faithfull had not previously known.
