Grimme Prize for ‘Akte D’

Our investigative history format “Akte D” has been awarded the Grimme Prize.

In the first season of the format, broadcast in the ARD, we deal with the German post-war justice, but also with the role of Deutsche Bahn in the Third Reich or the political influence of the electricity conglomerates and trace historical continuities to this day. A second season is in preparation.

We are proud and honored and would like to thank everyone involved:

Christoph Weber, Winfried Oelsner, Florian Opitz and Julia Meyer as well as Frederik Walker, Joerg Adams, Dennis Broer, Sias van Zyl, Bastian Barenbrock, Kawe Vakil, Marc Accensi, Dürbeck & Dohmen, Gregor Höppner, braverabbit, Erwin Poley, Rina Ringl , Doris Offermann, Ingo Eickenbusch, Anja Klisch, Lucas Meyer-Hentschel and producer Bernd Wilting.
