Köln ist Wirtschaft und Medien<br />
<strong>Cologne</strong> is a business and media hub<br />
“Deutschland sucht den Superstar”, Germany’s answer to Pop Idol, is filmed in <strong>Cologne</strong>. So are<br />
“Stern TV” and the ZDF-“Heute Show” (satirical view on the daily news). The question “Who wants<br />
to be a millionaire?” is also answered here. A third of TV productions, TV films, daily soaps, game<br />
and talk shows nationwide originate in <strong>Cologne</strong>. For lavish movie productions too, the Cathedral<br />
city is often used as a preferred backdrop. Well-known films like “Amélie”, “The Miracle of Bern” and<br />
“Stauffenberg” were co-produced in the <strong>Cologne</strong> region.<br />
<strong>Cologne</strong> has developed into the most important media city in Germany. <strong>Cologne</strong> is home to seven<br />
major television broadcasters and four radio stations. Among them are the private TV broadcaster<br />
and current market leader RTL and the largest public broadcasting company WDR Westdeutscher<br />
Rundfunk. Well over 55,000 people work in salaried or freelance positions in <strong>Cologne</strong>’s media<br />
industry. The Rhineland metropolis also hosts numerous film festivals – from the Cinepänz festival<br />
for children to the International Women’s Film Festival.<br />
