With its 18 million inhabitants NRW not only boasts the biggest popula9on among the German federal states; it is also one of the most economically powerful metropolitan regions in Europe. The media and communica9ons industry plays a decisive part in this. With 25,000 companies in the media and communications sector (2012), approximately 425,000 employees (2012), and a turnover of 126 billion Euros (2010), the state has developed into Germany’s leading media and crea9ve loca9on and one of the strongest in Europe. An incomparable cultural landscape ensures that the region is a:rac9ve and offers a high quality of life as well as produc9ve crosslinks between media, art and culture that guarantee its crea9vity and innova9ve vitality. Interna0onally opera0ng media companies Two global players head the ranks of the most influen9al media companies in North Rhine-Westphalia. Bertelsmann AG, the largest media corpora9on in Germany by far and number eight in the world, has its global headquarters in Gütersloh in Eastern Westphalia. This media giant operates in the following four main business fields in more than 50 countries around the world: television (RTL Group), books (Random House), magazines (Gruner + Jahr) and media services (arvato). Bertelsmann globally employs more than 100,000 people and posted revenues of 16.1 billion Euros in 2012. Bonn, some 200 kilometres to the southwest, is the home of Deutsche Telekom AG. With 133 million mobile phone customers, and 32 million landline and more Bertelsmann is based in North Rhine-Westphalia and interna9onally. The media business is experiencing rapid transforma9on. Digitaliza9on and crea9vity find the perfect innova9ve environment to par9cipate in these changes in North Rhine-Westphalia. Thomas Rabe, Chairman of the Board Bertelsmann AG Media Harbour Düsseldorf, Gehry Buildings than 17 million broadband connections, it is among the world’s leading market representatives. The company offers products and services in the fields of landline telephones, mobile communications, Internet and, increasingly, moving images via IPTV and ICT solu9ons for business customers; it is represented in some 50 countries and employs more than 230,000 staff across the world. In 2012 the revenues of Deutsche Telekom amounted to 58.2 billion Euros. The Essen-based Funke media group (formerly the WAZ media group) also plays in the interna9onal media league with more than 10,000 employees in eight countries and revenues of 1.1 billion Euros in 2011. The tradi9onal focus of operations at this company in the heart of the Ruhr region is the newspaper and magazine business. Publishers with a future Along with Bertelsmann and the Funke media group, the DuMont Schauberg media group, the Handelsbla: newspaper from Düsseldorf and the Ippen Gruppe in Hamm are among the most important na9onal players in Germany. Today, what used to be classic publishers are broad-based interna9onal media corpora9ons facing up to the challenges of new digital distribu9on and aware of how to take advantage of them. The book publishers, too, are well equipped for the future. More than 500 publishers from NRW achieve a turnover of 3.7 billion Euros, first and foremost the German market leader in the field of hardcover literature, Bastei Lübbe, and the respected publisher Kiepenheuer & Witsch in Cologne. Watching films on a smartphone, reading magazines on a tablet PC, or watching IPTV on your television set – media and telecommunica9ons are growing closer together. NRW is well-posi9oned to promote this converging world with its crea9ve minds, innova9ve companies and technological competence.

Outstanding movies for the cinema have been produced here consistently for 20 years: including Til Schweiger’s Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, Tom Tykwer’s Run, Lola, Run, Sönke Wortmann’s The Miracle of Bern, Bully Herbig’s Manitou’s Shoe, Wolfgang Becker’s Good Bye, Lenin!, Wim Wenders’ Oscar-nominated Pina, and Margarethe von Tro:a’s Hannah Arendt. On top of that, many interna9onal produc9ons also benefit from the state’s first-class infrastructure, ideal condi9ons for produc9on, and a huge variety of unusual locations for shooting. With crea9ve and financial input from North Rhine-Westphalia, Michael Haneke (Hidden), Ken Loach (The Wind that Shakes the Barley) and Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Uncle Boonmee) won Golden Palm awards in Cannes, Semih Kaplanoglu (Bal) a Golden Bear, Samuel Maoz (Lebanon) a Golden Lion, Philip Gröning (Into Great Silence) the European Film Award, Gérard Corbiau (Farinelli) and Hany Abu-Assad (Paradise Now) a Golden Globe each and Kate Winslet even claimed an Oscar for The Reader. In 2012, Ron Howard, Lars von Trier, Jim Jarmusch, Sam Garbarski and Xavier Koller were among the directors who were shoo9ng their new films here. Events and awards Where so many professionals from the fields of media, communica9on and crea9vity meet, they need pla8orms for communica9on and events for their sectors. One perNRW is one of Germany’s most important media loca9ons. Cologne is especially important, above all in the field of the major entertainment shows and long-running series. We see the func9oning network of crea9ve minds, producers and service providers as well as the RTL Deutschland media group's geographical proximity to a large number of produc9on companies as being a key factor of our success. Anke Schäferkordt, Managing Director RTL Group manent fixture in the diary for the whole media business is the Media Forum NRW in Cologne where thought leaders of film, television, radio, print media, games, telecommunications and media policy meet each year in June. The fair gamescom is one of the most important interna9onal fairs for interactive entertainment. It takes place at the trade fair grounds, Koelnmesse, as does ANGA COM, Europe’s leading fair for cable, broadband and satellite offers, as well as Radio Day, photokina and dmexco. As far as film fes9vals are concerned, North Rhine-Westphalia provides a wide variety of events: almost 30 of them, ranging from regional to international importance, address the interests of film enthusiasts and professionals from Bonn to Bielefeld throughout the year. Europe’s biggest fes9val for book lovers, lit.Cologne, has been making reading into a popular event for 13 years now. More than 200 individual events have a:racted more than 90,000 visitors so far in 2013. And not least, NRW, as the centre of television in Germany, is the venue for the most pres9gious German television awards. Every year since 1999, the broadcasters ARD, ZDF, RTL and SAT.1 have been presen9ng the Deutscher Fernsehpreis (German TV Award) in the Coloneum in Cologne. The presenta9on of the Deutscher Comedypreis (German Comedy Prize) is made during the Interna9onal Cologne Comedy Fes9val, which underlines Cologne’s status as Germany’s comedy capital every year. Since 1964 works of outstanding ar9s9c and journalis9c quality for television have received the annual Grimme Prize in Marl. And the highly tradi9onal Deutscher Kamerapreis (German Camera Award) is at home in NRW, along with the s9ll young Deutscher Webvideopreis (German Web Video Prize). < The diversity of the a:rac9ve media region of NRW is unique in Europe. With its crea9vity and passion for cinema, WDR is an excellent partner for exci9ng and modern projects. This is where risks are taken and experiments carried out. We support the next genera9on of film-makers and media crea9ves and offer them a fer9le home at WDR.

WDR Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), Europe’s biggest public broadcaster and the largest sta9on in the ARD network, has its headquarters in the heart of Cologne’s city centre. WDR not only produces around 22 per cent of the programming on ARD’s joint television network Das Erste, but also provides content for the children’s channel KI.KA, the cultural channel Arte, the documentary channel Phoenix as well as the cultural channel 3sat and ARD’s digital services. WDR's most successful formats include the Sportschau, the ARD Morgenmagazin, Monitor, Menschen bei Maischberger, hart aber fair and Di8sche.

The RTL sister channel VOX also provides important impetus for the development of entertainment with such formats as X Factor, Die Promi-Kocharena, Das perfekte Dinner, Shopping Queen and Der Hundeprofi – Mar7n Rü8er. Super RTL, n-tv and the latest offshoot RTL Nitro are further channels from the RTL family based in Cologne. These channels taken together make the company into Europe’s largest private broadcaster.

In Bonn, Phoenix has now been opera9ng for 16 years from what was once ZDF’s capital city studio. Phoenix is run in coopera9on with ZDF and ARD, represented by WDR.

The providers of commercial regional television include NRW.TV. From its base at the harbour in Düsseldorf, the channel provides a framework schedule for all of NRW. Cologne is the perfect loca9on for the things I do. There is a lot of overlap between friends and colleagues here, and I like to work with people who are also my friends. I like to see how things are organized elsewhere. But I am always extremely happy to return to Cologne, where I see that things work as I like. Anke Engelke, Comedian Stefan Raab Sandra Maischberger Günther Jauch Sonja Zietlow Oliver Welke Steven Gätjen Harald Schmidt Daniel Hartwich Chris7an Rach The local broadcasters Center.tv, CityVision and Studio 47 supply individual ci9es and regions with their own range of programmes.

Almost all of the entertainment highlights of German television are produced in the TV capital of Cologne. Broadcasters, producers and interna9onal networks can take advantage of the professional competence that has been established here in the past decades.

A top-class and powerful TV industry has developed within the orbit of the RTL Deutschland Media Group and WDR, and this also offers an ideal environment for the growth of small channels like RTL NITRO. Oliver Schablitzki, Head of RTL NITRO Television s9ll con9nues to fascinate people. A lot is produced here in Cologne of the kind of programming that excite and entertain the viewers. We are grateful for the fact that we are able to work and live in such a crea9ve and innova9ve environment. Claude Schmit, Managing Director Super RTL At VOX, we live as a channel from the crea9vity of our highly qualified personnel – this applies as much within the RTL Germany Media Group as it does in the collabora9on with produc9on companies. This is par9cularly relevant at a 9me when we are wan9ng to transform the digital challenges into chances. And precisely those people able to do this are based here in Cologne.

Brainpool NRW is also the breeding ground for important local producers. For instance, Brainpool with its headquarters in Cologne-Mülheim has developed since being founded in 1994 from a classic producer into an all-embracing entertainment network which is not only responsible for major It is especially pleasing that the interna9onal importance of North Rhine-Westphalia as a TV produc9on loca9on is increasing. Not only the leading shows, but also the most successful varia9ons of German formats are coming from Cologne.

NRW, and Cologne in par9cular, are something like the headquarters of the German TV entertainment sector: broadcasters, producers, service-providers and studio operators are all based here. There is no be:er infrastructure for ac9on-filled prime-9me shows and big media events in Europe. Jörg Grabosch, Managing partner BRAINPOOL TV Christoph Maria Herbst Germany’s TV-Stars NRW is the professional home of major TV stars. They don’t just appear here in front of the camera, but are also key movers and shakers in the TV industry as producers. For instance, Brainpool runs joint produc9on companies with ar9sts like Stefan Raab, Anke Engelke, Axel Stein and Elton. Harald Schmidt has been producing his late night show himself in Cologne-Mühlheim since 1997. Günther Jauch also gives important impetus to the industry with his own company i&u TV, producing, for example, Die ul7ma7ve Chartshow, Klein gegen Groß and the extremely successful 5 gegen Jauch. Frank Plasberg’s company Ansager und Schnipselmann is based in Düsseldorf and handles such ARD shows as Frag doch mal die Maus, Hirschhausens Quiz des Menschen and Das Quiz der Deutschen.

Broadview made the successful leap into the interna9onal film business with Klitschko. Similar subjects are also in the spotlight of the Gruppe 5 Filmproduc9on. It has produced, among other 9tles, Konrad Adenauer, Die Deutschen, Abenteuer Wissen and Terra X. ColourFIELD from Dortmund produces high-quality doNRW – an embarrassment of riches: everything is right on your doorstep, including an audience of 18 million which has no objec9on to seeing its own region on film. I ask myself why anyone would want to shoot anywhere else … ? We certainly like shoo9ng here, and nothing is going to change that. Thanks to the Films9ftung for its enduring support which makes the loca9on ul9mately unique. Leopold Hoesch, CEO Broadview TV Henning Baum cumentary series like Tropenfieber, Expedi7onen ins Gehirn or Das Imperium der Viren and has made a name for itself, in par9cular, with the large-scale ZDF project Deutschland von oben, which also found its way onto Germany’s cinema screens. > The close proximity to the important broadcasters and the outstanding produc9on condi9ons for quality television make NRW a:rac9ve for Endemol. So a:rac9ve that we are not only producing interna9onal TV hits like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? or Re8e die Million! in Cologne for Germany, but are also doing the same for other European TV markets as well. Marcus Wolter, Managing Director Endemol Cologne is without any doubt the capital of TV entertainment: this begins with the development of new ideas and ends with one being able to work in NRW with the most gi'ed talents on both sides of the camera to complete a crea9ve distance event like 'Das perfekte Dinner' (weekdays since 2006) with consistently high quality AND lots of fun.

The TV highlights of recent years, which were supported by the Film und Mediens9'ung NRW, include Genera7on war, The Adlon, Dresden and Die Gustloff for ZDF, Pinocchio (two-parter special for Christmas 2013, FFP New Media), Nacht über Berlin – Der Reichstagsbrand, Stauffenberg and Speer und er for ARD and Heroes, Auf der Jagd nach dem Bernsteinzimmer and Die Sturmflut for RTL. Studios, equipment and service-providers NRW has not only seen the development of a TV infrastructure unique throughout Europe over the past few decades, but also acquired the leading edge in experience. Technical service-providers like MMC, which provides one of Europe’s largest state-of-the-art studio complexes with a floor space totalling 157,000 sqm at the Coloneum in CologneOssendorf, and nobeo in Cologne and Hürth are considered as top addresses when it comes to modern TV studios. With these two, the Cape Cross Studios (Brainpool) in Cologne-Mühlheim, WDR’s produc9on studios in CologneExcellent public support, a good infrastructure, big TV sta9ons, lots of crea9ve people, Europe’s biggest studio at MMC and experienced providers of services for cinema, films and television: for Zeitsprung NRW is the ideal produc9on loca9on and a major centre of the television medium. Michael Souvignier, Managing Director Zeitsprung Pictures George, ARD Pinocchio, WDR/ARD Bocklemünd and the studios of DFA and Cubic in Düsseldorf, the region has a wide range of produc9on facili9es and technical know-how for fic9on and non-fic9on formats. And thanks to the large Bundesliga stadiums, such as in Dortmund, Gelsenkirchen and Cologne, as well as halls like the Lanxess Arena in Cologne and the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf, NRW has made a name for itself as the venue for large-scale TV events from the Eurovision Song Contest (ARD) through the final of Germany’s Next Topmodel (ProSieben) to Deutschland gegen Holland – Die Revanche (SAT.1). < Cologne is by far the most important German produc9on hub for TV shows. Cologne is called the entertainment capital – and deservedly so. Friedhelm Bixschlag, Managing Director MMC Studios The studios and, above all, the excellent standard of personnel have kept NRW at the forefront of German TV entertainment for several years.

In order to build on this posi9on in economic, technological and crea9ve terms, the state supports the industry with enduringly effec9ve, mul9faceted support programmes and ins9tu9ons. This means NRW is not only the federal state with the strongest state film funding programme; its commitment to companies and projects in the field of new media, startups and young entrepreneurs also provides outstanding opportuni9es for development. Over and above its decisive par9cipa9on in the most important funding ins9tu9ons, the state of NRW also supports the film and media industry with competitions for the development of innovative and above all convergenceoriented business models in the digital media of the future. The interests of the media are represented politically by the Ministry for Federal Affairs, Europe and the Media, which is situated in the state chancellery. The Department of Culture at the Ministry for Children, Youth, Culture and Sport supports media-cultural projects in a number of ways, with fes9vals profi9ng as well as the state’s cinemas and media workshops. Promotion of the creative industries with multiple interfaces to the media is based in the Ministry of Finance. North Rhine-Westphalia is the place for ideas, for crea9ve minds. They develop visions and stories, and so they all make NRW into the most successful film and TV loca9on in Germany. Whether films for cinema or TV, documentaries, soaps or the best in entertainment – there is no other loca9on producing as much as the Rhine and Ruhr region. This is a success story we owe to crea9ve minds from film and TV. But the state has contributed a lot as well. And it will stay that way. That’s a promise. Marc Jan Eumann, State Secretary for Federal Affairs, Europe and the Media 10 Film- und Mediens0ung NRW The Film- und Mediens9'ung NRW is the financially strongest state funding ins9tu9on in Germany with an annual budget of 34 million Euros.

Besides the state of NRW, broadcasters WDR, ZDF, and RTL, and the state media authority (Landesanstalt für Medien NRW, LfM), are shareholders in the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW GmbH. Since 1992 the Film- und Mediens9'ung NRW has accommodated one of three German MEDIA antennae, which – along with comprehensive advice for the preparation of MEDIA funding applications in Brussels – also offers networking support for European coopera9ons.
