Information

The German Television Crime Festival has been presenting the most outstanding crime productions of the year from German-speaking countries since 2005. It originated from the idea of providing a platform for television crime dramas that does justice to their enduring appeal, inexhaustible range, and social relevance. Held in the historic Caligari FilmBühne in Wiesbaden, the capital of the German state of Hesse, the festival connects industry representatives, rolls out the red carpet for broadcasters and production companies for premieres, and offers the audience the opportunity for direct interaction with film and television professionals.
