Gero Wecker founded the company in 1953. The very first production, the homeland film Die Mädels vom Immenhof , became a popular success in 1955 and was followed by sequels in 1956 and '57. Controversial, however, was the documentary So Was Der deutsche Landser , a compilation of old newsreel material that was published in the same year and criticized by the voluntary self-regulation of the film industry for “militaristic, nationalistic and national socialist tendencies”. Another success in 1956 was Liane, the girl from the jungle , which also resulted in two sequels. In 1957 under the direction of made Veit Harlan staged, homosexuality thematizing film different from you and me (§ 175) for controversy, the only after a revision of the FSK was released for performance in Germany. The company then tried war and crime films such as U 47 - Kapitänleutnant Prien (1958) and a remake of Bombs on Monte Carlo (1960). After the failure of the crime film The Secret of the Three Junks , the production company had to file for bankruptcy in 1965.
