point of view
From 1990 to 2012, blickpunkt was a German ZDF television magazine , broadcast from the ZDF news studio in Mainz .
In the course of German reunification, the magazine was launched on October 7, 1990 under the title Blickpunkt aus den neue Länder as the successor to GDR on the way , initially with reports and reports from East Germany.
The series was initially discontinued at the end of 1991. However, it was later determined that the unification process of the merged parts of Germany was probably not yet completed, and from January 1993 onwards, Blickpunkt was back in the program.
As a rule, the series came from the ZDF internal policy editorial office, although the church editorial offices were responsible for twelve programs a year. There was the rubric “Church of the Month”, in which dilapidated churches in the east were presented, for whose renovation donations could be made. In 1997, blickpunkt was honored with the silver hemisphere of the German Prize for Monument Protection.
Every summer the program came several times live from various East German cities, otherwise from the ZDF broadcasting center in Mainz. From 2009 blickpunkt was produced from the ZDF's virtual news studio.
The topics of the program focused on the areas of economy , politics , society , sport and current affairs.
The "Excitement" thematized a current topic in particular, so that the audience was encouraged to critically examine the topic.
Blickpunkt was last broadcast on Sundays at 10:15 a.m. A broadcast was usually around 45 minutes long.
With the last issue on June 24, 2012, the broadcast was discontinued.
From 1963 to 1979 the ZDF brought a magazine under the title Blickpunkt on television, but this has nothing to do with the show blickpunkt .
