For one of her first productions, There are still hazelnut bushes , she was able to win over 80-year-old Heinz Rühmann in 1982 , who owed his post-war comeback to her father in 1956 with Der Hauptmann von Köpenick .

In March 2004 Trebitsch left the THP, but continued to work as a television producer (for Trebitsch Entertainment GmbH, which was newly founded on April 1, 2004). Her late productions lack the social commitment of some of her early works; Instead, Katharina Trebitsch concentrated almost exclusively on pure entertainment and mainly produced romances and series crime stories ( Bella Block , Donna Leon , Commissario Laurenti ) that were created in exotic locations .
