history

Studio Hamburg was founded in 1947 by Gyula Trebitsch and Walter Koppel as part of Real-Film GmbH . Real-Film GmbH's first production was the film " Arche Nora " (premiere February 6, 1948). The studio was purposefully expanded and not only used by Real-Film, but also rented to other producers. Over a hundred feature films, including Des Teufels General , Der Hauptmann von Köpenick and Die Zürcher Verlobung were shot here.

In 1959, Norddeutsche Werbefernsehen und Werbefunk GmbH (NWF) took an 80% share in the studio, which was separated from Real-Film as Real-Film-Atelier-Betriebs GmbH under Trebitsch. In 1961 the name was changed to Studio Hamburg GmbH . In 1970 there were considerations that Axel Springer Verlag should participate in Studio Hamburg. This led to resistance , especially within the SPD . The state party congress of the SPD Hamburg passed a resolution in which it said among other things: "The state party congress expects all decision-making bodies of the NDR and its subsidiaries to oppose the planned transaction in its current form." ZDF moved its state studio in Hamburg here in 1989 and Sat.1 , Premiere and RTL Television also have production facilities here.

Studio Hamburg has been awarding the Studio Hamburg Young Talent Award since 1997 (see also: House of Young Producers ). Since 1971, the company has been 100 percent owned by NDR through its subsidiary NDR Media GmbH (formerly NWF GmbH ) .
