Brainpool TV GmbH is a German television production company located in Cologne.

History

[edit | edit source]

It was a subsidiary of VIVA Medien AG between 2001 and 2006, until a management buyout in January 2007, now owned by Banijay.[2] The film Stromberg – The Movie was crowdfunded with €1,000,000 in one week by 3,000 fans in December 2011.[3] In June 2015, Brainpool announced a layoff of 80 employees at the end of 2015, due to Stefan Raab's announced retirement from the television industry.[4] However, the Cologne Labor Court deemed some layoffs to be unjustified and thus invalid.[5]

At the beginning of 2019 it was announced that Banijay Germany CEO and shareholder Marcus Wolter had been appointed as the new managing director.[6] In June 2020, Banijay took over the rest of the shares.[7]
