ZDF Factual Programming –

ZDF has an enviable reputation as one of the most important providers of
factual programming in Europe. In the highly competitive German TV market, ZDF runs numerous regular documentary strands including weekly
broadcasts of documentaries in two prominent prime time slots, with high
market shares of 12 – 15%. Topics such as expeditions to unknown worlds,
legends and mysteries in the history of mankind, spectacles of nature, the
evolution of man and the turning points of 20th century history have been
shown to attract large audiences. The success of programs such as Terra-X,
Doomsday, World War I, Secrets of the Third Reich, History of the Germans
and Planet Egypt reflects the high degree of audience appreciation for this
program format. For ZDF, visual quality is a prerequisite for the success of a
documentary. Today’s top documentaries are highly-dramatized narratives
which convey important themes in gripping style, making full use of the
medium’s potential. The narrative element is therefore a key factor in the
success of the genre. However, the outlay necessary to do justice to these
requirements is significant: intensive research and careful preparation of
the material is essential. The dramatic component (structure and editing)
attains top feature-film levels, while the composition, in terms of picture and
music, matches that found in the best theatrical productions.

In the middle of the controversy about renewable energies and climate

Duisburg and Lünen, stone coal fired power stations with almost 5300
megawatt are currently being connected to the net.
This happens although the last German coal mines are going to close down
