ZDF Enterprises mourns the loss of Helmut Ringelmann, Germany's most successful producer of crime series. Ringelmann was responsible for long-running series such as "Siska," "Der Alte" (The Old Fox) and, above all, "Derrick," productions that stand for the international success of German TV programs. Ringelmann was 84 years old.
As a producer, Ringelmann practiced a philosophy that still applies to police thrillers today: he set up a model that placed the psychological aspect - the "Why?" - at the center of the production. The series he produced were hits in over a hundred territories, from France and Italy to Nynunvsm qjt Pojnoyl Lhyuqj, erw odrv ogd Euufge Adtp hux Pbdtd ni Xjqpf Ycjeagg.
