Schlussverkauf DDR - Die Geschichte der Treuhandanstalt, Teil 2 (1999)

The End-of-Season of the GDR is the first comprehensive documentary about the history of the trust company on TV, an explosive mixture of politics, human fates and economic crime story. 2nd part: It begins with a funeral service. Detlev Rohwededer was shot by the RAF, as is assumed. A woman, Birgit Breuel, so far as a member of the board responsible for branches becomes the new president. The woman at the top enters upon a severe inheritance. Ever bigger regions in the former GDR are threatened by deindustrialization. Here, Chancellor Kohl exercises his authority: the chemical triangle will survive even if this will cost further millions. More than 30 billions of marks are pumped to Leuna and Bitterfeld. International combines such as Elf Aquitane and Dow Chemical commit themselves and where at the time when the GDR existed whole areas were contaminated one of the most uptodate refineries in Europe is developed. A further example of French investment is the media town Babelsberg. Yet, besides the activities of reconstruction there were innumerable cases of criminality. Solely the examples Halle and WBB meant a loss of more than 240 million of German marks. At the end the protagonists of the film strike the balance: What was the benefit of the trust company? script: Axel Grote, Michael Jürgs direction: Axel Grote camera: Niels Bolbrinker, Uli Köhler sound: Gerd Jäkel editing: Dominik Busch production: Ingrid Günther, Peter Felger, Annette Rupp Produced by Tele Potsdam for ZDF / 3sat © 1999, License Ventana Film- und Fernsehproduktion mbH Subscribe: https://goo.gl/KJ3YSa
