Karstadt: Die Geschichte einer Übernahme, die nie enden wollte

For over a century, Karstadt was a symbol of stability and trust in Germany. But within just fifteen years, the company went through three successive "saviors"—each leaving a bigger mess in its wake than the last. In this video, we trace how Thomas Middelhoff, Nicolas Berggruen, and René Benko ran the company in three completely different ways, the role millions of euros in taxpayer money played, and why, in the end, the same people always footed the bill: the ordinary employees behind the counter. A story about trust, promises, and how slowly justice can move and how quickly greed can move.
