Der Verleger
The Publisher
Adapted from Michael Jürg's biography "Der Fall Axel Springer", the series dramatizes the success story of a visionary who launches his career in the post-war years with only a rattletrap of a car and a pile of novels. Thanks to his charismatic personality, he persuades the Allies to give him a newspaper franchise. Soon he is turning out a radio program guide with a circulation of several million. His greatest publishing coup is a daily newspaper catering to the man in the street. Yet business is not the only field he is a success in—women also succumb to his charm. Although millions read his newspaper every morning, he sees himself not as a political figure, but as a patriot. Unwilling to accept the division of Germany without a fight, he embarks on a daring mission to Moscow, to the Kremlin, to convince Krushchev of the necessity of reunification. He fails and returns home, humiliated. From now on the Eastern Bloc is his adversary. The publisher feels misunderstood in his own country, even if he has done much to improve understanding between nations, and especially, time and time again, for the Jews and the state of Israel. He is most vehemently attacked as a too-powerful opinion-maker by the student demonstrators of the 1968 generation.
