A three-paneled look at the Severinsviertel (Vringsveedel) district in Cologne.

Europe’s nature is subject to dramatic change. On the one hand, biodiversity is sinking, on the other hand there is an impressive comeback in the animal world. The reasons for this are manifold: the EU’s nature conservation policy or the increasing urbanization that creates more space for wild animals in the countryside. But the main reason is probably the successful projects of resettlement on the entire continent. The series takes a look at newly restored wild areas in the heart of Europe and formerly extinct animal species, which are introduced by biologists back into their natural habitat and thus create scarcely noticed natural treasures.

With 500 horsepower under the hood across Europe: Anyone who thinks that the truck industry is only for real guys has not yet met the female protagonists of this (…) series. No matter whether heavy transport, trailer, refrigerated truck or tipper: Moni, Christina, Anne and Janet have everything under control in the driver's cab. They drive fat trucks along the highways. It doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman. The job remains the same even with painted fingernails under work gloves. In this highly competitive business, there is a risk of breakdowns and traffic jams along the way. Sitting on the fence with deadline stress is often no walk in the park. But the “Trucker Ladies” like to be on the road – it’s in their blood. (Text: DMAX)

Der Schwächste fliegt! is the German version of the game show The Weakest Link, literally meaning The Weakest one flies. It was first broadcast on 19 March 2001, on RTL. The show premiered weekdays at 15:00 and was hosted by Sonja Zietlow. Just like the British version, the show pitted nine contestants against each other for a pot of DM 50,000. But by September of that year, the show was sinking fast in ratings, so in order to gain ratings, Sonja treated the contestants with more respect. Previously, Sonja bullied the contestants with insults such as "Da wollen wir doch mal sehen, wer unsere kostbare Studioluft lang genug weggeatmet hat!" The change in Sonja's behaviour did not sufficiently revive the show, and it was cancelled in December. In February 2002, the show was given another chance in the late-night Saturday slot, this time with a newly revamped studio, that now featured an audience, and a higher prize of € 50,000. This version lasted for only two months.
