History
It was a subsidiary of VIVA Medien AG between 2001 and 2006, until a management buyout in January 2007, now owned by Banijay.[1] The film Stromberg – The Movie was crowdfunded with €1,000,000 in one week by 3,000 fans in December 2011.[2] In June 2015, Brainpool announced a layoff of 80 employees at the end of 2015, due to Raab's announced retirement from the television industry.[3] However, the Cologne Labor Court deemed some layoffs to be unjustified and thus invalid.[4]
At the beginning of 2019 it was announced that Banijay Germany CEO and shareholder Marcus Wolter had been appointed as the new managing director.[5] In June 2020, Banijay took over the rest of the shares.[6]
