Annette Hess, author: “Rarely have characters and a historical period come so close to me while writing as with ‘Ku’damm 56’. In addition, there was the great realization of all the trades, the inspiring, happy collaboration with ZDF, with UFA, with the actors and with the director Sven Bohse. Ku’damm 56′ received an overwhelming response from viewers. The subject of emancipation has touched a still intact, highly sensitive social nerve. I am all the more pleased to be able to continue working on this project, which is so important to me, in the wonderfully proven constellation with all the committed participants.”

Benjamin Benedict, producer and managing director of UFA Fiction: “The continuing enthusiastic response shows us that our joint concept of finally focusing on the 1950s in Germany as a fascinating and hitherto surprisingly little-told period and – another first – telling the story from the women’s perspective has worked. […] Annette Hess picks up the threads of the first three parts and weaves them into a gripping sequel that tells the story of the Schöllack family in an exciting and highly emotional way.”
