Brainpool TV GmbH is a German television production company located in Cologne.
History
It was a subsidiary of VIVA Medien AG between 2001 and 2006, until a management buyout in January 2007, now owned by Banijay. The film Stromberg – The Movie was crowdfunded with €1,000,000 in one week by 3,000 fans in December 2011. 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. However, the Cologne Labor Court deemed some layoffs to be unjustified and thus invalid.
At the beginning of 2019 it was announced that Banijay Germany CEO and shareholder Marcus Wolter had been appointed as the new managing director. In June 2020, Banijay took over the rest of the shares.
