It centers around German politician Detlev Karsten Rohwedder, head of the Treuhandanstalt responsible for the privatisation of state-owned property in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), who was assassinated at his home in Düsseldorf on April 1, 1991. His murder has not been solved until today. The four-part "Rohwedder" is Netflix's first German documentary. In the style of a true-crime series, it tells of the fractures and upheavals of German unity - gripping, opinionated and haunting. This docu-series analyzes the 1991 murder of politician Detlev Rohwedder - an unsolved crime that shook a reunified Germany. First aired in 2020 on Netflix.

"Rohwedder" tells of the fractures and upheavals of German unity - gripping, opinionated and haunting. Groundbreaking new insights are not to be expected when Netflix now presents "Rohwedder - Einigkeit und Mord und Freiheit," its first documentary series produced in Germany. Various non-fiction books, crime thrillers and TV productions have already circled the case, and the trail of the perpetrators has finally been lost in the darkness of history. In the four-part series, one of the investigators involved calls the crime a "perfect crime." It's possible that's why Netflix took an interest in the case. The streaming company has a number of true-crime formats in its program. (Source: Spiegel)
