"Oetker? Of course. Pudding and baking powder!"
It comes like a shot from a gun.
98 percent of Germans know what to do with the name.
Despite the incredible popularity of the Oetkers and their legendary success, hardly anyone knows the history of the family.
Rosely Schweizer (née Oetker), August Oetker and Richard Oetker open up for the first time and do not conceal the dark side of their history: hardly any other industrialist family has had to endure as many heavy blows of fate as the Oetkers.
First broadcast: Monday, November 15, 2010, 9:00 p.m., ARD.
