Dynasties in NRW

The Oetkers

They are one of the most famous and richest German families.
For decades, the Oetkers shied away from the public eye.
For the first time, they break their silence and report in detail on the turbulent and tragic years of the company and the family.

"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.
