Berlin / Potsdam – Kirsten Niehuus and Helge Jürgens will remain Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg’s general management duo for another 5 years. This was resolved by the supervisory board at its meeting in December.
Berlin’s ruling mayor Michael Müller and Brandenburg’s minister president Dr. Dietmar Woidke: "Berlin-Brandenburg is Germany’s prime location for films, high-end series and new media.
