Munich is the epicenter of the entertainment and media industry in Germany with ties to television, film, music and media. It’s the home to major media corporations with recognizable names like Bavaria Film, Constantin Film, and ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE. These industry giants spearhead the production of diverse content, ranging from feature films and television shows to insightful news coverage and sports broadcasts. Munich’s strengths extend beyond the realm of film and television as it nurtures a thriving music scene populated with prominent record labels and music festivals. The city’s cultural tapestry is further enriched by its dynamic theater and opera scene. Bavaria is widely considered to be Germany’s numero uno media location as 23 of the top 100 companies in the German media sector hail from the region. Bavaria’s media landscape flourishes against the backdrop of unparalleled infrastructure and a wealth of potential partnerships spanning audio-visual, print, and online media realms. The success story of Bavaria’s entertainment industry is best reflected in its revenue. Munich’s information, communications and media sectors generate EUR 70 billion per year. This success is fueled by a robust talent pool, nurtured by exemplary media education and training institutes such as MedienCampus Bayern e.V. Munich’s prominence as a media juggernaut is further underscored by its notable achievements: it shares the title of Germany's top television location with Cologne, ranks as the country's second-largest hub for newspapers and magazines, and hosts 40 percent of Germany's largest production companies for advertising videos. Additionally, the city boasts 14 institutions dedicated to media education and training, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development. The support for entertainment, media and creativity is quite generous as filmmakers can easily rely on financial mechanisms. FilmFernsehFonds Bayern, one of Germany’s most successful film funding organizations, provides vital financial backing to fuel the growth of the film and media industries.
