Our special thanks go to Claudia Dillmann who, during her time as Director of the Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum, pushed the idea of a central internet platform on German cinema and successfully realised it with filmportal.de.

In respectful memory of our colleague and friend Rüdiger Koschnitzki (1944–2012), whose long and profound work on the German Filmography laid the foundation for filmportal.de.
