Dunkles legacy: ARD thriller around Nebra revealed by Nebra

a mysterious find and its media processing

an uncanny curse or a perfidious crime? These questions arise in connection with a sensational find that is currently in the focus of the ARD thriller "The Dark Legacy". This film, which is partly based on fiction, addresses potential connections between the archaeological find and a current murder case.

The historical object that is about is the famous Himmel disc from Nebra, which was discovered 25 years ago in Saxony-Anhalt. Tracked down by predatory graves, this 3600-year-old disc belongs to a bronze time treasure and offers the oldest known representation of astronomical phenomena.

In the ARD thriller, actors such as Felicitas Woll and Torben Liebnlecht take in the roles of a skeptical daughter and a investigating commissioner. The script by Thomas Sieben fictionalizes historical events and invents new actions and characters. This creates an exciting crime thriller drama under the direction of Ziska Riemann, which is also shot on site in Nebra.

The production of the series lasts until July 22nd and is visually enriched by the image design of Aljoscha Hennig. The exact broadcast date is still pending, but the anticipation for this mysterious and exciting television event remains high with the spectators.
