In January, ARD, German public television, aired Season 3 of the series
Charité, dealing with the history of Berlin’s famed hospital during the Cold War and, specifically, at the time of the building of the Berlin Wall in the early 1960s.
The series was scheduled to be broadcast last year to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the reunification of East and West Germany. Filming was held up, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first season of the series dealt with the institution at the end of the 19th century and Season 2 featured the hospital and its operations under the Nazi regime. The series has attracted millions of viewers across the globe.
