Christoph Maria Herbst Returns as Stromberg With Strong Start in German Cinemas

The movie uses a TV reunion conceit to test an old cult character against new norms.

Overview

  • BILD reports an opening of 217,067 admissions for “Stromberg – Wieder alles wie immer,” placing it behind only “Zoomania 2” in Germany during the same frame.
  • The film reunites the original ensemble within a televised reunion setting, bringing the characters back together without revisiting the old office status quo.
  • Critics highlight a generational clash as a central theme, with reviews noting commentary on what was once tolerated at work versus what is now off-limits.
  • A fan-based review in DerWesten says the sequel shifts away from the series’ drab office feel toward sleeker venues and broader social critique, which may surprise long-time devotees.
  • Herbst is actively promoting the release, says his wife is an enthusiastic Stromberg fan, shares light personal anecdotes in interviews, and tells BILD he does not rule out future appearances.
