RTLzwei Sets 12-Hour ‘Wollnys’ Marathon for Jan. 17 to Mark 15 Years

RTLzwei marks the docusoap’s 15-year milestone with a highlights marathon, leaving new episodes unannounced.

Overview

  • On Saturday, January 17, 2026, programming begins at 08:10 and runs for twelve hours featuring highlights from across the series.
  • The anniversary date matches the show’s original premiere on January 17, 2011, when the Wollny family first appeared on RTLzwei.
  • RTLzwei bills the lineup as the “most unforgettable moments” from one and a half decades of the family docu-soap.
  • Silvia Wollny reflects on the early days, recalling how new and exciting it felt to be on camera for the first season.
  • Produced by Yellowstone Productions, the franchise has spawned spin-offs including ‘Die Wollnys 2.0’ and ‘Lecker Schmecker Wollny’, and after a brief return with new episodes in early 2025, none tied to the anniversary have been announced.
