ZDF’s ‘Fernsehgarten’ Finale Airs Pre-Recorded From Völklinger Hütte

The season-ender breaks with the live tradition, prompting complaints from viewers expecting a real-time broadcast.

Overview

  • The Oct. 12 edition is a taped 'Fernsehgarten on tour' produced on Oct. 3 at the Völklinger Hütte in Saarland.
  • ZDF keeps the usual Sunday start at 12:00 with the episode available simultaneously in the free Mediathek stream.
  • The broadcast is shorter than typical live shows, scheduled from 12:00 to 13:55.
  • The announced musical guests include Beatrice Egli, Nicole, Vincent Gross, Brings, Eloy de Jong, Christin Stark, Neonlicht, Daniel Ceylan and Romy Kirsch.
  • Some social media users criticized promotions stating the show was sending from Völklingen, arguing the pre-recorded status should be clearer.
