You may have seen or will someday see the TV romantic war drama "Dresden," which was produced in 2006 for ZDF by the German company teamWorx Television & Film GmbH, but you certainly do not know that the sets of Dresden's buildings from 1945 were made from FERMACELL materials!
How did this happen? Representatives from teamWorx were looking for a construction technology for the sets that could withstand a fire load of 3x5 minutes of filming without significant damage to the material and structure. Moreover, the materials had to be affordable (every TV and film production saves!) and allow for a quick and historically accurate recreation of the sets of historical buildings in Dresden. The objects had to be built quickly, but the materials used also had to allow for the processing of façade details. Initially, the filmmakers used other materials, but they did not meet the aforementioned fire requirements. After successful trials with our materials, the teamWorx production had the entire sets built in Oberhausen using FERMACELL based on wooden construction.
If you are interested in the story of the film, it is about two young people who stood on opposite sides, but despite this, managed to find a way to each other. The romantic relationship unfolds against the backdrop of the most devastating bombing raid of World War II - between February 13 and 15, 1945, the British and American air forces managed to raze the city to the ground during three strategically planned raids. Just before the raid itself, a British reconnaissance plane is shot down, and the injured pilot Robert manages to escape and hide in the basement of a Dresden hospital, where he is discovered by a young German nurse, Anna. The raid is set to begin in just a few hours…
The film brilliantly and incredibly impressively captures the entire raid on the city, and the movie is definitely worth watching - not just because of the resilience of FERMACELL materials!
