Stefan Aust obtains an injunction against Jan Böhmermann’s “ZDF Magazin Royale”

During the broadcast on November 25, 2022, the “ZDF Magazin Royale” showed a poster that, in the style of the wanted posters from the German Autumn of 1977, showed photos of people who were wanted – only there were no terrorists in the fantasy picture see, but journalists, politicians and comedians. “Die Welt” publisher Stefan Aust has obtained an injunction against the distribution of this poster (MUSIKEXPRESS is a partner of “Die Welt”). ZDF then removed the episode from the media library. (Status 05.01.2023, 4:00 p.m.)

“ZDF Magazin Royale” moderator Jan Böhmermann had also distributed the poster on his Twitter account before the show was broadcast. Christian Lindner, Franca Lehfeldt and Dieter Nuhr were also shown on it. Instead of Aust, a photo of the actor Volker Bruch, who played him in the film “The Baader Meinhof Complex”, was shown. Aust also wrote the non-fiction book of the same name about the Red Army Faction (RAF).

Aust has now obtained an injunction against the ZDF broadcast. Because the person seen on the poster is not Stefan Aust, but this is suggested to the viewers, the dissemination is a violation of personal rights. The Hamburg Higher Regional Court has now followed this argument.

The picture is still online on Böhmermann’s Twitter account.
