Come back! File number XY” live from Germany, Austria and Switzerland!
The well-known manhunt program “Aktenzeichen Radiowuppertal reports that the show will rediscover its roots in the coming period and will be broadcast live on Wednesday evenings in prime time.
The participating broadcasters ZDF from Germany, ORF from Austria and SRF from Switzerland confirmed their cooperation at the 58th co-production conference in Zurich.

A look into the past
Many years ago, live broadcasts to Vienna and Zurich were an integral part of the broadcast. In Austria, Peter Nidetzky (1940-2024) and in Switzerland, Konrad Toenz (1939-2015) was the voice that guided viewers through the falls. The show, which was conceived by Eduard Zimmermann (1929-2009) and was hosted by Rudi Cerne for a long time, has broadcast over 600 episodes since 1967 and has thus gained a loyal audience.
After the separation of ORF and SRF in the early 2000s, the production of such programs fell noticeably. Criminal cases from Switzerland and Austria were only dealt with sporadically. This return will now provide a breath of fresh air and new crime stories.
Expected formats
In the future, viewers can also look forward to new formats such as the crime series “Obersee” with Franziska Weisz. The three channels also plan to continue other popular formats such as “Das Traumschiff” and “Der Bergdoktor”. The topics of the annual co-production conference range from digitalization and changing media use to cultural diversity and shared values.
The security situation and law enforcement in Europe remains a topic for the media - and so “Aktenzeichen XY” will also do its part to clarify the matter. Loud Eurostat Crime data is constantly changing, and viewers can expect exciting educational work.
It remains to be seen how the new episodes will be received by viewers, but there is definitely great anticipation for the return of “Aktenzeichen XY”!
