New Director of Fiction at WBITVP Germany

Kristina Löbbert has been promoted to director of fiction at Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP) Germany, leading the development, financing and production of the company’s scripted content in the territory.

Löbbert has been with Cologne-based WBITVP since 2023. She has been a producer for more than 20 years and has numerous credits to her name, including the feature film adaptations of the German bestsellers Emma’s Bliss, The Murder Farm and Close to the Horizon. She has held senior positions at companies such as Wueste Film West, Boogiefilm and Pantaflix.

Löbbert will replace Bernd von Fehrn, who is leaving the business for personal reasons. She reports to Rene Jamm, managing director of WBITVP Germany.

Ronald Goes, WBITVP’s president, said: “Kristina has made a significant impact on our business in Germany since joining the team, so we are delighted to promote her to this role; it is most well deserved. She is extremely well-connected, a very skilled producer and has an enviable mix of creative and commercial skills that make her such an asset. We are naturally sorry to see Bernd leave our team—and Cologne—and thank him for the huge contribution he has made over the past few years. As he passes the baton to Kristina, we are excited about the future, continuing to deliver premium scripted projects to leading streamers and broadcasters in the German-speaking world and internationally.”

Löbbert added: “WBITVP Germany quickly felt like home when I joined and while I will miss Bernd, I am grateful to now have this incredible new opportunity. We have a raft of brilliant projects in development and a team that is bursting with new ideas. I am thrilled to now lead this team to the next stage of the company’s development and look forward to growing our reputation and sharing these ideas both within the WBITVP network and with a wide range of local and international partners.”
