Ich, Ringo und das Tor zur Welt (2010)

Oliver Schwabe's portrait of Königstein is more than a homage to his services to television. Schwabe approaches his protagonist with his own means, so to speak. That's why some things in this film are fictitious. It is true that Königstein liked to compare himself to Ringo Starr. Connecting elements: The love of music and a big nose. As a leitmotif, this leads back to the beginnings of the Beatles' successes in the 1960s, when Königstein, for his part, began to leave his mark on ARD. The result is a composition of quotations from the film work, supplemented with interviews and excerpts from works with Curt Bois, Annette Humpe, Dennis Hopper, Udo Lindenberg, Rod Stewart, Pete Townshend, Ringo Starr and Frank Zappa. In addition, his docudramas about "public" people such as Inge Meysel, Veit Harlan, Birgit Breuel and "Die Manns" are considered in the context of their impact and their medial repercussions.
