Gladbeck is a 2018 German two-part television drama, which was directed by Kilian Riedhof and produced by Ziegler Film from scripts by Holger Karsten Schmidt. The story centers on the Gladbeck hostage situation in August 1988, which became known throughout Germany, and was first broadcast on Das Erste on March 7 and 8, 2018. On August 16, 1988, Dieter Degowski and Hans-Jürgen Rösner rob a bank. With Rösner's girlfriend Marion Löblich, now an accomplice, they hijack a bus a short time later in Bremen. Afterward, a hostage situation develops that will keep the whole of Germany on tenterhooks for three days because this is the first time that the public has witnessed such a crime up close. Television and radio reporters are on the scene and transgress moral boundaries in their hunt for live, up-close coverage and the best pictures. They are right there with the perpetrators and their hostages, even talking to them. The criminals become media stars. Meanwhile, it becomes increasingly difficult for the police to coordinate further action. In their attempt to stop the hostage-takers, the authorities make more and more wrong decisions.
The following weapons were used in the film Gladbeck:
Hans-Jürgen Rösner (Sascha A. Geršak) uses a Colt Government Model as his personal firearm which the real Rösner actually used during the Gladbeck hostage crisis.
Degowski's revolver changes constantly to what appears to be a Colt Detective Special revolver with a three-inch barrel, shrouded ejector rod, and ramp front sight.
A policeman in Gladbeck is seen with a Heckler & Koch MP5A2 with a straight waffle-style magazine. This configuration is also briefly seen used by a Dutch police officer. Some MP5A2s with curved magazines are wielded by German police officers at the end.
