Der Staatsanwalt (The Public Prosecutor)
In November, an episode of the successful ZDF series "Der Staatsanwalt" (The Public Prosecutor) was filmed. Filming took place in the cloisters, lay refectory and monks' dormitory, and rooms in the baroque floor were transformed into hotel rooms. "Erfolgreich, glücklich, tot" (Successful, Happy, Dead) is about a motivational coach who ends up dead in Saugraben after a seminar. Marco Assmann, the assistant coach, claims to have seen a gardener on the monastery grounds on the evening of the crime. This gardener turns out to be, of all people, Oliver Speer – jealous husband of seminar participant Nadine Speer….

Tobi's Town Trips: Eltville close up!
Perfect short holidays in Rheingau
The hr3 morning show host meets Jasmin Bähr, who shows him the most mysterious places in Kloster Eberbach. She leads him into the treasury, where, among other things, a wine bottle from 1706 is stored.
In the basilica, Tobi meets Sebastian Macho, who shows him the hidden ossuary where the skeletons of many unknown people are stored. Tobi Kämmerer also finds out what is probably the most unusual and beautiful way to spend the night: he tests a small living sphere that stands in the vineyards near the monastery.
