SHPG invests in High-End Formats with Start-Up

The Studio Hamburg Production Group has won Simone Höller and wants to implement high-end formats with a start-up. The company’s headquarters will be in Cologne.

An independent start-up for the production of high-end formats, signature series and series, as well as high-quality films, has been founded by the Studio Hamburg Production Group to strengthen its activities in the fictional sector: The new 307 production is located in Cologne, with Simone Höller leading the business.

She is, as Michael Lehmann, the chairman of the Studio Hamburg Production Group, calls it, “the perfect addition” in the fictional sector. “We are very pleased that we have succeeded in winning her as managing director for the new company in Cologne, a producer who is versatile, content-savvy, and well-connected,” Lehmann said. Höller remembers him, in a press statement, approaching her with great openness and positive energy.

“Through the collaboration with him under the umbrella of SHPG, excellent opportunities arise for 307 production. Exploring these opportunities in my new position—with a great team by my side—is an exciting challenge,” says Höller, who once studied history, political science, German studies, and philosophy in Aachen and Cologne.

The television producer is responsible for multiple award-winning productions such as “Das weiße Kaninchen” from SWR, “Eine gute Mutter” (NDR/ARD Degeto), “Weil du mir gehörst” (SWR), or “Sterben ist auch keine Lösung” (ARD Degeto). She recently directed the upcoming film “Ramstein” (SWR), one of the fictional highlights of ARD in the second half of 2022.
