Albert goes Heritage!
"Of visionaries and raccoons" - Historical film celebrating Liebherr's 75th anniversary premieres
The time has come! The Albert Coon has unveiled its latest masterpiece: an impressive historical film celebrating 75 years of Liebherr history - full of pioneering spirit, technical masterpieces and a nod to what went on behind the scenes.
Technology meets emotion - the Liebherr way
As part of the anniversary year, the film takes viewers on an exciting journey through the eventful history of the Liebherr Group, which has been setting standards in technology and innovation since 1949. From the first revolutionary tower cranes to ultra-modern construction machinery and refrigerators that revolutionized the kitchen decades ago - Liebherr stands for tradition and progress in perfect balance. The film impressively shows how this unique pioneering spirit has shaped the entire group of companies and is still the driving force behind its innovative solutions today.
But this film is more than just a nostalgic journey through time: With dynamic images, emotional stories and a look at the people behind the machines, the viewer is drawn deep into the world of Liebherr - from its humble beginnings to its impressive visions for the future.
Behind the Scenes: Where raccoons show pioneering spirit
Of course, a production of this caliber cannot do without a few challenges - and a touch of humour. The Albert Coon team laughingly reports of one particularly stubborn "extra": a raccoon who, during filming on the company premises in Kirchdorf an der Iller, decided without further ado to slip into the role of a machine inspector. Whether he signed the filming permit remains unclear, but one thing is certain - his zest for action was entirely in keeping with Liebherr's pioneering spirit.
There were also plenty of other anecdotes during filming. "The biggest challenge?" recalls director Johannes Maierbacher. "Filming a Liebherr excavator in a machine hall so elegantly that it looks like a ballerina - while our lighting crew struggled to stop a raccoon from playing with shadows."
A movie for everyone - and the future
The anniversary film not only shows the company's history, but also the big questions of tomorrow: How can technology and innovation contribute to creating a sustainable future? How can we remain true to our philosophy in a rapidly changing world? With these topics, the film skillfully bridges the gap between tradition and modernity and offers an inspiring perspective - both for Liebherr employees and for technology fans worldwide.
Premiere and publication
The film has already been shown at a festive premiere in the presence of employees, companions and a surprisingly large number of Waschbär fans. "We are proud to tell the story of a company that not only builds machines, but also lives visions," says cameraman Andreas Wolf.
The film can now be viewed on Liebherr's anniversary website and on the Group's social media.
