Inside Louisenlund: A New Docuseries on Europe's Elite School
Baden-Baden – November 06, 2026 -- A new documentary series about life at one of Europe's most exclusive boarding schools arrives in the ARD Mediathek on December 29, 2026. "Louisenlund – Das Elite-Internat" follows four students through a full school year, and NDR broadcasts it on January 4, 2027, at 10 p.m.
Four students from very different backgrounds anchor the series
The series tracks Johanna, Florian, Milad and Louisa at Schloss Louisenlund, set directly on the Schlei. More than 300 young people live at the school away from their families, often since early childhood.
Some students come from privileged homes. Others are highly gifted teenagers from financially disadvantaged families who won a place through support programs.
