The comedy series Stromberg ran on ProSieben from 2004 to 2012. Bernd Stromberg heads the claims department M to Z at the fictional Capitol insurance company. German Wikipedia sums up the character: Seine fachliche Kompetenz ist mangelhaft. His professional competence is poor. As a result, he mostly ignores the work instructions he is given, does them badly or passes them on to his staff. In December 2011, one million euros was raised from the public through crowdfunding to make a Stromberg film.
