Staffed with a 60% Belgian crew, the 31 shooting days out of 65 took place in Wallonia, Flanders and mainly in Brussels where the city's rich architecture and design heritage provided the perfect setting for many landmark locations from the 1980s. Herrhausen’s Frankfurt Deutsche Bank offices were, for instance, recreated in the Belgian National Bank. In total the Belgian shoot cumulated 25 locations in which over 65 sets were dressed doubling various German locations, but also Washington DC, Moscow, Vienna and Sofia. Herrhausen is a German 12M€ budget co-pro series on the stellar career and tragic death of the Deutsche Bank CEO Alfred Herrhausen in 1989. This truly European story inscribes itself in the last years of the Cold War culminating in the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Led by experienced German producer Gabriella Sperl, the project was destined for a shoot in Germany and South Africa. After a last-minute cancellation of the South Africa shoot, Beside and Belgium saved the planned 6-week shoot just one month prior the start of principal photography in Germany.
