Media Control, Media analysis organization in Baden-Baden, Germany.
Media Control is a media statistics company in Baden-Baden, Germany, that collects sales data from thousands of retail stores across the country and turns it into official rankings. These rankings cover music, books, and other entertainment media and are widely used by the German industry.
The company started publishing music charts in West Germany in 1959 through a trade magazine called Der Musikmarkt. Decades later, in 1991, it moved its headquarters to Baden-Baden, where it has been based ever since.
The Deutsche Medienpreis award ceremony brings together influential editors from German media outlets to recognize individuals who shape society through media initiatives.
The office is located in central Baden-Baden and can be contacted for general inquiries about the company's work. This is not a public visitor site, so reaching out in advance is a good idea before any visit.
Each year, Media Control organizes the Deutsche Medienpreis, an award given to figures who have shaped society through their work in media. The trophy itself is a sculpture made by the Staatliche Majolika-Manufaktur in Karlsruhe and mounted on a base of Brazilian marble.
