Mieten, Kaufen, Wohnen (April 2011)
German television channel VOX explores villas with Birgit Unger: In exclusive regions where second homes are in high demand—a category that has long included Mallorca—an interior designer is as indispensable to a real estate agent as elves are to Santa Claus. The German television channel VOX demonstrated this once again on April 13th in its highly successful program, "Mieten, Kaufen, Wohnen" ("Rent, Buy, Live"). The show, which consistently draws excellent ratings among German viewers, once again shone a spotlight on modern luxury villas in Mallorca. In the episode, real estate agent Marcel Remus presented two premium properties in the island’s sought-after southwest to Birgit Unger, an editor for "Deluxe Mallorca."
Mieten, Kaufen, Wohnen (Dezember 2010)

The show offers the audience an insight into the local real estate market, which differs significantly from the one in Germany. The southwest of the island is particularly sought after—most notably Puerto Andratx and Sol de Mallorca. These are the very locations that Birgit Unger, publisher of the magazine "Deluxe Mallorca," chose when she and Marcel Remus toured two properties for a Mallorca special of the Vox series. The first episodes of the show, produced by the Cologne-based production company Fandango, aired in December 2010.

Amongst the many high-profile guests of the Sanlorenzo presentation was Boris Becker with wife Lilly. Deluxe Mallorca reported about both the yacht and the event.

Presenter Stefanie Wolf interviewed several of the exhibitors as well as Deluxe Mallorca editor Birgit Unger for the TV show ‚Hallo Deutschland‘.
