Bild reported on March 18, 2026, that Berlin may deploy a city-wide drone detection system, estimated to cost over €5 million, to enhance protection for mass events, state visits, and important sites. Bild obtained a concept outlining a network of 62 radio sensors covering the city from Lake Wannsee to Müggelsee. Previously, on March 11, Bild teamed up with RTL+ to present "The Reality Awards," which honors the year's reality television highlights. Earlier, on February 3, Bild announced its plans to position the Glücksgefühle Festival 2026, set for September 3-6 at the Hockenheimring and expected to draw up to 250,000 festival-goers, as a high-reach premium advertising platform. This followed a several-month-long investigation by Bild, published on January 30, which uncovered an illegal network allegedly used to evade sanctions and send packages from Europe to Russia, founded by a former employee of a Russian state postal service subsidiary in Germany.
