Spiegel-TV is a German television production company and news magazine known for its investigative journalism. It is currently newsworthy due to an attack on its reporting team in Fretterode, a village in Thuringia known for its association with right-wing extremist Thorsten Heise.

This incident has drawn condemnation from Thuringia's Minister President Voigt, highlighting the dangers faced by journalists covering sensitive topics and the ongoing presence of right-wing extremism in certain regions of Germany. The attack underscores the importance of protecting press freedom and ensuring the safety of journalists as they report on critical issues.
