Career

From 1997 to 2010, she worked for ARD. On behalf of NDR, she filmed a multi-part reportage about a Bulgarian home for disabled girls and women for Weltspiegel from 2000 to 2003. The first report was broadcast in April 2000 on ARD-Weltspiegel under the title Banished, forgotten, deported - The girls of Malko Scharkovo. [6]

This broadcast prompted the regional director of the Landschaftsverband Rheinland (LVR) Ferdinand Esser to make the first foreign commitment of the LVR in its history, which led to the founding of the Verein zur Förderung von Einrichtungen für Behinderte im Ausland e. V., [7] which has since supported the home with financial and material donations. The second part of Inge Bell's report, Bulgaria: The Home for the Disabled at the End of Europe, was broadcast on Weltspiegel in May 2005. [8]

In 2014, Bell joined the management of Kubon & Sagner. [11] In 2016, she founded Bell & Baumgarth GmbH as a holding company with her former business partner and current husband Stefan Baumgarth. Alongside Bell Media GmbH, Bridgehouse Bell GmbH and Biblion Media GmbH, Kubon & Sagner Media GmbH became a wholly owned subsidiary of the holding company. [12] Kubon & Sagner Media GmbH filed for insolvency in 2017. [13] Inge Bell is active in various associations and organisations throughout Europe as a member and speaker on prostitution and human trafficking. [14]
