Thomas Hänni

Thomas Hänni is co-founder of Histovia Film KLG and is responsible for the camera work, video editing and direction of every production. What began in 2023 as a passion for history has grown into a thriving content project with over 16 million views and 52,000 followers on Facebook – built without paid advertising, purely through authentic historical content.

Histovia Film stands for factually researched, documentary-style content – no speculation, no sensationalism. Every reel is based on historical sources and filmed directly on location. Together with Yvonne Stöferle, Thomas travels across Europe to document historical sites, bunkers, museums and memorials.
