Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Stars Jürgen Hingsen and Rolf Milser were actual West German Olympic decathletes—this was their acting debut and, mercifully, their finale.

Cultural

Director Sigi Rothemund specialized in 'Kleinbürgerkomödien'—petty bourgeois comedies that dominated West German TV in the 70s-80s before reunification killed the vibe.
