Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

West Germany's 1970s Western obsession stemmed partly from Karl May's wildly popular 19th-century frontier novels—this show was basically national fanfiction.

Trivia

With 155 episodes in a single season, this outpaced even American Western series production rates—apparently Germans do not mess around with their guilty pleasures.
