In Germany’s first ever series, which launched in December 1985, the focus lies on the Lindenstraße (Lime Street): a typical street in Munich with its blocks of flats, cafés, an organic foodstore, a supermarket and a restaurant.

The series portrays German reality and accompanies its residents in their everyday lives,- showing the hopes, joys, fears and desires amongst friends, families and neighbours.
