Lindenstraße [SEP] creator
Lindenstraße" is Hans W. Geißendörfer, whose company "Geißendörfer Film- und Fernsehproduktion GmbH" (GFF - "Geißendörfer film and TV productions") still produces the series today. In the beginning, Geißendörfer also directed the series. It is set in Munich, but filmed at the WDR studios in Cologne-Bocklemünd, where an entire outdoor street mock-up of the eponymous Lindenstraße was built. An actual street named 'Lindenstraße' exists in Munich's Harlaching district, but it has nothing to do with the series' fictional
reviews. However, "Lindenstraße" soon became one of the most successful shows on German television.
On 16 November 2018 it was announced that the ARD television programme conference had decided – on cost grounds, despite the programme's continuing to attract between two and three million viewers weekly – not to extend its contract with the show's producers, "Geißendörfer Film- und Fernsehproduktion", and that the series would therefore come to an end, after 35 years, in March 2020.
