"We are a very special house community. We have been through so much together," says actress Marie-Luise Marjan (79) as Helga Beimer in the very last episode (March 29) of the cult series "Lindenstrasse" (1985-2020, the first) . True – and also in "Auf Wiedersehen" (episode 1758) there was, in addition to a lot of drama and great reconciliation, another lavish party in the Acropolis: Mutter Beimer's 80th birthday – she also deserved the last scene.
And how did the fans get the grand finale? "How Mother Beimer just walked her street and made peace with Anna today was just heartbreaking !!!", writes a follower on Facebook under the farewell post of Hans W. Geißendörfer (78) – inventor, longtime director and producer the series – to a photo in which he can be seen from behind as he looks down "Lindenstrasse" again in the evening. His comment on the photo: "Goodbye." And a blue heart.
Mourning for "Favorite Neighbors"
Many other fans also post their farewell pain. "After 35 years, it's good-bye dear Lindenstrasse. What a sad event! The last few weeks have been like a long hangman meal … to see the series say goodbye week by week has broken my fan heart. Bye bye to our favorite neighbors is difficult … I say thank you for all the good years.
"I'm sooo sad (…) Lindenstrasse was an important part of Sunday. Thank you for wonderful hours with the Beimer and Co family," says another comment. Or: "I had resolved not to cry, unfortunately it didn't work. Thanks to all contributors from Lindenstraße and that you stayed with us for so long. Wish you all the best for the future and hope you can see someone or other. " Or: "I didn't want to cry, but unfortunately it stayed with the resolution. Thank you for the many wonderful years. But one question remains: What am I going to do on Sundays from 6:50 pm to 7:20 pm?"
A piece of childhood
Countless comments also deal with the childhood memories that many associate with the series. "Part of my childhood died … Thanks for the good years …", writes a follower. Another: "Thank you for this nice farewell! I have always looked with my grandma for many years. With the end of the series today, there is also a piece of childhood. But I will always keep this piece of childhood in good memory. All the best for the whole Ensemble and the crew! "
Praise for the content
The content of some of the comments also says: "35 years .. there I was 20 .. I did not see it regularly, sometimes it touched, excited, annoyed, bored, it was more often to laugh .. it was like being right Life .. 35 years ". Or: "Thank you for the many wonderful years and the always lovingly critical view of society!" Or: "Thank you for the great quality and the political impetus – the Lindenstraße will be missing!"
Sunday without "Lindenstrasse"
"Lindenstrasse" has been running almost every Sunday evening since 1985. "Without you, Sunday will not be what it used to be," wrote one fan. Another: "Unimaginable … never again Lindenstrasse … I was there from the first episode." Or: "Sunday and Lindenstrasse was one … too bad".
