Plot

The two main characters are played by Jan Fedder (Kurt Brakelmann) and Peter Heinrich Brix (Arthur „Adsche“ Tönnsen). Both were previously well known from the TV series Großstadtrevier. Further characters are played by Günter Kütemeyer ( as Mayor Dr. Waldemar Schönbiehl), Axel Olsson (as pub landlord Shorty) and Sven Walser (as stable boy Kuno).

The series is filmed in the Stormarn district of Schleswig-Holstein and in the local area. The pub which features heavily in the series – Unter den Linden (also known as Dorfkrug) – is in Grönwohld. When the pub is not being used for filming it is open to the public and also serves ‘’Lütt un Lütt’’ (direct translation ‘’Small and Small’’ – a beer and a schnapps) which is a much loved (and often mentioned) drink in the series.

The 25 minute long episodes are usually concerned with the friendship between Brakelmann and Adsche who often try to outdo each other usually in the pursuit of quick money making opportunities. However, the friends always support each other in difficult situations.
