Hochhausgeschichten

Frank Blumhagen (Jürgen Trott), son of a dentist, first lives with his father in his new apartment. His parents secretly divorced during his military service and present him with a fait accompli. Defiantly, he wants to prove to them that he will do better. He already has a profession, construction fitter, but he lacks experience in the profession, as well as in life in general. He has to settle in completely anew in the company, in the family and among the residents of the new development area. Episode after episode he searches for an attitude to life and finds companions, friends and in the end even the woman for life along the way...

For the realism of the screenplay for 'Hochhausgeschichten' (1981), successful author Gert Billing (see also 'Die lieben Menschen' from 1972) spent several months on the large construction site in Mahrzahn. The scenes on the construction site are among the strengths of the seven-part family series.
