content

The focus is on the Knüppel and Dreier families, who live in the Hamburg district of St. Pauli, not far from the Bismarck monument . Knüppels have problems with their eldest, but still underage daughter, Angelika, who is expecting a child from her friend Frank Dreier, who is currently doing his basic military service. Father Knüppel initially doesn't want to know anything about the child or son-in-law, but since the rest of the family sticks together, it comes to reconciliation in the end and it is Knüppel himself who, as a train driver on the Deutsche Bundesbahn, gives the young couple the departure signal for the young couple's honeymoon.

Frank's parents Berni and Dodo Dreier have completely different concerns. You run a small laundry and see your existence threatened by a laundry center that was opened across the street and is open 24 hours a day. Not only does Dreiers run out of customers, Dodo Dreier also begins a relationship with the Swedish engineer Larsson, who is also responsible for setting up the competing company. But in the end Larsson helps the Dreiers to build a new existence for themselves. Although the threesome get divorced, Dodo continues to live with Berni.

Others

Drawn with a lot of local color, this story also takes place in the milieu of so-called “little people”, as was often the case in Helga Feddersen's scripts, for example in the TV play Sparks in New Greenland or the trilogy about ship's cook Gustav Andresen created between 1968 and 1971 ( Four hours from Elbe 1 , tides and in the fairway ).
