The individual cases were based on actual events. During the filming, there was a serious accident that resulted in over a hundred broken bones and a nine-hour operation for a stuntman who had crashed a car head-on into a tree.
The series was broadcast in the regional program of West German Broadcasting (WDR), Süddeutscher Rundfunk (SDR) and Südwestfunk (SWF) as well as Bavarian (BR) and North German Broadcasting (NDR).
The first episode of the first season was broadcast on May 2, 1974 on WDR. It then ran differently at weekly intervals, sometimes at 14-day intervals until July 4th. The broadcast dates differ on the crime thriller website and on IMDb . The dates listed at IMDb are mentioned in the episode list. SDR and SWF began broadcasting the first season in November 1976, in BR it ran from June to July 1976. Season 2 ran weekly on SDR and SWF from January 10, 1977, the dates on IMDb correspond to those on the crime website and are listed in the episode list.
One episode of the first season was shown on each broadcast day in two parts, for example on WDR at 6:10 p.m. and 7:20 p.m. Each episode also had two different titles.
