The Grandauers and their time

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 28-part radio play series The Grandauers and Their Times was produced from 1979 and ran from 1980 to 1985 on Bayerischer Rundfunk . It tells a Bavarian family saga in the Munich petty bourgeoisie from 1893 to 1945 .

Originally, the series “The Grandauers and their time” was conceived for three generations of police officers, as Willy Puruckers said in the first radio episodes. However, the radio series ends with the end of the war in 1945. Further planned radio episodes were no longer produced because the main actor Karl Obermayr , who played Ludwig Grandauer and his son Benno Grandauer in the radio series, died.

From 1987 to 1991 the stories about the Grandauer family were filmed for television as a 32-part series with the title Löwengrube . Benno Grandauer is now called Karl Grandauer in the television series in honor of Karl Obermayr. For the 32-part television series he was awarded the Bavarian Television Prize (1991) and the Adolf Grimme Prize in Gold ( 1992 ), among others .
