action

The main character in the series is Viktor Reimann, a railroad worker with heart and soul who first works as deputy manager and then as manager of Hamburg's main train station . While he is sometimes too headstrong among superiors , he is very popular with railroaders because he can understand their problems well. But his marriage to the bookseller Margot suffers from the occupation, since his wife's workaholism can hardly endure her husband. And so Viktor is more often at Ruth Gehrke's snack stand than at home to talk about his daily anger.

Because there is always something going on at the Hamburger Bahnhof: a former train driver cannot deal with the experience of a suicide, instead of a designer’s fashion collection, a box with plastic castings suddenly appears on the platform, Viktor manages to save a drug addict from death, right? a retired couple tries cheap tricks to drive black to Munich.
