Leitner family

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Leitner family was a monthly impromptu television series of the Austrian radio based on the model of the popular radio play series Die Radiofamilie (1952–1960, developed by the "Rot-Weiß-Rot" station ). It was first broadcast on September 28, 1958.

In 100 episodes of 30 minutes each until 1967, Austria's first television soap opera portrayed the weal and woe of a middle-class Viennese middle-class family in the 1950s and 1960s. Erich Neuberg as producer, Hans Schubert and later Fritz Eckhardt as author and Otto Schenk as director, supported by actors who were well known at the time, created a picture of the time.

31 episodes were also broadcast in Germany ; these episodes were from 1959 to 1961 and 1963 to 1967.

The series Die liebe Familie , which was also produced in impromptu format and was shown on ORF on Saturdays at 5 p.m. from 1980 to 1993, can be described as the legitimate successor .
