content

A total of 39 episodes (in three seasons of 13 episodes each) about the family life of the Schefers with problems from the professional environment of the father, mother, the children's first love and their later professions were broadcast.

First season

At the beginning of the series, the Schefer family moved from Dobersdorf near Kiel to Bremen. Head of the family Wolfgang Schefer is to be promoted to sea captain and take over the command of the (fictitious) naval base in Bremen. The four children Felix, Jenny, Moritz and Alexander have to settle in a new city and a new school. In addition, they have to cope with the fact that their mother Sybille will now teach music at the children's school. The household is - reluctantly - supported by Wolfgang's mother Lisbeth, who also has a number of other obligations, for example her Canasta Club. However, Grandma Lisbeth is all the more pleased to have her favorite grandson - the diabetic Moritz - close by again, with whom she quickly does good business.

Second season

After Felix graduated from high school, he started doing community service . Jenny's pregnancy can now be clearly seen, and she is looking for an apartment with Thomas Brenner. The teacher “Schnulli” Bockmann proves to be the savior in need, and he makes part of his house available to the young couple. Moritz's popularity at school rose suddenly after his talent for making money by speculating on the stock market turned out to be a gold mine for teachers and classmates - only the parents were the last to notice. When the whole thing is discovered, Moritz is sent to England without further ado . Meanwhile, dark clouds are brewing in the Schefer's sky after Sybille unexpectedly stumbles over Felix's father Johannes Immermann again - to the chagrin of the jealous Wolfgang. Ultimately, the victim of these problems is Alexander, who quickly fled with his friend Johannes.

Third season

The first episode is entitled "Five Years Later" . Jenny's son Philipp is now in kindergarten , his mother is studying dentistry in Berlin and Felix has just completed his theology degree in Tübingen . Alexander has to leave the Gustav-Heinemann-Gymnasium after he accidentally blew up the chemistry hall, which in turn killed the family dog ​​Anton. Moritz and Benita live in Paris , while Wolfgang and Sybille now have separate apartments and new partners. But some unexpected events bring the Schefers back together faster than expected, and in the end they live together again under one roof.
