Notarztwagen 7 is a thirteen-part, color-shot television series from 1976 that depicts the contemporary everyday life of an ambulance team in a big city.

content

The emergency ambulance  7 (NAW 7) of the professional fire brigade Frankfurt is moving - at the time of the film production still in the compact system  - from the professional association accident clinic Frankfurt am Main (BGU) u. a. to traffic accidents, domestic accidents but also suicide attempts and is supported by the fire brigade, police and other aid organizations. The rescue teams from NAW 7 around the two Frankfurt emergency doctors Dr. Barbara Kersten and Dr. Günter Brandenberg show their work in emergency medicine in thirteen episodes .

Each episode deals with a different facet of accident rescue and emergency medicine. Not only the rescue and care of the patient is shown, but also the history of the emergency. The viewer is always taught the respective aspect of accident prevention with a slightly raised index finger .

From today's point of view, the rescue service measures shown appear questionable, for example the shock position of a patient with a heart attack and the supine position of the unconscious without endotracheal intubation . However, the care of the patients shows the emergency medical standard of the time.

production

The television series was produced in 1976 by Taunusfilm GmbH on behalf of Hessischer Rundfunk . Directed by Helmuth Ashley , the screenplay was written by Bruno Hampel , who also worked for series such as Der Alte , Tatort and Achtung Zoll! was active. The music for the series was written by Peter Thomas . The shooting took place mainly in and around Wiesbaden and Frankfurt am Main .

In order to save production costs and at the same time to be able to depict the work of the rescue services as authentically as possible, many of the rescue scenes were realistic exercises by the professional fire departments in Frankfurt and Wiesbaden. Except for the two protagonists, the emergency services were real rescue personnel.

The other actors were well-known actors of their time.
