The young Elisabeth "Lisa" Plenske, described as inconspicuous, grows up in the ( fictional ) town of Göberitz near Berlin . Her father Bernd initially worked in the building materials trade, later as the caretaker for the Seidel family. Her mother Helga, initially a housewife, works in the catering of Kerima Moda, a successful fashion company. After a brilliant high school diploma and training as a retail saleswoman, Lisa moved to the big city of Berlin. When she found a job at Kerima Moda after initial difficulties, she initially only attracted attention as a temporary worker in the catering department. The more it bothers the employees that Lisa soon becomes the personal assistant of the new managing director David Seidel. Although at first he hardly recognizes the qualities of his new assistant and sends Lisa from one faux pas to the next, she falls unhappily in love with her superior. Above all, Lisa finds support with her former school friend, the kiosk owner Jürgen Decker, who is at her side with help and advice even in difficult situations. Thanks in no small part to his support, Lisa is steadily gaining self-confidence and finally has a career when she first becomes managing director of subsidiary B.Style and ultimately even majority shareholder and managing director of Kerima Moda.
At the same time, Lisa manages to develop an intimate friendship with David through their mutual business relationship. Eventually he falls in love with her, but is kidnapped by his vengeful half-brother Richard. After being freed from the desperate Lisa, he suffers from a serious trauma that makes a relationship with Lisa seem impossible to him. Instead, he wants to sail around the world. Lisa then gives in to the advertising Robert Konrad "Rokko" Kowalski and wants to marry him too. David wakes up from his trance just in time to realize that he is about to lose Lisa forever and proposes to her as well. But Lisa refuses. She is determined to marry Rokko. On the day of the wedding, however, she hesitates before saying yes. When the ceremony is interrupted by a gunshot and Lisa finds David, apparently shot by Richard von Brahmberg, in front of the church, she realizes that she still loves David. The two can be married immediately. Lisa and David then sail to Tahiti with his boat .

background
Origin and occupation
In love with Berlin is based on an idea from Berlin's Phoenix Film . As early as 2004, Phoenix boss Markus Brunnemann invited those responsible for Sat.1 around managing director Roger Schawinski to a presentation to discuss the potential of telenovelas and their background. Schawinski initially doubted that the melodramatic narrative elements of the South American telenovelas known to him could be transferred to the German-speaking area in view of the minor social conflicts. Brunnemann then presented excerpts from the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea , which had been produced between 1999 and 2001 and which had become an international hit after sales. She told of the outwardly inconspicuous assistant Betty, who falls in love with her attractive boss, of all people , in the unfamiliar fashion world . Sat.1 liked the kitsch-reduced tonality of the original template, whose “mood in a business world experienced as real with bullying , unemployment , careerism and nepotism related to everyday reality”. A little later, Grundy UFA was commissioned with the production of the series and at the same time dedicated to licensing the show, in which the Colombian leaders were supposed to be persistent. Since the literal translation of the original title (I'm Betty, the ugly) Sat.1 was displeased, a new name was also sought for the telenovela. Market research results made everything a clear favorite among the proposals submitted just out of love . Sat.1 then began to advertise the production in the media under the title. However, due to the abbreviation of the title, which is common in fan circles, people later feared embarrassing themselves with ANAL and the mental link to anal intercourse , and so the series was renamed in Love in Berlin shortly before it started broadcasting at the suggestion of an employee .
When casting the main roles, the original actors from Yo soy Betty, la fea were largely taken as models. According to Betty actress Ana María Orozco, the role of Lisa Plenske was looking for an attractive actress who not only had comedic talent , but was also familiar with the industrial production of a daily series and was also an established face on daily soap - Was spectators. The first choice was Alexandra Neldel , who from 1996 to 1999 had a completely different role in the RTL soap Gute Zeiten, Bad Zeiten . In her role, Neldel wore a fat suit as well as glasses, wig and braces. On the other hand, no decision had been made about who would cast the role of David Seidel until the day before shooting began. It wasn't until late in the pre-production that the producers became aware of the hitherto largely unknown Swiss actor Mathis Künzler . In order to be able to engage him, Künzler was flown in via private jet from Zurich during the first weeks of production , where he completed a previously entered theater engagement in accordance with the contract parallel to the shooting.
production
Grundy UFA TV Produktions GmbH and Phoenix Film created around twenty sets for the production in two halls of Studio Berlin Adlershof . Initially, 225 episodes were to be produced there and the telenovela was therefore to be broadcast for one year and ended with a happy ending , as is typical for the genre . As Schawinski later said, Sat.1 missed the timely start of production of the planned successor format Butterflies in the Belly . In order to be able to secure the development of the new program as well as the high market shares at the usual broadcasting time, it was decided to extend Verliebt in Berlin by a further six months to a total of 364 episodes due to the continued success of the format . Alexandra Neldel, who had previously stated that she would not be available for additional episodes, only agreed to continue working on the project after her fee had been increased . Mathis Künzler was only signed again after he had been contractually assured that he would receive an eight-week baby break . To explain his long absence, the authors of the telenovela invented a new storyline in which he was kidnapped in his role as David.
However, the extension of the series prompted the introduction of new characters, including Rokko Kowalski, played by Manuel Cortez , who was the second male lead alongside David to vie for Lisa's favor and to change the originally established network of relationships. The character met with a positive response from both the actors and the audience and Neldel, who had had a tense relationship with Künzler since filming began, liked the idea of an alternative ending. During the negotiations about the extension of the series, she tried to get a contract guarantee that in her role as Lisa she would not marry David in the last episode, but Rokko. Neldel's condition met with criticism from those responsible. In order not to throw up with the actress, however, it was agreed that shortly before the finale, by means of a market analysis, to find out which end the show should have according to the audience. Two alternative versions were filmed for the 90-minute finale broadcast on September 1, 2006 in prime time, one with David and one with Rokko. The commissioned analysis ultimately selected David as Lisa's favorite and later husband. The final episode became a popular success. An average of 7.35 million people watched the film (market share: 25.9%). In the target group, 4.33 million people watched, resulting in a market share of 38.6%.
Three months earlier, in June 2006, it was announced that Verliebt in Berlin would be renewed due to constant success in ratings. Since the successor Butterflies in the Belly had already gone into production at that time, extensive redesigns were undertaken at Sat.1 in order to be able to place both programs in the evening program . Also love with Berlin underwent changes: After departure of Neldel and Künzler Lisa hitherto unknown half-brother a new main character was led by Bruno Lehmann, one. With this combination of lengthening and changing the main character, the production left the classic telenovela concept of a fixed duration and a closed story around a clear protagonist and conceptually moved further in the direction of daily soap . The role was taken over by Tim Sander , who, like Neldel, was already known to the audience for his play in Gute Zeiten, Bad Zeiten between 1998 and 2002, while Julia Malik was the female counterpart . With Neldel's departure for the second season, however, the audience ratings gradually collapsed; after a market share of almost 22% for the initial program, the program recorded only less than 14% in mid-October 2006. The consequence of this development, drawn by the production, towards the beginning of 2007 was the exchange of Malik for Laura Osswald , who had been part of the maincast in the first season and was eliminated at the season finale. Between April and May 2007, Neldel finally made a brief return to the series as Lisa. However, the return of Neldel only brought a brief upswing to an average market share of 14.9% in the advertising-relevant target group of 14 to 49 year olds. By August 2007, 281 more episodes had been produced. The last episode of the telenovela (episode 645) was again broadcast on October 12, 2007.
Merchandising
The broadcast of Verliebt in Berlin was accompanied by a number of diverse merchandising articles, the number of which rose steadily with the commercial success of the show. The start of the telenovela was accompanied by the title song “Liebe ist”, the first single from Nena's 14th studio album, Willst du mit mir gehn (2005). The song was received positively by critics and listeners alike and became a chart success. In Germany, “Liebe ist” was Nena's first number one hit since “ 99 Luftballons ” was released in 1983. In August 2005, Verliebt in Berlin was first published - the magazine , a monthly fan magazine aimed primarily at girls and young women from 14 to 19 years of age and whose subject portfolio included fashion, beauty, lifestyle, backstage news and reports. The publication was published by Cultfish Entertainment, the teenage label of Egmont Ehapa Verlag ; the initial circulation of the magazine was 266,000 copies. For the first season, ten novels, three soundtracks and a PC adventure game also appeared on the market.
18 DVD boxes and specials were also released for the first season at irregular intervals . Furthermore, three Verliebt in Berlin special DVDs with the special programs that were produced during the broadcast break for the 2006 soccer World Cup have been released. After broadcasting the finale in September 2006, Sat.1 decided after enormous pressure from fans to publish the alternative ending in which Lisa Rokko is married. It was released for the first time as a free addition to the Romeo and Juliet project by the two Verliebt-in-Berlin actors Lara-Isabelle Rentinck and Manuel Cortez on October 27, 2006. On December 8, 2006, Verliebt in Berlin - Das Ja- Wort , a SteelBook in the shape of a heart , which, in addition to the two ends intended as a finale, also contains a third, almost four-minute special called the “fun finale”, in which the main character Lisa marries Richard and the disappointed marriage candidates Rokko and David finally join in Pair. The same finale, which Künzler and Cortez thought up themselves and which was supposed to represent a satirical kind of homage to Ang Lee's feature film Brokeback Mountain (2005), was first broadcast on 9Live in 2008 as part of the series repetition . The following DVDs were also released for the second season.
ProSiebenSat.1 Media -intern was Love in Berlin also in a number of in-house programs via crossover - Promotion advertised. Background information and specials on the series were broadcast in the tabloid magazine Blitz and on Sat.1 breakfast television. In October 2005 the fashion brand B.Style , which initially only existed fictitiously in the series, was presented for the first time at the YOU youth fair in Berlin. In the following, B.Style could be found as part of its own collection in Colloseum stores in Germany. After the series was canceled, the story of the main characters could also be followed up in the form of diary entries and fictional emails on the Verliebt in Berlin website .
International charisma
From January 2006, the private Hungarian television station TV2 broadcast a dubbed version of the German version under the title Lisa csak egy van . The largest French television station TF1 , the Belgian RTL TVI and the French-speaking Swiss television TSR also broadcast a dubbed version entitled Le destin de Lisa / Le destin de Bruno . In Slovakia , the series with the name Zamilovaná v Berlíne was broadcast on TV JOJ .

Reviews
At the start of the series, the telenovela received mixed reviews. Der Spiegel found that the production used a “tried and tested recipe”: “In the course of the more than 200 episodes, Alexandra Neldel alias Lisa Plenske from the Brandenburg province is allowed to settle in Berlin, take off braces, glasses and excess pounds and presumably the fashion prince David Seidel sink into your arms. Meaningful looks announce it in the first episode. After all: Instead of Latin drama, there is occasionally something to laugh about in the German version. ” Stern judged that the chosen slot was especially perfect for fans of previous evening series and Verliebt in Berlin “ exactly in the gap between the earlier Neldel projects Berlin, Berlin and good times, bad times ”. The magazine particularly emphasized Neldel's presentation: "So there is nothing to prevent the clumsy Lisa Plenske stealing herself into the hearts of the audience with her touching, naive charm and - despite her braces - irresistible smile."
Quotemeter.de wrote at the start of the second season: “The new Verliebt in Berlin is surprisingly new, although not much has been changed […] When Tim Sander joins the show as the new lead on Monday, Verliebt in Berlin will be very funny. Because Bruno is a clumsy man, many mishaps happen to him, which makes the viewer laugh. The production company has created a healthy mix for this: Situation comedy ( sitcom ) is used, slapstick and Bruno's own when he makes fun of others. "
spectator
According to a study commissioned by Sat.1 and carried out by TNS Emnid in mid-2005 among 4,300 people, almost three quarters of all regular viewers are women and between 14 and 49 years old. The level of education and income are rather low, which is mainly due to the relatively young audience.
Fans of Verliebt in Berlin are passionate and optimistic; Fashion and lifestyle are overrated. In contrast, the majority of people reject rational values; critical thinking is “rather alien” to the viewers of the study. Due to the central position of Kerima Moda , fans are often stimulated to discussions about fashionable things; When shopping you often spend more than you planned. Compared to regular viewers of similar television formats, it can be seen that in love with Berlin fans differ significantly in their values. The greatest similarities are to be seen with the Good Times, Bad Times Seers; But in love with Berlin fans are even more lusty.
A large number of viewers like to meet in groups to watch the telenovela; watching TV is thus a daily ritual with a social character. The success of the first season of the telenovela was explained by the study about the great potential for identification with Lisa Plenske - the viewers clearly resemble the main character in some aspects.
Verliebt in Berlin is interesting for advertisers , as a significantly above-average number of viewers like to watch advertisements and can also be influenced by advertising tips. TNS Emnid concludes from the study for the product areas of perfume, fashion, confectionery and body care that the regular viewers are particularly open to advertising messages.
Awards
In 2005, the telenovela won the German Television Award in the Best Daily Series category . In the following year she received the Golden Rose at the Rose d'Or - in the Soap category . Alexandra Neldel also received the Golden Rose in the Soap Actress category .
Locations
Kerima Moda
Kerima Moda appears for the first time in episode 1 of Verliebt in Berlin . The company is the central building in the series. All the main actors work there or at least have something to do with the fashion company. For the backdrop of the lobby, the studio was specially built so that the camera can rotate 360 °. There are many work areas or entrances to offices in the lobby:
- The reception: The reception appears for the first time in episode 1 when Lisa introduces herself as an applicant for the assistant position. The reception is a desk that is located close to the elevators. In season 1 the reception was led by Sabrina Hofmann, in the following season by Doreen Vogel. Ariane Sommerstädt was also employed at reception as a substitute.
- The catering: The catering is also located in the Kerima Moda lobby. It appears for the first time in episode 1 when Lisa supposedly introduces herself there as an assistant.

After Agnes' departure, Helga Plenske took over.
- The Atelier: The Atelier is the creative area at Kerima. It first appeared in episode 8. The studio is not a separate room; it is only separated from the lobby by a curtain. Hugo Haas is mainly in charge of the atelier. Hannah Refrath and Nora Lindbergh also worked there as designers.
- The catwalk: There is also a small catwalk in the lobby, which is mainly used for private fashion shows for boutique buyers. The catwalk first appeared in episode 1, when Hugo was looking at models for the upcoming fashion show.
- Managing Director's Office: Through the lobby, one enters the managing director's office through a door, in front of which the personal assistant's desk is. The office was shown for the first time in episode 1, where David, Friedrich and Richard held a crisis talk. The office is kept in a shade of blue. Initially the office belonged to David Seidel, since season 2 it has been owned by Friedrich. When Kim became the boss, she also had an office, but not this one.
- Deputy Managing Director's Office: Just one corridor away is the assistant managing director's office. The office appeared for the first time in the 6th episode. The manager was initially Richard. After his arrest, Sophie took over the office. The room is held in a dark shade of brown.

- The toilets: The toilets in Kerima are very elegant and pleasant. Unlike in many companies, you can also take a shower in the bathroom and dry your hands with real towels. It is noticeable that the same backdrop was used for the men's and women's toilets, only the towels were blue for the men and purple for the women.
- The fabric store: The fabric store is located with a direct passage behind the studio and all fabrics are stored there. The fabric store leads to Lisa's old office. The set first appeared in the fourth episode, in a scene in which Inka tries to remove a piece of chewing gum from Lisa's buttocks.

After David has recognized her qualifications, she is allowed to move into his anteroom.
- Mariella's office: Mariella's PR office is not located directly in the lobby, but in one of the back corridors. The office is very spacious and has a pink color. After Mariella's departure, it did not appear again, because the new PR head Rokko Kowalski got a new office for his work. The office appeared relatively late; it was used for the first time in episode 68.
- Lisa's office: When Lisa became the majority owner, she got her own office. This was also in the back corridor and was decorated in a warm red-brown tone. Her office was also very spacious. This office first appeared in episode 159.
- Rokko's office: Rokko Kowalski had the office right next to Lisa's for his PR work. So the offices were the same except for the interior.
S-Bahn
The S-Bahn is an important location at ViB. It is not shot in the studio, but in a real S-Bahn. Lisa is always accompanied there when she takes the S-Bahn from Berlin to Göberitz. This first happened in the first episode. Over time, other characters also used the S-Bahn.

Plenske's house and all the rooms there appeared for the first time in episode 1. The Plenskes have lived there for several years. After Lisa moved out after the first season, Bruno moved in with Bernd and Helga.

Locations
Most of the scenes were shot in the studio. When the scene changes, brief glimpses of Berlin streets or buildings are usually shown, but these have no relation to the plot. There are also various real locations such as:
Kerima Moda In the opening credits, the camera pans quickly from a high-rise building on Potsdamer Platz to the right to the Kerima Moda house. In reality the building is at Charlottenstrasse 4 at the corner of Rudi-Dutschke-Strasse.
Plenske's House The Plenske's film house is on the outskirts of Berlin. It is a privately owned residential building.
Villa Seidel The property is shown from the outside very often. Some scenes with the actors were shot in the garden and in the entrance area. It's at Pacelli Allee 19/21. See also list of cultural monuments in Berlin-Dahlem .
Kiosk Jürgens kiosk is supposedly in the immediate vicinity of the Kerima building. The corner house, which is shown in front of almost every kiosk scene, is in Kreuzberg Tempelherrenstrasse 8.
Richard's Loft There is only one exterior shot of the luxurious apartment: In episode 157, David is waiting for Richard on his doorstep. Nothing will come of the planned debate, but at least we know Richard's address: Mauerstrasse 1. The front door is real, but it does not lead into a residential building, but is the side entrance of a café.
Mariella's and David's dream house The magnificent villa is shown regularly from episode 62, always in connection with David's rival Lars. The monument is at Korserstraße 8-12. The many authentic interior shots shown in the series are unique. See also the list of streets and squares in Berlin-Dahlem .
Tiki Bar The outside view of the Tiki Bar was the Riva Bar at Dircksenstrasse 142. The bar is now closed.
Kim's Favorite Flower Shop In episode 42, Kim buys flowers from her favorite flower shop . The shop was at Dircksenstrasse 50, not far from the Tiki Bar.
Mausoleum of the von Brahmbergs In episode 43, Friedrich gives a speech on the day of his business friend's death. The scene was filmed at the tomb of Julius Pintsch in the St. Georgen cemetery in Prenzlauer Berg.
The gallery At a reception in a gallery, Mariella meets the architect Lars van der Lohe in episode 52. The gallery was at Wielandstrasse 26.
The toga party and the hen party In episode 163, Lisa accompanies Richard to a toga party, where she almost falls from the roof terrace and is rescued by Richard at the last second. The scene was filmed on the roof of the E-Werk in Mauerstraße 78-80. The same location was also the location of the bachelorette party in the wedding film.
Lisa's dance on the pole In episode 227, Lisa meets for a first work breakfast with Rokko Kowalski and makes a hot appearance on the dance pole. The exterior shot of the night club shows the "Rattenburg" at Gottlieb-Dunkel-Strasse 19. The building was demolished a little later.
Lisa's orthodontist In the wedding film, Lisa has her braces removed. The location for the orthodontic practice was An den Treptowers 1.
The Church The wedding ceremony in the feature film took place in the village church in Berlin Lübars.
