action

The neat Julia Heininger , head of department at Bayernbank's headquarters in Munich, is given the task of managing the bank branch in Hamburg . At first she is not enthusiastic about the proposal, because behind this assignment to the far north she is her Bavarian opponent Dr. Ralf-Maria Sagerer suspects. But after many board members have little confidence in a woman as a bank director and Dr. Sagerer continues to raise the mood against Julia, the Munich headquarters sends Julias arch enemy personally to Hamburg to slow down Julia's “alternative” projects a little.

Julia moves with her 12-year-old son Maxl and her resolute housekeeper Fanny into an Art Nouveau terraced house in Hamburg-Winterhude . The delicatessen dealer Alfred Haack , who everyone calls "Vadder Haack" in local fashion, lives in the neighborhood . The sociable mid-sixties will soon be part of the family, and he is especially close to Fanny.

The fate of the two takes its course and Julia has to realize that Ralf is actually a very smart guy. Despite Ralf's Italian friend Beatrice and many misunderstandings, the two soon get closer. The charming private banker Thaddäus van Daalen , who finally wants to get his headstrong son Hendrik under the hood , also plays an important role . He would have liked to win Julia's heart, but only wins their friendship. In Beatrice he finally finds the woman for life.

Julia's relationship with the bank management couldn't be better: Director Bernhard Schwaiger ( Hans Reiser ) married Julia's mother Hermine , who runs a beautiful hotel on Lake Tegernsee, soon after the death of his wife . It would be her greatest wish if Julia would one day succeed her. Her house servant Toni ( Max Grießer ), who carries the guests in the carriage, is a loyal friend and advisor to her. Father Rochus ( Willy Harlander ) maintains a hermitage on the heights of the mountains ; the Heiningers always seek him out when something is on their minds.

The affable Kuno Grameier ( Toni Berger ), also a (head) Bavarian far from home, the bustling secretary Ms. Heise ( Karin Rasenack ) and the discreet and traditional porter Löhlein operate in the bank . You are loyal to the newcomers. A frequent guest at the Sagerer-Heininger house is Sascha , Ralf's light-blooded brother, who makes his way as a life artist in Hamburg. Like his brother, he is a passionate motorcyclist.

Again and again, the family ends up in the Bavarian mountains, the second major location in the series, where Van Daalen senior goes to Hermione's care after his retirement from business life. After Director Schwaiger's retirement, the ambitious and wet researcher Dr. Fiedler ( Sky du Mont ) the scepter in the Munich headquarters. Julia, who, as a fighter for the interests of small people, places humanity before the pursuit of merit, after a few courageous solo efforts and various differences of opinion with Dr. Fiedler soon became self-employed. Her successor will be the distinctive manager Dr. Kaulbach ( Eva Kryll ), with whom Julia gets along very well after initial distrust.

There is a lot of trouble with Ralf's birth certificate: He was born in Czechoslovakia and without papers there is no wedding. Thanks to Sascha's poor knowledge of Czech and severe bureaucratic obstacles, it has to be postponed several times. Soon there will be offspring: daughter Marie-Therese makes Ralf a proud father for the first time. A skiing holiday with an unexpected twist, a special kind of California trip and many entanglements with bank customers keep the television family on their toes.
