Trivia:

Konstantin Wecker composed many different themes for this mini-series but none of them sounded "happy" enough for Helmut Dietl. One day Dietl called Wecker and said that he would need the theme immediately, so Wecker made up a tune on the spot and whistled it to Dietl over the phone. The director liked it the song so much that he used it as the theme for the series.
