Overview
- The long-running drama aired episode 1144 on June 16 and then entered its customary summer break, with no new episodes scheduled immediately afterward.
- Das Erste plans to air repeats of In aller Freundschaft beginning July 21 while prime-time slots are reallocated to live sports and special programs.
- Coverage and previews say the June 16 episode centers on a hygiene-related conflict at the Sachsenklinik involving Verwaltungschefin Sarah Marquardt, Gesundheitsdezernentin Antonia Meiler and Dr. Rolf Kaminski.
- A parallel subplot in the same episode follows restaurateur Theo “Teddy” being admitted with a suspected heart attack and a self-baked Persian cake that brings Lisa and Benno closer.
- Broadcasters have not announced an exact restart date for new episodes, with outlets expecting a return in late summer or early autumn as public TV clears space for major live events.
