Neues aus Büttenwarder is a German TV Series which aired from 1997 to 2021 and was created by Norbert Eberlein. The comedy series with Jan Fedder and Peter Heinrich Brix portrays events in the fictional village of Büttenwarder in Schleswig-Holstein. Fedder died of cancer in 2019. After his death, three more episodes were filmed, after which the series was discontinued in 2021.
Plot[]
The two main characters are played by Jan Fedder (Kurt Brakelmann; until 2019) and Peter Heinrich Brix (Arthur „Adsche“ Tönnsen). Both were previously well known from the TV series Großstadtrevier. Further characters are played by (as Mayor Dr. Waldemar Schönbiehl; until 2015), (as pub landlord Shorty) and (as stable boy Kuno).
The series is filmed in the Stormarn district of Schleswig-Holstein and in the local area. The pub which features heavily in the series – Unter den Linden (also known as Dorfkrug) – is in Grönwohld. When the pub is not being used for filming it is open to the public and also serves ‘’Lütt un Lütt’’ (direct translation ‘’Small and Small’’ – a beer and a schnapps) which is a much loved (and often mentioned) drink in the series.
The 25 minute long episodes are usually concerned with the friendship between Brakelmann and Adsche who often try to outdo each other usually in the pursuit of quick money making opportunities. However, the friends always support each other in difficult situations.
