Großstadtrevier" is a cult series among German television series. Created in 1984 by the legendary crime thriller director Jürgen Roland and produced by Studio Hamburg ever since, it has been telling the story of small fish and big sharks and the everyday life of a police station in St. Pauli for 512 episodes in 37 seasons.
. The head of the police department, Ms. Küppers, and her team take to the stage of the St. Pauli Theater, but not just to tell another episode of "Großstadtrevier":
Early in the morning somewhere in Hamburg: the series ensemble meets for a photo shoot before filming begins. But the door of the mask mobile is jammed - and suddenly everyone is locked inside. While a persistent fan outside demands "Jan's" return - and thus reminds us once again of the most famous member of the ensemble - with the threat that otherwise there will be no cake and no escape, a wonderfully absurd, funny and melancholy round dance about acting, series mechanics, text anxiety, fans, early colleagues, old heroes, friendship - and the big drama behind the small television picture - begins inside.
"Ein Stück Großstadtrevier" is a "theatumentary" between comedy, intimate play and real-life madness, full of the finest wit and a dash of mutiny. And so the audience has the pleasure of seeing its familiar heroes live, in a completely different way and from a completely new angle.
As a special highlight, the ensemble has invited various Hamburg musicians to present their very own version of the famous truck stop hit about the "Großstadtrevier" at the end of the evening.
