Each season highlights a German legend in the here and now. We draw on legends that are internationally known beyond Germany's borders and place them in a socially relevant context for our times.

SEASON 1: THE LEGEND OF THE BLOCKSBERG takes viewers to the small town of Königstal at the foot of the Brocken mountain. It is full of strange characters, peculiarities and especially many women who put our understanding of family and trust to a hard test. Years ago, little boys were killed here in a bestial way. To this day, there is a man in prison for this, who claims that he did not commit the murders, but that he hunted down the women responsible, whom he believes to be witches. Every person in Königstal has something to hide and we open up the deepest abysses.
