Content

The first 26 episodes were broadcast, from January 1969. A second season of 26 episodes also launched in October 1970 with great success. The last episode was aired in January 1972.

The cases are mostly original and idealize " the good old days " of the Kingdom of Bavaria before 1914 under the regency of the popular Prince Regent Luitpold. The author Georg Lohmeier itself has long been a supporter of the reintroduction of the monarchy in Bavaria. Special hallmark of the series is always schnupfende magistrate August bull hammer ( in the episode " The pain and suffering " he called Benedict bull villages ), the sets can be strange and cunning methods of litigation to the day. He is played by Hans Baur, who is known among other things as the narrator in the audio plays Otfried Preußler.

The series helped some already known in their homeland, Bavaria actors like Gustl Bayrhammer to the nationwide breakthrough and is repeated at irregular intervals in the Bavarian television for the first showing on ZDF.

The first scene of the header shows a photograph of Teisendorf. The author Lohmeier is briefly seen in the opening credits as a priest before the collegiate running. The cattle market was turned on Rupertusplatz in Laufen. The to be seen in the opening District Court building does not exist as such, it involves the town hall of the town Salzach Tittmoning with the marketplace. Especially " perceptive " viewers can discover in a setting a Ford Taunus P5 ( 1964-67 ) next to the market well.

The text of the preamble, which was spoken by Gustl Bayrhammer, reads: "It was a love time, the good old days before anno 14 In Bavaria the same at all. At that time the Lord has His Royal Highness the Prince Regent ruled, is an art loving monarch, for the king was moody. The beer was still dark, people war'n typical, the boys edged, the dirndl modest and the dignitaries it a bit posh and a little bit casual. It was just much ok then. Because for order and tranquility caused the police and the justice of the Royal district court. "

The end credits is once again the distinctive voice Gustl Bayrhammers heard. As he says: " Life goes on, whether acquittal or a penitentiary, in the good old days - and on the Guillotin ', our old gentleman Council eh no one sent ... A love time, despite the incidents - human halt. And that's why it always comes back to these scenes -. District Court in Royal Bavarian "

Often, the bailiff has the Lord Ökonomierat, Guts and brewery owner Joseph Fäustl visit in the restaurant to ask him for a witness statement in court. He hits the plump, old Ökonomierat then usually in a lush and beery sausage or roast buffet at. It sometimes afford him some of the local notables society. The long, skinny and always hungry bailiff then often gets a snack and beer donated and remains the same sit there while the Lord condescended Ökonomierat very leisurely into the court building or not. If it occurs in court, so mostly as a " deus ex machina ": His witnesses contribution then acts as a key for the amicable settlement of the dispute.

The plot of the courtroom scenes follows a recurring pattern. After the initial excitement and high boiling emotions on the dock and in the audience dissolves under the strict, sometimes winking negotiation of the experienced chairman due to a " shoot" everything will be gone on. Most after one or the other vertigo is blown. Immediately afterwards you can tolerate again, everything was not meant as evil and tempers have long since calmed down.

Lohmeier painted in " Royal Bavarian district court " a sometimes heavily oversubscribed, ironic social and landscape; Stereotypes are operated by plentiful. The claim his stern magistrate court everyone was equal, is not the practice: For example, a "Lord" and representatives of local money power may like the Ökonomierat Fäustl afford a court to order or not; he can come whenever he wants, and also to speak when he pleases. The gentlemen may say calmly what they have to say without them the word is truncated. Moreover, their statements will frequently be more weight; they are usually crucial. In contrast, the " common people " may take out little or nothing, they are grouses by the chairman at every little occasion like schoolboys and rebuked, yes shouted down. That may seem understandable, because these people are often created as a simple-minded, vulgar and uncouth characters.
