Red climber is the first "official" television series of the GDR, which was produced by director Willi Urbanek, who also wrote the screenplay with Klaus Rümmler, for the German Television (DFF ) 1967.

The series depicted the anti-fascist deployment of a group of Saxon climbers who performed in the years 1933 to 1936 against the Nazi regime resistance. Red climbers rested it on true events (see United climbing department). The series became a ratings-winning force for the DFF.
