By June 2013, 156 episodes had been broadcast over eleven seasons.[2] Besides being immensely popular in Germany (with some 7.2 million views per episode), the show is also broadcast daily in Austria,[4] Switzerland,[4] Italy,[4] Hungary,[4] and Denmark.[4]

Plot

edit

Wolfgang Wöller (Fritz Wepper), the popular politician and mayor of the fictitious Lower Bavarian town of Kaltenthal, is afraid of losing support and possible elections due an increase in unemployment. Along with the city council, he falls in love with the idea of bioenergy; determined to put his face and name upon a new, large bioenergy facility that will, hopefully, create economic growth for the town, he needs the support of opposition, who refuse to support the idea as there is no immediate place to put such a facility.

Eventually, his eyes fall upon the local cloisters, a large, old castle which houses only six nuns, but swallows up a huge areal portion of the city. As the nuns, especially Sister Hanna (Janina Hartwig), refuse to even discuss the idea of selling the property, Mr. Wöller takes his ideas to the order's Mother Superior. The Mother Superior is equally opposed to the idea, but agrees that six nuns are not enough for such a huge property. She ultimately reluctantly agrees to sell. Sister Hanna does everything in her power to prevent this, not only going against the mayor, but also the Mother Superior.

Christmas-Specials

edit

Until 2014 four feature-length Christmas specials of Um Himmels Willen were produced.

Um Himmels Willen — Weihnachten in Kaltenthal

edit

(English: Christmas at Kaltenthal, first aired: 23 December 2008) Just before Christmas mayor Wöller receives an invitation from the Vatican, he asks sister Hanna to accompany him. In Rome it turns out that the invitation was not for a private audience with the pope, but for an event at St. Peter's Basilica. Wöller and Hanna are disappointed and want to travel back to Germany straightaway, but a general strike bars them from this. Meanwhile, the other nuns of Kaltenthal are preparing the yearly children's Christmas party, and mother superior Elisabeth Reuter gets a surprising visit from her predecessor.

Um Himmels Willen — Weihnachten unter Palmen

edit

(English: Christmas under palms, first aired: 25 December 2010) Mayor Wöller wants to escape from the Christmas confusion by booking a Mediterranean cruise. Hardly on board he gets shocked, because sisters Hanna, Agnes and Felicitas from cloister Kaltenthal are on the same ship. They received the crusade as a gift, and have in mind to collect donations for a Kaltenthal family in need underway. The nuns meet Felix, son of the ship's owner Max Brockmann. The boy lost his mother by an auto accident and become friends with the crew member Ursula Henning. This not sits well with the boy's father, and he fires Ursula. When Ursula gets of board at Teneriffa, Felix tries to run after her, but Hanna keeps him off and tries to find a solution for this trying situation. Meanwhile, Wöller got to know Isabella Kegel, who is born in Kaltenthal and he wants to marry her on board promptly, but Isabella ditches him right before the wedding altar. Wöller has dumped on Isabella years before when he was looking for a wife, because of her overweight. In fact that she reduced nearly 30 kilograms Wöller don't recognize her on board of the cruise ship.

Um Himmels Willen — Mission unmöglich

edit

(English: Mission impossible, first aired: 20 December 2012) Mayor of Kaltenthal and car seller Wolfgang Wöller, sold the majority of his second-hand cars to Nigeria and did advance payment thatfore. It transpired fastly that he was fooled by a fraud. Cause of the fact, that he took money out of the public purse of Kaltenthal a political scandal is threaten. To avoid this, he travels to Nigeria, accompanied by sister Hanna from cloister Kaltenthal. Hanna would like to find there Doctor Mabenga, fired physician of Kaltenthal hospital, who traveled to Nigeria with his daughter after an argument with his wife. Wöller and Hanna are visiting sister Lotte, Hannas predecessor, who now leads a mission station in Nigeria.

Um Himmels Willen – Das Wunder von Fatima

edit

(English: The Wonder of Fátima, first aired: 25 December 2014) Sister Hanna, Mayor Wöller and the wealthy widow Sonja Berger together travel to Fátima in Portugal to find the missing early love of Mrs. Berger, Thomas Breitner. Mayor Wöller, who seems uncommonly helpful and generous, again has a selfish hidden agenda: he considers the wealthy Mrs. Berger as the legendary "Angel of Kaltenthal", who favors homeless persons with anonymous donations. For reasons of re-election he has repurposed donations of 50.000 Euros, which are originally dedicated for war orphans, to the gun club of Kaltenthal, and has to fill this gap of money urgently. Therefore he hopes for the goodwill of the rich widow.
