Overview
- The episode titled "Für immer jung" airs on 25 October at 20:15 on ZDF as the series’ 100th installment.
- Martens, in the role since 1994, reaches his 100th appearance as Kriminalhauptkommissar Otto Garber with this case.
- He says he was unknowingly cast after director Konrad Sabrautzky and co‑star Maja Maranow assessed him during a late-night pub visit.
- Following Maranow’s death in 2016, Stefanie Stappenbeck became the second lead, and the show continues to weave topical issues into its plots, with episode 100 exploring life-extension themes.
- Production notes highlight that scripts are written in High German and then translated into Berlin slang by Martens and fellow star Jaecki Schwarz.
