“The Bergdoktor” starts the new season – with drama and passionate love. This is what viewers can expect in the new episodes.
The wait is over, the 17th season of the popular TV series “Der Bergdoktor” (since 2008) starts this Thursday (January 4th) at 8:15 p.m ZDF. The previous winter special was omitted this series season, but with eight new episodes there is one more episode than usual. After an interruption due to carnival – on February 8th “Kölle Alaaf – The Girls’ Session” is on the Thursday program – will be the last “Bergdoktor” episode aired on February 29th.
A new love for the Doc
The fans can look forward to their favorites Hans Sigl (54), Mark Keller (58), Ronja Forcher (27), Heiko Ruprecht (51), Monika Baumgartner (72), Natalie O’Hara (47), Dominic Raacke (65 ), Wolfram Berger (78) and many more, including many guest stars.

It quickly becomes clear in the first episode that Lisbeth survived, but something is still wrong, but she doesn’t want to tell her sons, one a doctor and the other a mountain rescue worker, that. Instead, she insists on confidentiality and remains stubborn: “You are my son, not my doctor.” It quickly becomes clear that Martin is dropping his New York plans and staying with the family in the Wilder Kaiser. “The Grubers and the big drama,” a family friend aptly comments.
Aside from the horizontally told family story, this episode is all about a kind of Heidi Alm Öhi story with gourmet snail breeder Anton Grainer (Peter Kremer), Emmi Neumann (Lotta Herzog) and their sick single mother Branka Neumann (Oona Devi Liebich). , which became one of the indirect victims of the corona pandemic…
