coopey ◊ 2011-04-23 18:37	It's Düsseldorf, so I wonder why it was registered in Hamburg.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2011-04-23 19:41	The IMDB says that some scenes set in Düsseldorf were filmed in Hamburg. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086665/locations Quote The filming in Germany (in the cities of Hamburg and Düsseldorf) for the entire first series only actually lasted for ten days. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086665/trivia?tr=tr0621307 -- Last edit: 2011-04-23 19:45:17

ingo ◊ 2011-04-23 21:05	On this sign you see phone-numbers from Hamburg (040) and from Düsseldorf (0211) /vehicle_392950-Volkswagen-Passat-Typ-32-1978.html - obviously faked, as there is -and wasn't either- a local phone code with 04410.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2011-04-23 21:09	@ingo: The building site was apparently a studio backlot in the UK.
ingo ◊ 2011-04-23 21:12	I'm not sure about that, Gag. Onfortunately the main pic was changed here /vehicle.php?id=393215 where you could see, that the worker's trailer was for sure German - rather unlikely to pull such a 25 km/h-chunk to Britain P.S. all other details on the building-site-pics here are German, too. -- Last edit: 2011-04-23 21:13:57
cl82 ◊ 2011-04-23 21:34	AFAIK the building-site was really in Britain, but they spent quite a lot of money to buy as much German equipment as possible to make it look authentic. The other outdoor-scenes were shot in the Düsseldorf-area. -- Last edit: 2011-04-26 17:55:15
ingo ◊ 2011-04-23 21:41	I disagree: for sure this is German: /vehicle_393300-Volkswagen-Typ-2-T2.html Just have a look to the buildings. And as Gag has said, that the outdoor-scenes were filmed in Hamburg, it's confirmed by the pic of the bus above. Sure, the HH-plates could be changed, too, but the style of the old, around 1900, houses in the background is typical for the Hamburg-area.
ingo ◊ 2011-04-23 21:43	Here, too: /vehicle_393307-Volkswagen-Golf-Typ-17.html Absolute Hamburg-typical architecture. And the no-stopping-sign looks like the (also HH-typical) 1960ies enamel-version.

cl82 ◊ 2011-04-26 19:32	Yes, it's Hamburg of course, sorry. I wanted to write that, too, but since it's supposed to play in Düsseldorf, I mixed it up. As I said, street-scenes were shot in Germany, but the building-site was indeed on a studio-backlot in Britain.
ingo ◊ 2011-04-28 17:14	cl82 wrote but the building-site was indeed on a studio-backlot in Britain. Sorry, I disagree. At none of the scenes, we have here, is just any little UK-typicial detail to see, everything is German - and all these details as trailers, tools, even fences and the building-site helmets are different in both countries. For sure the makers would have tugged all this stuff to Britian.
coopey ◊ 2011-06-11 13:37	Another one in episode 1.07 :
ingo ◊ 2011-10-08 23:43	@cl82: this is the only building-site-scene, which was filmed in the UK: fence and construction trailer aren't German. /vehicle_424857-Volvo-245.html
