I can only agree with the assessment of "evelyncor" which actually already says it all. A great miniseries with a lot of feeling. All roles are truly wonderful reception and give us an insight into the past. My 13 year old son has a little mitgeguckt and was amazed that 10-year children were already working in the 19th century and only "upper classes" received an education. Although here is probably much represented something romantic, but certainly shows parts from the often difficult life of this time, and how everyone (man or woman rich or poor,) tries to find a little happiness for themselves in compliance with the rules of society. In streaming the series is of course in German, not be as suspect a previous review, in English.
