''The Black Forest Clinic'' ((ドイツ語:Die Schwarzwaldklinik), (:diː ˈʃvaʁtsvaltˌkliːnɪk)) is a German language medical drama television series that was produced by and filmed in West Germany. The series was produced between 1984 and 1988 with the original airing being from October 2, 1985 to March 25, 1989 on (at that time) West Germany's ZDF (Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen) television channel. The series' storyline follows the inner workings of a small fictional hospital in the Black Forest region of Germany as well as the lives of the Brinkmann family of doctors who work at the hospital. Shortly after broadcasting had begun in 1985, ''The Black Forest Clinic'' became a highly popular television event, reaching audiences of over 20 million viewers. 25 years since its debut, it is still highly regarded in Germany. The series had been re-broadcast several times since 1985 and has spawned two television films released 20 years after its initial airing. ==Background and development== The creation of ''The Black Forest Clinic'' was influenced by the popularity of the Czechoslovak medical drama series ''Hospital at the End of the City'' which originally aired from 1977 to 1981 and was broadcast in both East Germany and West Germany.〔 (Das Geheimnis ), Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, August 18, 2009. Accessed March 5, 2010.〕 Actor Klausjürgen Wussow in interviews cited long-running American daytime television drama ''General Hospital'' as a major influence on ''The Black Forest Clinic''. The setting for the fictional hospital was the real-life Glotterbad Clinic in the town of Glottertal located in the Black Forest of Baden-Württemberg.〔 Stuff, Brita. (Die Schwarzwaldklinik – Heile Welt zu verkaufen ), ''Die Welt'', August 22, 2009. Accessed March 5, 2010.〕〔 Luck, Harry. (Das Geisterhaus im Glottertal ), ''Focus'', August 24, 2007. Accessed March 5, 2010.〕 Only the exterior of the Glotterbad Clinic was photographed and shown in the series, the filming of action inside the hospital was done in a studio in Hamburg. The name for the fictional hospital was borrowed from the location as well — ''Schwarzwald'' being the German language name of Black Forest. The idea for the ''The Black Forest Clinic'' was conceived by Herbert Lichtenfeld who also wrote the teleplay.〔 Lauterbach, Jörn. (Tod eines Traumfabrikanten ), ''Die Welt'', January 8, 2002. Accessed March 5, 2010.〕 The producer of the series was Wolfgang Rademann who had, at that time, been known in Germany as the producer of the German version of ''The Love Boat''.〔 Weinges, Philipp.(Wer Sex hat, stirbt ), ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'', November 19, 2009. Accessed March 5, 2010.〕 Rademann had for several years attempted to pitch to television networks the idea for a medical television series but with little success due to a lack of interest by the networks. Principal photography for the series began in the summer of 1984 in Glottertal. Polyphon Film-und Fernsehgesellschaft production company was producing the series for both ZDF and Austrian broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Black Forest Clinic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
