''Verbotene Liebe'' (, lit. "Forbidden Love") is a German television soap opera created by Reg Watson for Das Erste. The show is set primarily in the German city of Düsseldorf although, at times, the city of Cologne and the Spanish island of Majorca have figured prominently in the show's story lines. First broadcast on 2 January 1995,〔(Fernsehserien.de: First air date ''Verbotene Liebe ) (German)〕 ''Verbotene Liebe'' was originally broadcast in 24-minute episodes, five times a week. It expanded to 45-minute episodes on 21 June 2011 and trimmed back to 40-minute episodes on 23 January 2012 to accommodate an adjusted time-slot. In 2006, Pay-TV network Passion began broadcasting episodes of the show from the beginning. ''Verbotene Liebe'' was initially based on original story and character outlines from the Australian soap opera ''Sons and Daughters'', before evolving into a show of its own as the series progressed. The show originally focused on two core families: the wealthy Anstetten family and the middle-class Brandner family. More specifically, it dealt with the story of Jan Brandner and Julia von Anstetten, two strangers whose fascination for each other leads them to fall in love, neither of them cognizant of the fact that they are twins separated by their parents. It is this story of forbidden love that gave the series its title. As cast members left the show, many characters were written out of the storyline, and new ones were added. Sometimes this included whole families. Writers attempted to phase out the dwindling Brandner family by introducing a new middle-class family, the Prozeskis, as foils for the wealthy Anstettens, but the Brandners proved to be too popular with fans, and the Prozeskis left as quickly as they came. Currently, much of the drama centers around the Wolf family and the aristocratic Lahnstein family. The series has become well known for its groundbreaking treatment of LGBT characters, presenting bisexuality and homosexuality as normal, and homosexual relationships as equal to heterosexual relationships on the show. For this reason, it has become popular with gay and lesbian audiences in Europe and the United States. Ever on the cutting edge, the series has tackled controversial issues such as drug addiction, murder, rape, suicide, adultery, homophobia, incest, alcoholism, drug abuse, schizophrenia, HIV, miscarriage, kidnapping, and sexual confusion. In 2005, ''Verbotene Liebe'' received the prestigious Rose d'Or award for "Best Soap," and in 2010 was nominated for the category of "Best Soap or Telenovela." More recently, the show was nominated for eight German Soap Awards in 2011, winning three. In January 2011, the series began filming in high definition. The show ended on June 26, 2015 after 4664 episodes due to a decline of viewers. The February transition to weekly broadcasting did not bring the amount of viewers they had expected. 〔http://www.daserste.de/unterhaltung/soaps-telenovelas/verbotene-liebe/specials/verbotene-liebe-nach-4664-folgen-ist-schluss100.html〕 ==Setting== The central focus of ''Verbotene Liebe'' is the fictional high society in and around Düsseldorf and Cologne. Set in a world of power and intrigue, main locations in the beginning were Friedenau Castle, the Brandner home and the bar No Limits (originally called Off Limits). While the location of Friednau Castle was abandoned in 2001 and followed by the short-lived location of Schönberg Manor and eventually Königsbrunn Castle, the Brandner home stayed with the show as a permanent location beyond the show's 15th anniversary. Friedenau Castle, Schönberg Manor and Königsbrunn Castle are supposed to show a lifestyle of rich aristocrats and the Brandner home was used as a contrast, showing life of a middle-class family. Ehreshoven Castle is used for on location shoots for the fictional Königsbrunn Castle. The bar No Limits is the only original location left as of 2014. However the set and location of the bar has changed multiple times, most of the time explained within story. In 2014, the bar is relocated to its original location in the show. Other common settings are various penthouses, flat shares and offices over the years. Since 2011 the show is mainly set in fashion with the fictional fashion brand LCL and since 2010, the Media Harbor Düsseldorf is used for most on-location shoots. The show is produced in the Magic Media Company studios in Cologne's borough Ossendorf since 2003. The same studios are also the home of ''Alles was zählt''. ''Verbotene Liebe'' was previously produced in the studios of WDR. The biggest build stage is the LCL set over three floors. For six months in 2011, the show was partly produced in Majorca, Spain for a separate story that eventually concluded in Düsseldorf. 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「Verbotene Liebe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
