The popular German TV show "Der Bergdoktor" featuring Hans Sigl is set to captivate audiences once again, with a variety of airings scheduled on ZDF. Starting with "Der Bergdoktor - In der Fremde (1)," which airs on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at 03:30, viewers can expect an engaging storyline highlighting the life struggles of Dr. Martin Gruber, played by Hans Sigl.
This particular episode is not new; it originally aired in 2015 and is particularly aimed at viewers aged 12 and older. The narrative revolves around Dr. Gruber, who finds himself in a family conflict resulting in his banishment from the family farm by his brother, Hans. With nowhere to go, Martin seeks shelter with his friend Alexander Kahnweiler and his wife, Vera, a situation both men know is not sustainable.
Meanwhile, Dr. Gruber faces professional dilemmas as he treats Max Griebel, a race car driver who is on the verge of winning the Europacup title. In a sudden turn of events, Max suffers a severe leg cramp during training, raising alarm for Dr. Gruber. Initially suspecting a muscle cramp, he becomes more concerned when he learns that Max is facing significant memory lapses.
The emotional stakes are raised when Max's wife, Ina, confesses her love for Jan, Max’s brother, and longs for a fresh start in life, leaving Max caught between his athletic aspirations and personal life crises. Dr. Gruber's own complicated feelings begin to surface as he draws parallels between his and Max’s troubling circumstances—two brothers, one woman, and all soaked in familial tensions.
Adding a twist, Lilli, the daughter of Dr. Gruber, is affected by the ongoing familial strife and ultimately decides to skip her Matura exam in a fit of distress – a decision that reflects the profound impact of adult conflicts on children.
For viewers eager to see more of Hans Sigl’s performances, he will continue to play Dr. Martin Gruber throughout several episodes on ZDF. Following "In der Fremde (1)," he will be featured in "Der Bergdoktor - In der Fremde (2)" on the same date at 04:15. Moreover, the series continues its lineup with episodes such as "Der Bergdoktor - Die Lebenden und die Toten (1)" scheduled for March 24 at 00:50, leading to two endearing series episodes that make a strong viewing weekend.
Throughout the week, there are many more opportunities to catch Hans Sigl on screen, with the following schedule released: "Der Bergdoktor - Wunschkind (1)" on March 24 at 02:20, "Der Bergdoktor - Schuld (1)" on March 25 at 01:05, and several episodes airing on March 28 and 29, culminating in a full entertaining experience for fans.
With such diverse dramatic narratives woven into every episode, it’s no wonder viewers remain engaged in the tales of personal struggle against a breathtaking backdrop of the Austrian Alps, making "Der Bergdoktor" a steadfast favorite in German television.
