In a heartwarming episode of "Die Geissens – Eine schrecklich glamouröse Familie," airing on April 21, 2025, at 20:15 on RTLZWEI, the Geiss family welcomes a special guest: Reinhold Geiss, the 82-year-old father of Robert Geiss. The visit takes place in the stunning surroundings of Saint-Tropez, where the family is currently overseeing the construction of their luxurious new villa. While Reinhold's wife, Margret, opts to stay home, the excitement of family dynamics unfolds as he reunites with his son and grandchildren.
Robert Geiss, age 61, is both thrilled and apprehensive about his father’s visit. "He means a lot to me, but he can also drive me crazy," Robert admits, fully aware of Reinhold's penchant for mischief and energy. With construction on the villa already buzzing with activity, Robert hopes his father can lend a hand rather than add to the chaos. "When my father is around, there’s always more action, and we already have enough action on the construction site. Hopefully, he can help me with a few things and not just be a nuisance," he shares.
The family’s excitement is palpable, especially from the younger generation. Shania, Robert's 20-year-old daughter, expresses her delight, saying, "You are the best part of Spain!" as she greets her grandfather, who arrives bearing gifts, including a special ham. Reinhold’s visit is not just about family bonding; it also brings back memories of past adventures, particularly a notable incident from 2011 when he fell from a fir tree while using a chainsaw. Thankfully, he emerged from that experience with only minor injuries.
As the day progresses, Reinhold’s enthusiasm for helping out becomes evident. He eagerly inspects the construction site and expresses a desire to assist the gardener with pruning the pine trees. Despite some initial communication hurdles, he climbs into a crane basket to demonstrate his chainsaw skills. "Now drive over there, and I’ll show you how it’s done," he instructs, showcasing that despite his age, he’s still full of vigor.
However, the family is understandably concerned about Reinhold’s chainsaw antics. Davina, another of Robert's daughters, voices her apprehension, stating, "Opa Reinhold, a chainsaw, and a tree – that has never ended well!" Fortunately, this time, Reinhold manages to prune the trees without incident, and Robert breathes a sigh of relief, saying, "I’m glad that this time the chainsaw action ended peacefully, without us having to pick him up off the ground."
The underlying theme of the episode revolves around family reconciliation. Last year, the Geiss family took a much-needed vacation in Spain to mend their relationships after a prolonged feud. The trip, which included sailing on the yacht "Indigo Star," marked a turning point for the family as they began to reconnect. Reinhold’s presence in the latest episode underscores this newfound harmony.
As the family gathers, the conversation turns to the future. Reinhold and Margret express their hopes of becoming great-grandparents, a sentiment echoed by Robert. "My parents are definitely feeling the pressure of time; they want to become great-grandparents soon," he notes. The light-hearted banter continues as Shania reveals she has "no idea" where her dream man should come from, prompting Reinhold to jokingly suggest various types, from a wealthy Norwegian to a Swedish singer like ABBA. Shania quickly clarifies her preferences, stating, "Anything but a guy like Dad!" to which Reinhold laughs heartily.
In a family that thrives on humor and lively interactions, the episode promises plenty of laughs and heartfelt moments. Reinhold’s visit not only brings joy but also highlights the importance of family support and togetherness. As they navigate the ups and downs of life, the Geiss family continues to showcase the strength of their bonds, all while entertaining their audience with the delightful chaos that comes with family life.
In a world where family dynamics can often be complicated, the Geissens remind us of the value of cherishing those moments together, even if they come with a chainsaw in hand. Tune in to RTLZWEI to catch all the action and heartwarming interactions in this latest episode of "Die Geissens – Eine schrecklich glamouröse Familie."
