Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was West German television's answer to the British costume drama boom, trying to make Maria Theresia's court sexy for 1970s audiences.
Klausjürgen Wussow was already a major star from 'Das Halstuch' and used this role to pivot into more heroic leading parts. The entire series was shot on videotape with minimal location work.
