Schloss Einstein

Schloss Einstein is a long-running German television series which is designed as a teenage soap opera. It portrays the lives of teenagers in Schloss Einstein (Castle Einstein), a fictional boarding school. The intended audience is 10- to 14-year-olds.

The series combines the genres of comedy, action, drama (e.g., first love, problems with parents and schoolmates), and natural science. Scripts for the series are written by prominent television script writers.

New episodes of Schloss Einstein are currently shown on Mondays at 8:10 p.m. on channel KiKA. Older episodes are shown regularly from Monday to Friday at 2:10 p.m. on KiKA.

Schloss Einstein was developed and produced by Askania Media Filmproduktion [de] by order of the ARD under the auspices of the MDR and WDR.

Starting in September 2007, Saxonia Media Filmproduktion [de] took over production of the series.

Because the show has its own genre as a Kinder-Weekly (children's weekly), the producers had had no experience with this kind of series. Originally, only 76 episodes were planned. ARD went to yearly sequels after they knew it was a success. Since then, each season of production has consisted of 52 episodes, which are shot in 13 blocks of four episodes each.

The first episode was aired September 4, 1998, on channel KiKA. Prior to the show's eleventh season (which began in January 2008), a total of 480 episodes had been produced. Episode 480 was the last episode that was set in the fictional village of Seelitz.

As of spring 2025, a total of 1,104 episodes in 28 seasons have aired. This is a running milestone in German television programming. Worldwide, Schloss Einstein is the longest-running fictional children's television series (among those that employ child actors).
