"Oh please, dear god" - Stars gather together for an emotional reunification.

"Three years after the popular TV series 'Um Himmels Willen' aired its final episode, the cast and crew reunited in Munich. According to actress Janina Hartwig (62), it felt like returning home. They missed the opportunity for a farewell party due to the pandemic when the show ended in 2021, but now they can make up for it.

The team also wanted to honor their deceased colleagues - Sister Felicitas (played by Karin Gregorek) passed away last year, Bishop Rossbauer (played by Horst Sachtleben) in 2022, and Mayor Wolfgang Wöller (portrayed by Fritz Wepper) in March of 2023. Fritz was an integral part of the show for almost 20 years, starring alongside Hartwig as Sister Hanna.

Hartwig reminisced about the happy times spent with her close-knit team, recalling the ups and downs they had experienced together throughout the years. "Children are born, relatives die, there are divorces, there are marriages. But I'll think of Fritz most of all," she shared.

Gaby Dohm, who played Mother Superior "Luise von Beilheim," said, "I baptized the series as Sister Lotte." Reminiscing about the early days, she still keeps in touch with many of the cast members she met during filming.

'Um Himmels Willen' concluded after 20 seasons that brought in a million viewers, airing on Tuesdays in the First. The network decided to end the show when it was at its peak. The series had filmed in Landshut, Niederaichbach, Munich, and surrounding areas since its launch in January 2002."

The ARD had considered 'Um Himmels Willen' one of its most successful shows in the First, maintaining its popularity for years."
