The character of "Henning von Anstetten" was played by three actors - Markus Hoffmann, Hendrik Martz and Patrick Fichte - within seven years. Markus Hoffmann committed suicide by jumping off of a skyscraper in 1997 and, tactlessly, the character died by falling down a tower in 2002.
Konrad Krauss and Gabriele Metzger are the only original cast members still with the show during the entire run. Claudia Scarpatetti departed in 1997, but returned in 2005.
