History Series / Schillerstrasse

The actors only know the topic of the episode, everything else is improvised. The cast recieves directions from the „Spielleiter“ (Game Master) on their headphones, which can lead from mostly harmless stuff like „Cordula: Imitate your mother“ to absurdities like „Annette: You desire the bar stool“. Of course, all the directions have to be carried out as fast as possible.

* BabyTalk: A direction for Ralf in Ep. 2

* ClipShow: Ep. 100
* {{Corpsing}}: Since the actors don't know the directions the others are getting, this happens pretty often.

* AbsenteeActor: Cordula was on maternity leave for the last eight episodes of season 3. Explained in-universe as her being on a reducing diet and leading to the creation of „Schillereck“.
