-Comment: Some boys in different historical clothing. At least one looks simlar like wearing a sailor suit (first pic on right). On the other pic one boy wears pants with suspender. Probably no real Lederhosen. Also other scenes like skinny dipping.

I have seen this series many years ago, and can't remember it. Maybe I have some parts on VHS but hope for a soon broadcasting. Available on DVD (276 minutes on 3 DVDs) but I'm not sure about this series. As there are also a lot of grown ups acting, I'm not even sure about the amount of scenes with younger actors. Also not sure about spanking scenes. The family Powenz has 6 (older, probably grown up excepts for one teen) sons and 1 daughter. So most or all of the boys are most likely supporting actors of the village. And only the beginning of this series is set in the 1890s. The rest is set 10 or 20 years later. Not sure if many flashbacks.

1930 novel by Ernst Penzoldt. Starring Gustav Knuth, Theo Lingen, Martin Semmelrogge, Ruth-Maria Kubitschek, (grown up) Michael Ande, Pierre Franck and others.

I have to check this again. Rating 6 for now. Few pics on the web and only one short trailer from the DVD company.

Update: new pics, adding atg sailor suits, rating 6.
