-Comment: Two (moving) scenes of boys in Lederhosen, some are smooth finish leather. 2 or 3 scenes of boys in sailor suits, one showing a b&w photo.

I understood that the Lederhosen scenes (pictured) were taken at the German boarding school Schloss Salem. I don't know the date, maybe the 1950s as this a unrelated footage. Also another scene with boys outside showing from behind. But also no close ups. One very young boy in a sailor suit (also moving scene at the beginning) and one scene of a 1930s photo (unpictured). An older countess (House Thurn & Taxis) showing her favourite photo. She even mentions that it's her favourite pic as they are all shown in sailor suits. A boy ~10 in a sailor suit.

Part of the 2010 WDR series "Meine Kindheit..." (see also entry Lindenstraße on my other blog). Next episode is "Meine Kindheit... in der Großstadt" (rating 5) next Friday, also with boys in Lederhosen. The color documentaries ("My childhood", this in the castle showing interviews of some grown-ups of different age talking about their childhood. Not all are aristocrats. Interesting plots of different ways growing up in castles.  I like boarding schools. Also shown some later color scenes but none in Lederhosen. Good historical overview also of education and social life.

"Only" rating 6-7 due to the few scenes. Though very good Lederhosen.

Rebroadcasted today (noon) on WDR. Probably also later, maybe also online. Update: The 2nd pic is from the intro and probably from the episode ... in der Schule (which I missed).
