Rating: *****
Comment: Some boys in short Lederhosen without suspenders. Some appears like smooth finished and/or nappa leather. Also several boys in short shorts. WDR Schulfernsehen. Not sure about the subject. I think social studies. Aimed at 6-12 yo. Editor/book: Lothar Humburg (long-time editor at WDR, "Moving to Marlborough").

Another one from the 16mm channel. This time a series in 4 parts, 15 minutes each. Pic 1 from ep "Keiner mag mich" (Aka Mich mag keiner, pic 2 from "Ich bin der Größte". Meanwhile he has uploaded episode 3/4 ("So ein Spielverderber!"), but I haven't checked that one yet, probably similar. Part 4 should be "Spielen wir zusammen".

Directed by Sven Schürenberg (1922-1973). No entry of this series on IMDb. But on Filmportal.de. First aired in 1974. The series also contains puppetry "Tim und der Löwe" by Gerhard Mensching. I remember having seen this, bt maybe not in that series.

Rating ~5-6 for now.

Comment: At least this blond boy in Lederhosen without suspenders but 2 zippers. Seems shiny so could be smooth finished or more likely nappa leather. From the 16mm channel.

Not bad but poor image quality and I think only one very brief scene. Unknown movie makers, maybe touristic purpose.

Rating ~(3)-4.

Comment: At least this boy (not sure about his name) in a sailor suit, white blouse, dark blue pants 7/8th and straw hat. Blue collar, 3 stripes. There's another boy maybe in same suit at least pants but closed blue jacket. Scene from ep 5 set in 1914. Pic at 26. I only noticed this brief scene. Series covers years from 1867-1974 set in Vienna. Found by coincidence on YouTube. Briefly checked some episodes, but I don't assume more scenes of interest. Uniforms?

Nice but for the brief scenes rating ~4-5.
