On March 7, 2024, ZDF showed the long-awaited season finale of its hit “Der Bergdoktor” on linear television - and its storyline raised big questions.
Ellmau - In the final episode of the 17th season of ZDF's "Bergdoktor" things got really exciting for the last time: Karla (Sarah Mahita, 26) and Markus Jenner (Nicolas Wolf, 32) are happy about the birth of their child fraternal twin daughters Paula and Leni - but the new mother has to deal with two pieces of shocking news.
You will be advised by TV doctor Dr.
Martin Gruber (Hans Sigl, 54) attests, among other things, that both daughters have a different father.
Two daughters, two fathers?
“Mountain Doctor” addresses a medical phenomenon
It was recently announced on the Instagram page of the local series “Bergdoktor” that filming for the 18th season will begin in May 2024.
Until then, fans still have time to digest the exciting finale of season 17.
A curious story that is causing a lot of conversation is that of the paternity of Karla's newborn twins.
Dr.
Gruber announces to new mom Karla that her daughters have two different fathers: she is said to have had a superfecundation - but what does that mean exactly?

“This term [note.
d.
Red.: the Superfekundation] describes the fact that in a dizygotic twin pregnancy there can be two fathers," explains Hans Sigl as a TV doctor to his patient - but is such a thing even medically possible?
The simple answer is yes, but it is extremely rare.
For example, in 2022, a woman in Brazil gave birth to twins from different fathers.
But the “Bergdoktor” production is not always based on real medical cases and events: Dr.
Pablo Hagemeyer (54), who works as a consultant for the popular ZDF series, said in an interview with
glückspost.ch
in 2019 that illnesses were also invented for the “mountain doctor” in the past.
First episode of the 17th season: “Der Bergdoktor” started with a solid market share
The opening episode of the current “Bergdoktor” season unfortunately only landed in second place in the ratings race on January 4th, 2024, as
dwdl.de
reported.
The ZDF Alpine series achieved a market share of 19.7 percent and had an average total audience of 5.52 million viewers.
The seventh and therefore penultimate episode of the 17th “Bergdoktor” season fought its way to first place on the ratings list and emerged as the day’s winner.
A total of 5.79 viewers tuned in and ZDF gained 22.1 percent of the market share with the episode “Zerreißprobe”.

“Bergdoktor” production bought the pregnancy story externally
The idea for the story originally came from an external author - and she bought the “Bergdoktor” production from her for the home series.
“We saw this as a very exciting and emotionally profound basic constellation, so we bought the rights to the idea from this author and transferred the whole thing to the 'Bergdoktor' world,” the
new German film company
told
bunte.de
.
They also assure that they also sought professional medical advice when developing the storyline.

If you missed the eighth episode on linear television, you can also watch the finale later in the ZDF media library - the entire 17th season is available online there.
For the filming of the “Bergdoktor” episode “Late Consequences,” Ronja Forcher (27), Lilli Gruber’s actress, had to jump over her shadow.
