MDR Television to Broadcast New Episodes of 'Die Heiland' and 'Dr. Mertens'

MDR Television is set to broadcast new episodes of its popular German drama series this weekend. On Saturday, September 26, at 05:35, the channel will air "Schikane einer alten Dame" (Harassment of an Old Lady), an episode from the legal series "Die Heiland – Wir sind Anwalt" (The Heiland – We Are Lawyers).

The episode centers on a dispute at a senior living facility. The facility's director, Sibylle Sonntag, is accused by a resident, Regina Landau, of unlawful detainment and assault. Sonntag claims she merely prevented Landau, a diabetic, from consuming too much sugar. Romy Heiland, representing Sonntag, faces a complex case involving conflicting testimonies and personal entanglements, leading her to deploy an undercover operative.

On Sunday, September 26, at 06:25, MDR will present episode 96 of "Tierärztin Dr. Mertens" (Veterinarian Dr. Mertens), titled "Loslassen" (Letting Go). In this installment, veterinarian Susanne Mertens navigates personal challenges, seeking to move past her history and embrace the future. The episode explores her interactions with patients and colleagues, including addressing a colleague's potential medication dependency.

Additionally, the series "Schloss Einstein" (Castle Einstein), a German children's program, will also be featured. These broadcasts are part of MDR Television's programming for the 40th broadcast week, spanning September 26 to October 2, 2026.
