Some of the ifs production design students were also present. Hanisch and Chour explained, among other things, how the art department researched and worked together to faithfully recreate the 1920s-style construction of the "Neue Berliner Straße" and gave exciting insights into the set construction that makes the series so incomparable. There are some impressions of the visit in the gallery.
