About Dahoam is Dahoam
Dahoam is Dahoam (Bavarian for Home Is Home) is a long-running German daily soap that has aired on BR Fernsehen, the Bavarian regional channel of the ARD, since October 8, 2007. The series is set in the fictional Upper Bavarian village of Lansing, a small rural community where the rhythms of everyday life, the local inn, the village brewery, the church, and the farms, provide the backdrop for an ongoing tapestry of family stories. Spoken largely in Bavarian dialect, the show has become a comforting evening fixture for viewers across the region and beyond.
At the heart of Lansing are a handful of interlocking families whose fortunes drive the drama. The innkeeper Brunner family runs the village pub and butcher shop, the Kirchleitner family is tied to the local brewery, and the Preissinger family rounds out the core community alongside them. Births, marriages, rivalries, business worries, and small-town secrets ripple between these households, while a steady ensemble of recurring villagers gives the series its lived-in, neighborly feel. Several performers have anchored the cast since the very first episode, lending Lansing a sense of continuity that fans have followed for thousands of installments.
Tonally, Dahoam is Dahoam leans into the warm, grounded storytelling of the German Heimat tradition rather than high melodrama. The stakes are the everyday ones of rural life, keeping the inn afloat, mending a family rift, navigating love and loss across generations, all framed by the Bavarian countryside and the slow turn of the village seasons. That gentle, community-centered approach, built on familiar faces and the idea that home is where you belong, has made the soap one of BR Fernsehen's most enduring daily dramas.
