Ein Bayer auf Rügen is a German comedy/crime television series, broadcast in 81 episodes between 1993 and 1997.
Prussia is on the brink of national bankruptcy. King Frederick William III unexpectedly appoints the tax official Christian Rother as President of the Royal Prussian Maritime Trade.
In a satirical way, the typical television coverage after a (fictitious) state election is simulated — including projections, interviews, commentaries, and a so-called “heavyweight round”. When then, over the course of the broadcast, the voter turnout is estimated as just 3.86 percent of those eligible to vote, none of the involved believes it. But after this information turns out to be true, it is attempted to explain this scandalous, impertinent, and downright subversive behaviour of the electorate.
