German titles are gaining increasing popularity, and for good reason. From their captivating plots to their rich musical scores, everything about German film and television productions reflects the depth of their culture, making them highly acclaimed on streaming platforms worldwide.
However, what sets these productions apart and garners them massive global audiences are their breathtaking landscapes and filming locations. From the haunting forests of “Dark” to the magnificence of the Maxton Hall school, the settings in which these stories unfold add a layer of mystique to their narratives.
The next German series poised to capture hearts is “Love Sucks,” with Damian Hardung leading the show as a vampire who falls in love with a human. Many have been curious about the exotic locations showcased in its trailer, and here’s where they were filmed.
‘Love Sucks’ series: All the locations in which it was filmed
According to Frankfurt-Tip, a specialized site for event guidance in the city, filming for “Love Sucks” primarily took place in Frankfurt and its surrounding areas.
Specifically, scenes were shot amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the Frankfurt Dippemess, a traditional folk festival, inside the DB high-rise building on the 25th floor, offering picturesque views of the city skyline, and on the market grounds in Hochheim am Main, a town neighboring Frankfurt.
Frank Zervos, the main editorial director for television film at ZDF, the entertainment company behind the series, expressed enthusiasm about setting a vampire series in unique locations. He stated, “We were immediately excited by the idea of setting a vampire series at a fairground on the city limits, where time seems to stand still. And this in the middle of today’s German banking metropolis Frankfurt, between skyscrapers and old mansions.”
Within these locations, captivating installations come to life. From an unique boxing ring, belonging to the protagonist and forbidden love interest of Damian Hardung, to an imposing castle likely housing the antagonist vampire family, each setting exudes the magical essence from the fantasy genre of the production.
Considering all these elements, “Love Sucks” is poised to become one of Hardung’s most beloved productions, possibly even surpassing the success of the upcoming Season 2 of “Maxton Hall”, provided a streaming service is willing to host the Romeo and Juliet-themed story.
