    • Has run concurrently against fellow German crime & punishment series Tatort (which launched the Detective Drama craze in West Germany back then) since 1981. Both Claus Theo Gärtner and Günter Strack actually had several one-shot roles in Tatort before becoming the leads of A Case for Two (Gärtner had two roles, Strack had six), not to mention many actors both shows shared in one-shot roles.
    • Also ran concurrently against another inhouse (ZDF) production, Derrick, between 1981 and 1998.
  • No Stunt Double: Claus Theo Gärtner is car enthusiast and did his own car stunts in the series. He also participated in numerous car races and worked as a test driver for a German car manufacturer.
  • Role Reprise: Claus Theo Gärtner reprised the role of Josef Matula for three TV movies in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
  • You Look Familiar: Many (and we mean many) actors have played at least two or three different roles in the series over three decades. Examples on this site include Gottfried John and Sebastian Koch.
