Für alle Fälle Stefanie is a German medical drama television series created by Werner Krämer that aired on Sat.1 from 15 May 1995 to 29 August 2005.
In the beginning, the show's working title was Stefanie - Schwester mit Herz, which was later used for a rerun of the early seasons.
The show was brought back to new success and stayed a strong performer through the end of season ten.
The season finale featured Stephanie Wilde's death and resulted in Schmutzler leaving the show for a second time.
The ratings dropped to a new low and Sat.1 put the season on a break in September 2004, then returning in its old time slot in December.
However, as ratings didn't recover the network put the show on another hiatus while announcing that the 11th season is the series finale.
