Английская Википедия:Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox television Шаблон:Lang ("Alarm for Cobra 11 – The Highway Police") is a long-running, popular German television series about a two-man team of highway police (Autobahnpolizei), originally set in Berlin and since 1999 in the area of Cologne. The series has been broadcast in 120 countries worldwide.
The last regular episode "Das Team" aired on 12 August 2021. In an interview, main star Erdoğan Atalay blamed the stoppage on COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the series returned in the form of 90-minute TV movies.[1]
Plot
The tasks of the Cobra 11 team consist primarily in solving crimes and catching the perpetrators. Typical elements of the action genre are mixed, so that there are regular car crashes, shootouts, explosions and fistfights. These action scenes are elaborately produced in most cases, and appropriately presented in a spectacular way. The high number of unrealistic scenes is a common criticism of the series; for example, large explosions often happen after small collisions while people emerge unharmed out of cars which have sustained catastrophic damage.
Stunts
The series is known for its extremely well performed stuntwork, which features the destruction of various vehicles in every episode. Almost every episode has a distinct structure, with at least one daring action sequence and the pre-title sequence usually consisting of the main event (i.e. a devastating crash on the Autobahn). The stuntwork is often so spectacular that it would not look out of place in a full-fledged movie, with cars commonly reaching implausible heights as they vault through the air.
Production locations
From 1996 to 1998, the series was produced jointly (responsible for all other production aspects such as filming/postproduction/location scouting etc.) and ActionConcept (stunts). Those episodes were shot in Berlin, notably in the site of the former Checkpoint Bravo and in the surrounding state of Brandenburg.[2][3] In 1998, Action Concept took over as the sole production company and shifted all filming/production work to its headquarters in Hürth just south of Cologne. Since then, episodes have been shot in and around Cologne and Düsseldorf as well as on several major Autobahnen (A540/A44 and now mainly on the Filmautobahn Aldenhoven near Düren – [4]) between Cologne and Düsseldorf in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).

Legacy
Game adaptations
The series has also spawned numerous game releases in Europe, primarily for PC, but they have generally met with mixed receptions. The latest title is Crash Time 5: Undercover. Crash Time was also dubbed into English and sold in many other markets worldwide.
Spin-off
In 2002, a spin-off named Шаблон:Interlanguage link (Alarm for Cobra 11 – Team Mission 2) was started. Because of its limited success, only two seasons were produced.
Parodies
- Шаблон:Lang was regularly parodied as "Alarm für Kebap 11 – Die Dönerpölizei" by Шаблон:Interlanguage link, a German comedy sketch program. The segments feature the team talking in exaggerated Turkish accents and many references to Döner Kebab. Erdoğan Atalay and René Steinke themselves have made cameo appearances in some.
- The series has also been parodied on Switch TV and Switch reloaded.
- Шаблон:Lang was also parodied in the Latvian comedy show Savādi gan.
World's Wildest Police Videos
Some of the clips from season 1 to season 5 were used as crash test footage in World's Wildest Police Videos, alongside Der Clown and one crash from Die Wache.
