thumb|300px|right|German opening Die Fraggles is the German co-production of Fraggle Rock.

Localization

The segments within the Muppet world of Fraggle Rock were the same as the North American version, but dubbed with German voice actors. The segments from outer space (i.e. the Doc and Sprocket and Traveling Matt segments) were changed to fit the German audience and filmed at FSM-Studios in Munich.

The German wraparounds copied the North American Doc's set and script word-for-word (except in German), whereas the UK and French co-productions were generally different. 85 of the 96 episodes were co-produced.

Steve Whitmire talked about his experiences on the set with Hans-Helmut Dickow to Duncan Kenworthy in the Fraggle Rock Season Two DVD Interviews segment titled "Docs And Sprockets".

All of the Fraggles' voice actors reprised their roles for the German dub of the animated version of Die Fraggles.

Video releases

For a detailed list, see Die Fraggles Videography.

After a slow start during which the first half of the first season was released on DVD four times between 2008 and 2010 (slightly repackaged), the entire 85 episode run of the show was finally made commercially available for the first time on December 10, 2010.

Unproduced episodes

The following eleven episodes do not exist in the German co-production:
