Die Fraggles is the German co-production of Fraggle Rock. 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.
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 completely different. Unlike UK production, the German (and French) series ended before co-producing all 96 episodes from the North America.
Steve Whitmire talked in detail 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".
The German dialogue for the dubbed footage was written and directed by Eberhard Storeck.
