The Region 2 DVD releases of the first half of the first season contain the full German episodes, as well as the original North American-produced episodes with optional German subtitles. The subsequent season releases contain only the German episodes.
The combined release of the last two seasons was cut short, in that not all Fraggle Rock episodes exist for Die Fraggles. Yet, these episodes have not been released in their original English version in German-speaking countries either. For the eleven episodes that don't exist in the German co-production, see this list.

SEASON 1.1 Three-disc release of the first twelve episodes. Included are the American-English and German versions of each episode (with differing video and audio):
Each disc further features animated menus, as well as trailers for other (non-Muppet) classic children's shows on DVD.
Notes:
All but the last episode on disc three contain the original ending credits as they first aired on TV, complete with ZDF/ORF/SRG co-production credits. For the last episode on this set, and for all subsequent season releases, a still screen is shown instead.
Unlike the English language episodes contained on this release, the German episodes do not cut to the "Jim Henson Television" screen, nor are they followed by the "HIT!" screen.
Episode 1 displays the episode title directly after the opening credits, while episodes 2 to 9 omit on-screen episode titles entirely, as did the original broadcast of the show.
Starting with episode 10, and for all subsequent releases, German episode titles are displayed within the opening credits.
