SOKO Wismar is a German police procedural television series that premiered on 6 October 2004 on ZDF. It is the fifth offshoot of SOKO München, launched in 1978 under the name SOKO 5113. "SOKO" is an abbreviation of the German word Sonderkommission, which means "special investigative team".
SOKO Wismar is produced by Real Film Berlin, a subsidiary of Studio Hamburg. Filming takes place both in Wismar and its surroundings as well as in Berlin. The World Heritage Sites of Wismar's old town and its harbour often serve as filming locations. The entrance to the police station is actually the entrance to the Hospital of the Holy Ghost. The inside of the station is filmed at Adlershof Studios, in Berlin.[1]
