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 British 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.
In 2021, a German dub of the original North American version was released on Apple TV+.
