Hi,
I wanted to bring some informations about all of the different DVD releases of Rappelkiste, to those who are interested in the whole 160 episodes released on the TV, back in the days.
First, it seems that from 2005 to 2007, they've released a set/collection of 10 _individual_ DVDs (in their own box/case), each containing 4 episodes, which are not in the chronological order from the TV release/broadcast.
They are labelled from "Rappelkiste NO. 1" to "Rappelkiste NO. 10", and here is the complete list of the 40 episodes, which can be found on them, according to the photos from their DVD's back cover.

They can still all be found for sale on Amazon, although this may require checking on the
www.amazon.com web site version, which can ship internationaly, and also checking on the
www.amazon.de web site version or other country versions too.
Then, in 2011, they've released a new compilation, being a 4 DVDs set, including the 28 first episodes of Rappelkiste, in the chronological order from the TV release/broadcast, and in 2016, they've re-released it with a slightly different DVD box cover, but with the same episodes content.
They've also released another 4 DVDs set compilation, in 2011, including the 28 next episodes of Rappelkiste (from 29 to 56), in the chronological order from the TV release/broadcast, but it doesn't seem that they've re-released it in 2016, like they've done for the 28 first episodes compilation.
Finally, in 2023, they've released yet another compilation, being a 8 DVDs set, including the 56 first episodes of Rappelkiste, in the chronological order from the TV release/broadcast.
Well, since that these 2 newer collection sets they've released, still don't include all of the 160 episodes ever released on TV, I think that we can assume that they don't intent to ever release them all on DVDs someday, for some (weird ?) reason.
The full/complete list of all the 160 episodes ever released on TV, can be found @

Now, as you can see, there are 5 DVDs, from the individual DVD collection set, containing 4 episodes each, with aren't included in the newer collection sets (Rappelkiste NO. 1, NO. 2, NO. 8, NO. 9 and NO. 10) and also 2 DVDs, from the individual DVD collection set, containing only one episode each, with aren't included in the newer collection sets (Rappelkiste NO. 6 and NO. 7).
So, it means that it could be possible to preserve 22 additional episodes, in addition to the 56 episodes from the newer collection sets.
I remember in particular, the episode 96, titled "Wir - wir - wir", which is included in the "Rappelkiste NO. 1" DVD, and it would be nice to be able watching it in DVD quality: it's available on Youtube, but the quality is rather poor.

Also, I've found the "
Like this post to see ed2k links [136.64 MiB] " file, on the eD2K and Kad networks, with eMule/aMule, which is in higher resolution (720x576) and in better quality (MPEG2 codec) than the dozen of XviD episode files (in 576x432 only), available from time-to-time.
