Where films are set in Nordrhein-Westfalen
39 films and series have a recorded story setting here. Filming locations are listed separately where the setting is unknown.
Dots mark recorded story settings in specific towns. A title with only a filming location, or a broader setting, appears in the list without a dot — and so does one set in a place this map cannot mark apart from its city, such as a borough or a square. Every one of them still has a button of its own under the map.

The figure is an average per day across the five years to July 2026. Lookups — not viewings, not ticket sales, not streams.
Set here, or filmed here and marked as such. A title is on this page because its record says the story takes place here. A title with no recorded setting but a recorded filming location is listed too, and its own line says so — where the camera stood is a fact about a production, not about the work, and the two are never added together.
