On this great journey, Fitz is in good company: the group includes Julia Koschitz (his wife), Jürgen Vogel, Miriam Stein (Lotte in Young Goethe in Love [+see also:

Hin und Weg is produced by Majestic, which plans on releasing the film on German screens next autumn. The filming should continue until the end of the month.
