Hausmeister Krause – Ordnung muss sein is a German sitcom with Tom Gerhardt in the title role, shown from 1999 through 2010 on Sat.1. The series parodies typical German "squareness". Half-day janitor Dieter Krause is the embodiment of the German "square"; he is pernickety, blindly follows order, denounces others, is nosy, consistently puts his own interests above all else, acts subservient to his superiors and is brutish and unjust to those he deemes below him. Many plot elements — mishaps, misunderstandings, and frequent cases of mistaken identity — originate from Boulevard theatre. The characters in the series borrow heavily from those in Tom Gerhardt's film Voll normaaal, in many cases sharing names. In Voll normaaal, Tom Gerhardt played the roles of both Dieter and Tommie Krause; in Hausmeister Krause, Tommie was played by Axel Stein. Daughter Carmen is played by Janine Kunze. Other characters from Voll normaaal, such as Tommie's friend Mario, are relegated to the status of background characters. The scope of action also changed.

The hero of this play, Liane Jokkemöller, runs a Cologne travel agency that specialises in adventure travels: her desk is sitting on elephant legs, the walls are papered with zebra stripes. The dernier cri are weekend safaris to Africa, including a photo-op with Tarzan and Jane. Gerhard and Christel Pfuscher, sexshop-owners from Bergheim, splash out and spend a small fortune on it. But then there is word of the jungle heroes getting run over by a herd of elephants, and the travel agency owner is in a fix. With her husband Harald, zookeeper in the monkey house, she travels to Africa to don the leopard fur herself for once. But at first, Liane must help Harald in return by riding the killer whale in the zoo’s aquarium. Finally, in the jungle, things are going crazy. Starzahn has to decide between two women, for cleaning lady Eloise Pütz is also in on it. A haunting of the jungle ghost, a frenzy of the instincts.
