Sherlock Holmes is a German 1967 television series featuring Erich Schellow as Sherlock Holmes and Paul Edwin Roth as Dr. Watson.[1]

The series aired on WDR from 28 August 1967 to 13 February 1968[2] and is formed by six episodes, each one adapting a Sherlock Holmes short story written by Arthur Conan Doyle, though the scripts are based on the adaptations made in the first season of the British TV series Sherlock Holmes (1965–1968).[2][1] A DVD was issued in 2012 as number 45 in the Straßenfeger compilation series of crime-related film and TV productions, along with Conan Doyle und der Fall Edalji [de] (1966) and Sherlock Holmes und das Halsband des Todes (1962), all with German language soundtracks only, and no subtitles.
