Apparently, "Heimat" is a common type of film in Germany, and they've been making them since the 20's. It means something like "homeland", and these films typically describe someone going away (usually to America), but finally realizing they can only find real happiness if they return to their hometown. It would probably take a lot more information than you gave to find more info about the series you're talking about.
It's amazing all those scenes would be in only three movies in a series. This definitely sounds worth looking into. About when were the movies made? Any names of anyone involved in them? Production company? Are TV shows in Germany made by the Networks.
I hope you or somebody who lives there can give us more insight. Nanpa tapes Japanese ENF programs and sells them; maybe somebody might be able to do the same thing in Germany?
