Was the father dubbed or is he a German actor

Also I hear rumour the plot and stolen from a Brazilian comic artist that was over in Germany trying to sell her comic book just before this got written.

Unfortunately to see the similarities you are going to get spoilers.

It is a pity nobody on Twitter took the time to investigate. Reddit did though.
And I did too, I've seen the series and I read her comic, Black Silence, there is a translate version you can google.

There is virtually nothing in her comic related to 1899.
The only resemblance was a black pyramid and some eye symbols.
The entire story and execution was completely difference.

Stargate was more similar to 1899.

If 1899 is a copy of anything, it's Doctor Who: Carnival of Monsters. Carnival of Monsters (TV story)

The setting is a ship at sea in the late 19th century. A strange event occurs, and the crew and passengers appear to be repeating the same actions over and over, without remembering. There is a mysterious metal hatch in the deck of the ship which leads into a huge machine, far to big to fit in the ship. Passing through the machine, other worlds can be found, such as monster-infested swamps.

It turns out that the ship is a simulation, forming an enclosure for the humans (and others) who are in a sort of zoo, where aliens watch them for entertainment purposes.
