Batic and Leitmayr are fictional investigators from the ARD crime film series Tatort . They are played by Miroslav Nemec as Ivo Batic and Udo Wachtveitl as Franz Leitmayr. The Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) has so far produced 84 episodes of the 1991 Munich Detective Chief Commissioners.
background
In the 1970s, the Munich crime scene scene was represented by Gustl Bayrhammer (Melchior Veigl) , and in the 1980s by Helmut Fischer (Ludwig Lenz) . After his exit, the BR editorial team searched for a long time to find “fresh faces” for a new dramaturgical concept for the Bavarian part of the crime scene series. During this phase of transition, Horst Bollmann stepped in as Otto Brandenburg for two Tatort episodes in 1988 and 1989 .
Miroslav Nemec and Udo Wachtveitl were among the emerging talents in the German film scene in 1989. The casting took place in the form of a snack in a Munich beer garden, to which both actors had been invited. Nemec and Wachtveitl initially did not want to sign a letter of commitment for six episodes, as requested by the broadcaster's legal department, because they had never been hired for such a length of time and they could not assess the roles, the relationship between the two characters and the scripts would develop in that time.
According to the script, Leitmayr was supposed to drive an old Porsche as a suburban yuppie . This "distinguishing feature" was felt to be a hindrance and got rid of it after three episodes. As figures, they should usually determine in very different directions and follow their intuition so that in the end they arrive at the same goal on different paths at the same time.
The shooting locations were always Munich and the surrounding area. In the first 25 years, Batic and Leitmayr had 152 dead, with the most common cause of death in 32 cases being a shot. In the entire crime scene era, the duo Batic / Leitmayr has been the investigative team with the most individual episodes and, after Lena Odenthal, the longest. At the same time, they are among the most popular investigators, as a survey showed, in which Batic and Leitmayr took third place with 5% of the votes after Thiel and Boerne (31%) and Ballauf and Schenk (9%).
characters
Ivo Batic
Chief Detective Ivo Batic, played by Miroslav Nemec , was born on June 26, 1954 in Croatia and grew up with foster parents in Freilassing . He approaches any case with a sure criminal instinct. He always harmonizes with his equal partner Franz Leitmayr. Both are carved from one wood and complement each other perfectly. Because of his origins and the experience gained from it, he has retained his sense of social fringe groups. He absolutely cannot stand xenophobia , and it can happen that his Mediterranean temperament then gets away with him. Controlled so impulsively, he can sometimes get lost in something passionately. He does not always agree with Franz, and there can also be loud arguments, but when things get serious, they are unconditionally united.
Franz Leitmayr
Udo Wachtveitl plays chief detective Franz Leitmayr, a real Munich native who was born and raised in Munich's Glockenbachviertel . His date of birth is November 7th, 1958, his personnel number is 174023. He comes from a small family and has therefore remained down to earth. He investigates with brains and occasionally follows other leads than his colleague, but this is not detrimental to the criminalistic success. Their lovingly biting teasing shows how well they get along. With their natural Bavarian stubbornness, the harmony is sometimes in danger, but the interplay is always right in the end.
Both are kindred spirits who have always thought alike. In doing so, however, they are not frozen in routine. Both have no family, the same sense of justice, are compassionate and yet have a backbone, an unerring instinct and common sense.
Calli Hammermann
Detective Inspector Karl-Heinz Hammermann, known as Kalli, is played by Ferdinand Hofer . Hammermann was born in 1991 in the Au district of Munich , where his parents run a heating and plumbing company. After graduating from high school, he completed a three-year police training course and then worked on patrol duty for two years before he became the new assistant to Batic and Leitmayr in 2014 - for the first time in the film At the End of the Corridor .
Carlo Menzinger
Superintendent Carlo Menzinger, played by Michael Fitz , was the third person in the team from 1991 to 2007 as an eternally youthful and laid-back guy, but only the assistant and mostly only responsible for back office and research, especially since he knew how to use a computer . As a nice colleague, he did everything, sometimes assembling a complete espresso machine from lots of individual parts. He was a friend of the Italian way of life.
In 2013 he visited Munich and appeared in a guest role as a result of Power and Powerlessness .
More secondary investigators
Batic and Leitmayr have so far been supported by eight assistants, the longest being Carlo Menzinger.
After Menzinger left, Leitmayr and Batic were initially supported in a few episodes by changing investigators:
- Case 49, The oide dork : Chief Detective Bernhard "Grandpa" Sirsch ( Fred Stillkrauth )
- Case 52, Song of the Dead : Swiss police officer Gabi Kunz ( Sabine Timoteo )
- Case 61, The Sad King : Police Candidate Julia Winters ( Sylta Fee Wegmann )
- Case 62, A New Life : Police Candidate Fechner ( Maxi Schafroth )
- Case 63, The Deep Sleep : Gisbert Engelhardt ( Fabian Hinrichs )
In Case 67 at the end of the corridor , two new employees were introduced who were to remain permanently: Assistant Kalli Hammermann (see above) and Christine Lerch, Head of Operational Case Analysis ( Lisa Wagner ). However, Lerch left the team in episode 73 after she had only appeared in five of the seven episodes. The model for her character was the real case analyst Alexander Horn , who also advises the Munich Tatort series

reception
Wachtveitl and Nemec received the Bavarian TV Prize in 2012 because of their merits as crime scene inspectors . This honor recognized the open-mindedness, credibility, sympathy and deep humanity that the duo Batic and Leitmayr have represented for 20 years. "Socially relevant issues beyond the sunny side of Grünwald and Maximilianstrasse are [tackled] without ever getting lost in a general cultural pessimism." This, according to laudator Horst Seehofer , confirms Bavaria's much-praised "Liberalitas Bavariae".
Guest appearances
In 1994 Tatort inspectors Batic and Leitmayr made a guest appearance in Fluchten , the 471st episode on Lindenstrasse . On the occasion of the 300th episode of the crime scene, they appear with a UNICEF donation can in hand. Amélie von der Marwitz, a character from Lindenstrasse played by Anna Teluren , comments: “But you don't belong on this street at all. You are Commissioners Leitmayr and Batic. "
