Horst Schimanski is a fictional character from the ARD television series Tatort , in which from June 28, 1981, he served in 29 episodes (including two movies) as chief detective in Duisburg . Schimanski was portrayed by the Berlin actor Götz George (1938-2016).
After a break from 1991 to 1997, he returned to regular action in an independent crime series Schimanski until 2013. In a popularity poll carried out by Emnid in 2008 on the occasion of the 700th broadcast in the series, Schimanski was voted first among all crime scene commissioners.
figure
The character Schimanski was designed by the scriptwriters Bernd Schwamm and Martin Gies as well as the director Hajo Gies and the actor Götz George . His trademark was his beige-gray M65 field jacket , since then also known colloquially as the “Schimanski jacket”.
Chief Inspector Schimanski marked a turning point in the line of straightforward crime scene inspectors (with the exception of Kressin ). For the first time a detective was shown who had no daily rhythm, who cursed, flogged, drank more than alcohol in moderation, made currywurst a staple and disclosed his stories about women without hesitation. He portrayed a man influenced by the 1968 movement who, in his own way, was still rebelling against the generation of the Nazi era . He also often mobilized against xenophobic prejudices and cultivated friendly relationships with so-called guest workers , which, from the point of view of his bosses, made him a specialist in criminal cases in this milieu. He was joined by the well-dressed chief detective Thanner (an old school officer) and later by the Dutchman Hänschen (as a personification of western foreign countries).
The media quickly pounced on him. Some condemned it as " Ruhrpott - Rambo ", others praised it as a breath of fresh air in the dusty ARD broadcasters. He has even been compared to James Bond . Schimanski became the Germans' action hero for a generation that instead of war and obedience only knew peace and consumption. For ten years he investigated and made faecal language , in particular the word “ shit ” socially acceptable, so that in 1991 Bild even counted its frequency. After his era, attempts were made to find successors who would investigate like him. At least Horst Schimanski has changed the image of the “television commissioner” in Germany a lot.
Career
The character Schimanski was born in Stettin in 1938 (episode Up to the Neck in the Dirt) and is therefore the same age as Götz George. This age coincides with his age of 60 years in the following siblings from 1998. In the following Zabou , however, it is claimed that he was born in 1943 in Breslau . He was born in 1948 as a result of Mother's Day . In Berlin Filmmuseum an identity card is issued as a movie prop, alleging Schimanski was born in Duisburg on August 11 1947th According to a registrar, his full name at the beginning of the episode Children of Hell is Horst Karl Georg Schimanski.
The rest of the biography also varies frequently. Schimanski grew up without a father in the simplest of circumstances in a working-class district in Duisburg- Homberg , lived at times on a farm and also in a children's home. According to The Girl on the Stairs , his father died in the war. To a large extent, Götz George's own biography flowed into Schimanski's life path.
From episodes like Freunde (1986) it is known that Schimanski almost got off the rails. Königsberg once mentioned during an arrest the suspicion that Schimanski was the accomplice in a car theft. Nevertheless, he advised Schimanski to pursue a career as a police officer. In Blood Brothers and Asylum in the new series, this is also partially confirmed.
In the novel “Schimanski”, Felix Huby unfolds a biography that differs fundamentally from the crime scenes. According to this, Schimanski's father Georg left his family after the war. At the end of the 1960s, Schimanski briefly studied law, but dropped out during the political student unrest in order to take part in street fighting.
After leaving the police force in 1991, Schimanski emigrated to Belgium. There he met his partner Marie-Claire ( Denise Virieux ), lived on a houseboat and worked as a boxing trainer. After Thanner was murdered in 1997, Schimanski was called back to Duisburg for the first time by the Düsseldorf public prosecutor's office. As a freelance investigator, he was supposed to solve the murder of Thanner. Schimanski has been living in Duisburg again since 2006.
Recurring minor characters
Chief Detective Inspector Christian Thanner
Thanner was Schimanski's partner (according to the episode Moltke ) since 1977 and died in the episode Die Schwadron (1997) after a cement mixer truck knocked him down in the phone booth . The role was played from 1981 to 1991 by Eberhard Feik . Since Feik died in 1994, Thanner had to die serial death in the first new Schimanski series episode (by means of a double). Thanner was the exact opposite of Schimanski. He adhered to service regulations almost meticulously and often argued with Schimanski. At first he portrayed a friend, Sylvia, mostly as a teacher. In the episode Der Tausch , he even dares to go to the disco in a leather dress . In the movies he seemed a little more determined or was seen wearing a fashionable hat ( zabou ) .
Chief Detective Karl Koenigsberg
Königsberg was Schimanski and Thanner's supervisor from 1981 to 1988 . He was married and sometimes helped them out of a tight spot or defended them from higher authorities. His employees called him Klops (based on Königsberger Klopse ). He has to suspend Schimanski several times. In the episode The Schimanski Case , he even helps him by referring him to a friend as a bodyguard . Karl Königsberg reappeared in the episode Schimanski must suffer in the new series, where he died of cancer on his birthday in the hospital in Hamburg . It was played by Ulrich Matschoss .
Schubert
Assistant Schubert was played twice by Michael Lesch in 1981 . He did the background work for the Schimanski-Thanner duo before Hänschen joined them. In the first episode Duisburg-Ruhrort he is reprimanded by Thanner for wanting to use the service weapon in an attempt to escape.
Little boy
The character Hänschen (actually Hans Scherpenzeel) is a Dutch police officer who was actually loaned to the German police in Duisburg, but then became Schimanski's second permanent colleague. He is portrayed by Chiem van Houweninge . He joined in 1982 in the episode The Invisible Opponent and developed into a background investigator who sometimes has to work night shifts. On-call services are also gladly transferred to him. Schimanski rates him as reliable and falls back on him when he has fallen out with Thanner again. In the nineties he switched to Interpol. From there he came back to Duisburg in 1999 as a result of Sehnsucht and, as chief inspector, was responsible for the murder investigation together with Hunger. As an old hand, he often had to struggle with back problems and tried to do his job in a now calmer channel until he retired.
Judge Kissling
Kissling was present twice at the police station as a representative for Königsberg from 1981 to 1985. He is an absolute opponent of police officers like Schimanski and tried to integrate his investigative methods into service regulations. He was portrayed by Werner Schwuchow , who was often seen alongside Götz George, for example, in From a German Life or later in the Schulz & Schulz films.
Dr. Born
Similar to Kissling, he tried to master Schimanski's rough investigation methods with service regulations and warnings. Most of the time he appeared in the inspectors' office and mostly knew better than they how to solve the case. As a result, stuffed animals , however, he showed compassion for Schimanskis suspension. He was portrayed by Christoph Hofrichter in the Tatort episodes from 1982. Hofrichter embodied a similar, somewhat more comic-based role in Didi and the revenge of the disinherited as Langenhagen.
shepherd
The shepherd character was introduced in 1987. In the film Zabou , Schäfer was played by Dieter Pfaff . In the movie, Schäfer is a longtime colleague of Schimanski's strip, in the Tatort episodes ( portrayed by Ludger Pistor ) a beginner who has never seen a corpse . Schäfer is a shy officer who always stands between Schimanski's intuition and Thanner's accuracy.
Chief Detective Ossmann
After Königsberg retired in 1988, Chief Detective Ossmann von der Sitte was put before the two investigators as chief. Ossmann, played by Gerhard Olschewski , has little idea of the investigation methods used by the homicide squad and as a result sends both of them blood trail on the hunt for a sex offender who assaults children, which is beyond their scope of investigation. Due to a misunderstanding observation (he greets his son with a kiss), the investigators initially even believe that he is homosexual . He was later transferred to Cologne . From 1990 onwards, Schimanski and Thanner investigate without a supervisor.
Senior Public Prosecutor Ilse Bonner
With the start of the new Schimanski series in 1997, Ilse Bonner is a public prosecutor from Düsseldorf who also has to solve serious cases in the Duisburg area. She is played by Geno Lechner and acts like a teacher to Schimanski. She can always dodge his advances skillfully, and he sometimes gets a slap in the face. She was replaced after three episodes.
Warriors and Scholl
Bonner and later also Schäfer, the duo Krieger ( Matthias Redlhammer ) and Scholl ( Robert Viktor Minich ), who Schimanski cannot stand because of their mostly arrogant and at the same time naive manner, are the executing officers . The two characters disappeared from the series in 1999.
Tobias Schrader
Schrader (played by Steffen Wink ) was Schimanski's assigned colleague who was supposed to be exposed as a corrupt police officer in the first episode, Die Schwadron , which turned out to be wrong. He was the smart and young opposite of Schimanski with a laptop and mobile phone as a symbol of modern police work. The aim was to create a counterpoint to Schimanski's old colleague Thanner, who had completely different characteristics. Steffen Wink had too high a fee and got out after five episodes.
Senior Public Prosecutor Julia Schäfer
She was Ilse Bonner's successor as a public prosecutor. Introduced as a result of Mother's Day , it also had a certain attraction to Schimanski. Later, however, hunger developed feelings for her (Schimanski has to suffer) , which she blocked with skillful charm. She was played by Suzanne von Borsody from 1998 to 2000 .
Thomas Hunger
Originally, the figure (as the successor to Schrader) of Chief Detective Hunger was introduced as an official of the state security. He has been played by Julian Weigend since 1999 . He later became a homicide investigator with the Duisburg police and a colleague of Hänschen. He is a rather casual civil servant who always wanted to draw Schimanski's attention to the changes of today. At first he maintains regular friendships, but later his love luck leaves him , and he even looked for it on the Internet (The Secret of the Golem) . He also loves Asian culture and often annoyed Schimanski and others with Asian proverbs.
Police environment
Since the action takes place in Duisburg, it was mainly ensured that the vehicles and uniforms correspond to those of the North Rhine-Westphalian police . In some episodes (e.g. in Der Tausch ) you can see that some scenes were shot in Munich at Bavaria Film . The police vehicles are suddenly equipped with Bavarian police colors (white with green stripes) and are of the model ( BMW 5 Series ). From the beginning until 1989, the officers, whom Schimanski also affectionately calls Trachtengruppe , as well as Schimanski and Thanner themselves, are equipped with an M1911 (BGS P51 / 52) from Colt (Bruni ME8 General Replicas from Cuno Melcher , Solingen), which is unusual for German police conditions , but later also with the former Walther PPK police model . In 1989 this changed and Thanner was equipped with a P225 from SIG-Sauer, while Schimanski still relied on the old weapon. But after the start of the new series in 1997, it is also equipped with the standard weapon.
Thanner and Schimanski's company vehicles, on the other hand, change more often. With Thanner, however, a structure can be recognized. He started with a Ford Taunus , got a Ford Granada in 1982 and a Ford Scorpio in 1985 . From 1988 to 1991 he switched between Japanese and Swedish brands such as Subaru (blood trail) , Saab 9000 or Volvo 760 . There is also an Audi ( Katja's silence ) . Schimanski either drives Thanner's car or different vehicles such as Ford Sierra ( Miriam ) or Alfa Romeo ( Black Weekend ) until 1985. With the first film, Tooth for A tooth , he receives his silver Citroën CX (1974–1985 series), which is twice in the color changes (CX GTi Turbo, first black, then wine red) or is replaced by the successor Citroën XM (1991). Since around 1999 a CX (series 1985–1991) has been available again, in order to establish a connection to the old Tatort episodes as a trademark.

DVD publications
All 17 TV films produced between 1997 and 2013 were released on October 19, 2016 on 9 DVDs as "Schimanski - The Complete Collection" by EuroVideo. On November 4, 2016, the Icestorm Group, in cooperation with ARD, released all 27 Tatort episodes produced between 1981 and 1991 on 14 DVDs in the "Schimanski Investigator Box". EuroVideo had already produced the two films "Tooth for Tooth" and "Zabou" in 2008 as single DVDs.
Horst-Schimanski-Gasse
After several attempts, the responsible district council of the city of Duisburg decided in March 2014 to name a small, previously unnamed street in the Ruhrort district that was used as a location for one of the crime thrillers, Horst-Schimanski-Gasse . The naming was preceded by a lengthy debate, as according to the Duisburg city administration, public streets or squares are generally not allowed to be named after fictitious and copyrighted figures or people who are still alive. The original proposal to name it as Schimmi-Gasse was rejected because it was not possible to clarify who owns the rights to the term “Schimmi” and it could be confused with the former national soccer player Horst Szymaniak .
