The Jakubowski case - Reconstruction of a miscarriage of justice is a documentary television play penned by Robert Adolf Stemmle , who also directed. It was broadcast in two parts by ZDF in 1964 .

content

It describes the true case of the Polish worker Josef Jakubowski , who was arrested and charged at the end of 1924 for the murder of three-year-old Ewald Nogens. On the basis of dubious testimonies, Jakubowski was sentenced to death on March 26, 1925 and carried out on February 15, 1926 in the Neustrelitz-Strelitz State Institution . It was not until two years later that the crime and the accusations against Jakubowski turned out to be a plot by the entire Nogens family, and the case was reopened. Although the real murderer was finally convicted, there was never a reversal of the guilty verdict against Jakubowski.

Others

The first part, entitled "The Death Sentence", ran on October 7, 1964 and was 80 minutes long, the second part ("The Revision") was broadcast a day later and was 87 minutes long.

Once again, author and director Robert Adolf Stemmle dealt with a miscarriage of justice and the associated misjudgment against the accused. He had this already in 1948 with the Blum affair and in 1958 in the film You Confess, Dr. Corda! done. In 1963 he took on the unjustly convicted Maria Rohrbach with The Rohrbach case . 1970 was to be followed by right or wrong .

Artur Brauner and his company CCC-Film produced the two -part film . As early as 1959, the Jakubowski case was the subject of an episode of the TV episode series directed by Wolfgang Luderer , which was broadcast on German television .

The crime thriller homepage praises the "impressive reconstruction of a miscarriage of justice " and the "impressive portrayal of Friedrich Georg Beckhaus, who plays the innocent convicted with flying colors" .
