Investigation location Dortmund ( NRW )

The detective chief inspectors Peter Faber , played by Jörg Hartmann , and Martina Bönisch , played by Anna Schudt , are fictional people in the episodes of the crime series Tatort , who have been playing in Dortmund since 2012 and are responsible for the Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR). Until the end of 2020, Commissioner Nora Dalay , played by Aylin Tezel , will also be part of the team. High Commissioner Daniel Kossik , played by Stefan Konarske , resigned in 2018, and in his place was the investigator Jan Pawlak, played by Rick Okon .

After Essen (1974–80) and Duisburg (1981–91), Dortmund has been the third city in the Ruhr area since 2012 to be investigated in the crime scene series. What is unusual for the crime scene in the films about the Dortmund team is the "horizontal narrative style" in which individual storylines extend over several episodes.

characters

Peter Faber

Jörg Hartmann as Peter Faber

Peter Faber, who was born in Dortmund in the mid-1960s and grew up there too, left the city in 1987 around the time when the last mine there was closed. After he had been chief of the murder commission in Lübeck for about ten years as chief detective , he returned to his hometown to take over the management of the homicide. Faber lost his wife and daughter in a traffic accident, which marked and changed him. He tries to control his depression with an antidepressant , but always has serious freaks.

Faber lives in a skyscraper, although he doesn't care what it looks like in his apartment, which one colleague described as “as if a bum lived there”. Parcels that were forwarded to him from Lübeck lie around unopened in his apartment for a long time. Faber doesn't care about how he looks, nor does he care what he eats. He seems to be wearing his old parka around the clock. The commissioner drives a silver Saab 900 .

In order not to have to deal with the loss of his family, Faber's life focuses on his job, which alone gives him a little support and now and then steers his thoughts in a different direction. At first he often clashes with his new colleagues Nora Dalay and Daniel Kossik. They indirectly resent him that their colleague Bönisch, whom they hold dear, was not put in charge of the homicide squad. You will only find out at a later date that Martina Bönisch was actually the first choice for the vacant position but turned it down. Because Faber cannot work well in a team, he does not tolerate contradiction and expects his instructions to be followed without contradiction, there is always friction , especially between him and the young superintendent Kossik, who is a master of provocation .

Faber's way of trying to put himself into the psyche of an offender also takes getting used to. Together with colleague Martina Bönisch, who acts as a counterpart, both speak out loud the suspected thoughts of the perpetrator and the victim. In the chief inspector he found the ideal counterpart professionally. He first has to work hard to work with other colleagues, with whom he is known as a puke.

In the fourth episode, Forever Yours , it becomes clear that the wife and daughter's traffic accident was an assassination attempt. Markus Graf, the son of a man whom Faber put behind bars many years ago, is behind the crime. After Faber succeeded in convicting Graf and had him arrested, after some time he prepared his escape. In rabies , he manages this with a clever and at the same time perfidious plan. From now on, Faber's endeavors are to grab Markus Graf, who finally succeeds in Monster .

Martina Bönisch

Anna Schudt as Martina Bönisch

Chief Detective Martina Bönisch, who has been working for the Dortmund homicide commission for some time, was offered the position of head of the homicide commission when the position became vacant. However, she refused. Bönisch was born in the early 1970s and has two children aged 16 and 12. While on duty, she manages household and family life over the phone, so she very often receives private calls. The fact that her husband is unemployed complicates her private situation. Bönisch visits a call boy several times, who tries to blackmail her in the episode Forever Yours .

The commissioner is a very tough woman who does not necessarily always investigate the scene herself, but prefers to put herself in the shoes of the victim in order to gain access to the perpetrator, with whom Faber deals more intensively. This dialogue between the two often leads to the resolution of their cases.

It is Bönisch who mediates when there are conflicts between the loner Faber and the impetuous Kossik that strain the teamwork. She makes it clear to both sides that she does not want to and cannot tolerate such behavior and that clarifying a case must have priority.

Nora Dalay

Aylin Tezel as Nora Dalay

Born in Dortmund in the mid-1980s, Nora Dalay comes from a German-Turkish family. She lives in the Nordstadt, a social hotspot in Dortmund, and is committed to better conditions for the people living there. With a lot of ambition, she has already made it to the position of chief detective. She is a very committed police officer who always keeps an eye on her career, keeps herself physically fit and does not avoid any task.

Dalay has fallen in love with her colleague Daniel Kossik, who reciprocates her feelings, but is not sure whether it is good to combine private life and work so closely. That's why she tries to keep the connection secret first. Martina Bönisch's warning, who immediately saw through the relationship between the two, also made her think. In the episode Forever Yours, the relationship falls into a deep crisis because Dalay is pregnant. Against Kossik's will, she opts for an abortion that breaks the relationship. Subsequently, Hydra , she is attacked by neo-Nazis. The brutal attack hits her where it hurts twice: “Just on the part of her body where her embryo grew months ago, there is now a huge swastika emblazoned”, says Rainer Tittelbach.

Dalay, who suffers from panic attacks, was given over to the anti-Faber part after Kossik's departure. "First it was the son who rebelled against the father, now the daughter is rehearsing the uprising and threatens to leave the parental home as well", describes Tittelbach Dalay's idea of ​​following Kossik to the LKA. “At the end of the day she enjoyed the role of dad's darling. Now Nora seems to have a guilty conscience towards Daniel and therefore takes on his role on behalf of him. "

The actress Aylin Tezel has announced that the character Nora Dalay will leave the crime scene at the end of 2020.

Daniel Kossik

Stefan Konarske as Daniel Kossik

He chose the fan anthem “Borussia Dortmund, you are our life” for his mobile phone. The Chief Commissioner knows his way around Dortmund better than most of his colleagues. He's a rather laid-back guy who doesn't spend a lot of time talking about the bush.

It is Kossik who has the greatest difficulties with his new boss Peter Faber, for him he is a "psycho". He is particularly resentful of Faber for ordering missions without taking into account a fairly regular evening or whether BVB home games are scheduled. He is in love with his colleague Nora Dalay, but their relationship falls apart.

As a result storm is known that he wants to be put to LKA Dusseldorf. However, he is subsequently seriously injured by several bullets - the viewer only learns after the episode rabies that he survived and actually went to Düsseldorf.
