The Essen commissioner Heinz Haferkamp was the main investigator in 20 episodes of the WDR for the ARD crime series Tatort between 1974 and 1980 . The fictional character was embodied by the actor Hansjörg Felmy, who died in 2007 . Haferkamp's assistant was Willi Kreutzer, played by Willy Semmelrogge . Haferkamp was represented in two episodes towards the end.

In 2008, 28 years after his last case, Kriminaloberkommissar Heinz Haferkamp was voted third among all crime scene commissioners in a popularity poll carried out by Emnid on the occasion of the 700th program in the series . According to WDR information, Felmy received 30,000 D-Marks per crime scene episode, so his fee was higher than that of the other television inspectors. After leaving WDR, he was replaced by Götz George as Chief Detective Horst Schimanski .

role

According to the private website tatort-fundus.de , the role of Heinz Haferkamp is that of the first Tatort inspector, who is known to be a team of several ( Georg Feil , Werner Kleiß , Philippe Pilliod , Peter Scheibler , Oliver Storz and Karl Heinz Willschrei ) had put "Reflections on the character of this commissioner" on paper in October 1972, even before a script was written. In the corresponding text there is “in addition to the definition of a melancholy attitude to life and the particular tenacity of the investigator, for example the idea that a 'somewhat bumbling guy' could be his assistant and the 'ex-wife' is also considered as part of the biography . "Hansjörg Felmy himself pointed out in an interview that" an attempt had already been made in the development of the characters to give Haferkamp a bit of personal background so that the inspector would be interesting for the audience not just as an investigator, but as a person. " his passion, however, meatballs "had he thought of it, because they do, simply lovable, liveable [...] human".

Achim Neubauer described in tatort-fundus.de the role characteristics of Kriminalhauptkommissar Haferkamp, ​​who works in the 1st Commissariat “homicides” at the Essen criminal investigation department, as born in the early 1930s “through the war and post-war period in his values ". With his “unbalanced mixture of aloofness and empathy, he bites into the examinations, thinks complex and is ready to go beyond the legal requirements for the success of the investigation.” He does not like teamwork; rather Haferkamp makes "often headstrong, lonely decisions". He and his assistant Willi Kreutzer have a friendly, often almost friendly relationship, "but Haferkamp clearly shows the limits." Dealing with his boss Karl Scheffner ( Bernd Schäfer ) is "disrespectful"; he provides him "sometimes only with a minimum of information" and is not afraid to "approach him head-on in the service meetings with critical, even ironic remarks". Haferkamp also lives divorced; the marriage with his childhood sweetheart Ingrid Haferkamp ( Karin Eickelbaum ) “failed because he was simply not able to separate business and private matters. Haferkamp, ​​who initiated the divorce, thinks back to the years of marriage full of sentimentality - actually he still loves Ingrid - and sometimes he no longer understands why the separation came about in the first place. ”Nevertheless, he still has a good relationship with her and meets her often: "The two apparently still sleep together, go to the museum together, go on vacation to Italy together [...]" Nevertheless, Ingrid is always outraged, "when she notices that these joint ventures are run by her ex -Mann be connected to official investigations ”and a“ coexistence does not work ”.

TV Spielfilm described Felmy's role as Haferkamp "even among the average civil servants in the Federal Republic" as "the most inconspicuous" and asked the rhetorical question whether he was "a bore through and through". As a man with a “well-groomed appearance, correct manners” he appears “terribly self-controlled”, yet Haferkamp is “a level-headed analyst, his temperament seldom got away with him”. But he is still “no office idiot” for a long time; He liked to go “sometimes unusual ways to solve a case and resort to dubious methods” and seemed to be “at peace with himself, the world and above all with his ex-wife.” That he was still brooding and sitting alone in his apartment, “was lying In his job, of course. ”There was hardly a case“ in which passion did not lead to murder or enormous financial shortages of once wealthy people to acts of desperation, which in turn carved Weltschmerz into the face of the Essen commissioner. ”

In the Hamburger Abendblatt, Paul Barz described the role of Haferkamp as a "previously unseen criminal type". He was not a “better elderly gentleman like the NDR-Trimmel ” or Inspector Keller on ZDF, “whose police deployment in the Nazi era should not be asked too urgently”. He was too young for that, "without illusions, with a failed marriage behind him, from which he still did not want to give up completely, severely scratched by life in every respect." With him came a new "squad of commissioners", the "more sober, harder" and " less self-love ”.
