action

Village policeman Franz Eberhofer has high cholesterol levels due to regular consumption of meat loaf from Metzger Simmerl. Therefore, his grandma only eats healthy food. A nightmare for Franz, especially since he also suffers from a lack of sleep in addition to the withdrawal symptoms, after Susi obliges him to look after their son Paul, who is now almost one year old. Eberhofer wants to prove himself to be a good father to Susi, and with the help of his friends he seems to be able to do that to some extent. One night, however, his desire for Leberkäs rolls becomes too great, so that butcher Simmerl has to be roused from his sleep, whereupon he calls the troublemaker a “Leberkäsjunkie”.

In Niederkaltenkirchen itself, too, the idyll is badly clouded because the construction of a large hotel divides the community into capitalists (Flötzinger) and preservers of creation (Leopold); But at the latest when Liesl Mooshammer's house burns down and a corpse is found in it. Eberhofer's friend Rudi Birkenberger rushes to his aid to provide him with advice on education and nutrition and to support him in the investigation without being asked. The problem social neighbors of Mooshammer are initially under suspicion of murder, but can pass this on to the top player of FC Rot-Weiß Niederkaltenkirchen, Buengo, who can be shown to have stalked the murdered person. The estranged mother of the murdered woman also has a motive, since she is the sole heir of the considerable fortune, which does not prevent Eberhofer father from developing romantic feelings about the oppressed lady. Another lead leads to a well-heeled homosexual couple from Landshut; one of the two men, Konrad "Conny" Ziegler, had been a "soul mate" of the dead since his youth.

When after further investigations it turns out that Buengo is innocent (and he can be brought out of prison just in time for the local derby of the soccer team), the suspicion falls again on Conny Ziegler. During the interrogation by Rudi Birkenberger, it turns out that Ziegler caught his partner Raphael Schäfer and Saskia Grimm in flagranti and then murdered them. An arrest fails and Raphael Schäfer kills Conny Ziegler out of jealousy with a golf club and then wants to kill himself and the tied Birkenberger with the help of gas flowing from the stove. When Eberhofer arrives at the scene much later because of his poor physical condition, he can just prevent Birkenberger from being poisoned. Raphael Schäfer then wants to commit suicide by throwing himself out of the window, but ends up on an awning and is then arrested.

In the end, Eberhofer celebrates his son's first birthday with friends and family. A reconciliation between him and Susi is suggested.

Production and Background

Franz-Eberhofer-Kreisel in Frontenhausen

After Dampfnudelblues (2013), Winterkartoffelknödel (2014), Schweinskopf al dente (2016), Grießnockerlaffäre (2017) and Sauerkrautkoma (2018), Leberkäsjunkie is the sixth film adaptation of the Franz Eberhofer series based on the novels by Rita Falk . In the book series, Leberkäsjunkie is case number seven, in the film versions number six, the book plum plum conspiracy was skipped.

The shooting took place from mid-September to the end of October 2018. The filming location for the fictional village of Niederkaltenkirchen was Frontenhausen , where a roundabout was named after the main character Franz-Eberhofer-Kreisel in August 2018 . Other locations were the Dingolfinger Volksfest, the town square in Landshut and Munich .

The film was produced by Munich-based Constantin Film Produktion GmbH , Bayerischer Rundfunk and Degeto Film were involved, and the production was supported by FilmFernsehFonds Bayern . Christian Götz was responsible for the sound, Anette Ingerl for the production design and Aurora Hummer for the mask.

reception

The Passauer Neue Presse thinks that the quality of the film cannot follow the rather funny fifth part Sauerkrautkoma , and certainly not the Grießnockerlaffäre , the most successful Eberhofer film to date. The film has its best moments when the comic and the tragic combine. There are a good handful of such scenes. Then there are nice script ideas, which Ed Herzog usually implemented with a great sense of rhythm and humor. The well-known staff cultivate their bizarre and are lovingly interpreted by the regular actors. There are also wonderful guest appearances by Eva Mattes and Anica Dobra. However, the film as a whole is not really convincing, as these elements would not add up to a compelling overall work. The juxtaposition of funny, criminalistic, but also often just gruesome scenes turns out to be more of a number revue than a round crime comedy.

The star / spot on news quotes the statement of Munich's mayor Dieter Reiter at the premiere: "This is amusing, easy cinema and therefore exactly what one hopes for a summer evening" and says that the Eberhof thriller has succeeded once again -Cosmos to expand with a cinematic star. Those who like the films won't be disappointed. In Leberkäsjunkie, too, “every single scene is choreographed so lovingly and with such attention to detail that you would actually have to watch this film several times to discover everything.”

Franco Schedl says on film.at that the film is "a special highlight of the Eberhofer series". On the one hand you feel as if you have returned to old acquaintances, on the other hand the plot "full of sneaky laconicism and Bavarian vilification can unfold particularly well this time, since there are no disturbing excursions to the city of Munich as in the last part of Sauerkrautkoma ". The characters were given plenty of opportunities to fondle and cultivate their various quirks and quirks.

Reinhard J. Brembeck judges in the Süddeutsche Zeitung that this film adaptation of Rita Falk's books is the best so far, "which is mainly due to one woman: the elemental actress Eva Mattes."

In Das Erste, 5.27 million viewers saw the film when it was first broadcast; the market share was 18.8 percent.
