content
In the documentary fiction, for the first time, two detective officers on German television who were released from the police force specifically for this series . Chief Detective Cornelia “Conny” Niederig from the Recklinghausen Criminal Police Department and Chief Detective Bernhard “Bernie” Kuhnt from the Duisburg Detective Police solve fictitious criminal cases in this series. They are alternately supported by various other commissioners in the investigation work. The series immediately achieved an audience rating of 21.9% among 14 to 49-year-old viewers, surpassing the Lenßen & Partner model . Since the quotas remained consistently high, the program was given a permanent daily slot; on November 29, 2005, the 500th episode was broadcast on April 24, 2008, the 1000th episode.
The series tries to recreate the real working life of the police. But similar to Lenßen & Partner , all cases are fictional and the reality of the police work depicted is controversial. The series is set in Duisburg , and the show was produced in Hürth near Cologne . The studio part was shot in the local NOBEO studios, the outside parts in and around Cologne and Hürth. The format was developed and produced by the Cologne-based film and television production company filmpool . In the adjoining studios a.o. a. the Sat.1 / filmpool formats Zwei at Kallwass and judge Barbara Salesch .
In order to be able to answer numerous questions about the series, the Duisburg police had set up a special forum on their web presence, which has since been discontinued due to the rapidly decreasing use.
As of May 30, 2012, the series was converted to the documentation type, in which a speaker accompanies the entire case and describes situations. In addition, since then the film has been shot on location with a tracking camera and no longer in a fixed studio setting.
