Oberinspektor Marek was an Austrian crime series that was broadcast on Austrian television by ORF from 1963 to 1970.

content

The individual episodes take place in Police Station 24 of the Vienna Criminal Police and tell of cases in which Chief Inspector Marek and his team are investigating.

The series originally came from Friedrich Redl, the last four episodes then wrote the main actor Fritz Eckhardt . The individual episodes were recorded in a studio, which contributed to the chamber play-like character of the series. In addition to Fritz Eckhardt as Viktor Marek in the leading role, Kurt Jaggberg played the role of district inspector Otto Wirz from the start. From 1971 the series was continued as an Austrian contribution to the Tatort series until 1983 , with Eckhardt continuing to write the scripts for the episodes.

In 1987, four years after the last Marek crime scene, the character appeared as a guest role in the ORF crime scene episode " The Last Mord ", also written by Eckhardt . Another five years later, in 1992, Eckhardt investigated one last time as Marek in the crime thriller "Mord im Wald", which, however, was produced and broadcast as a single piece.
