Polizeiruf 110 is a German-language crime film series that has been produced on German television (DFF; 1972–1990: Television of the GDR) since 1971 and, after the DFF was dissolved, was continued by various ARD organizations from 1993 onwards . The police call 110 was broadcast for the first time on June 27, 1971 in the DFF as a counterpart to the West German crime scene and quickly developed into a public favorite in the GDR. After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the television series established itself in the German television landscape. In 2011 it achieved an average market share of 16 percent in the target group of viewers aged three and over (median: 14.7 percent).

The police call in the GDR (1971–1989)

Logo until 2019

There was no permanent team of investigators in the episodes produced by GDR television; the composition of the active criminologists was largely random and without a pattern. The connecting element, however, was that in episodes in which Oberleutnant or Captain Fuchs participated, he was always the chief investigator. The reason for this discontinuity is given by the literature that the individual actors sometimes had very time-consuming other obligations, such as Peter Borgelt at the Deutsches Theater . Therefore, the police call sequences were deliberately written in such a way that the individual investigators were not necessarily determined, but could easily be exchanged for one another. Because of this, the private life of the investigators was rarely part of the act of a police call . Exceptions here were z. B. The Consequences 32 A Case Without Witnesses , 55 Guilty and 107 No two days are the same .

Regardless of the investigators, the locations were spread across the entire GDR from the Baltic Sea to the Ore Mountains. They were never explicitly specified or mentioned by name, but could sometimes be deduced from the circumstances. This constellation of a supraregional investigation group did not agree with the criminalistic reality in the GDR, at least for cases of simple crime.

Various crimes, large and small, were picked up, including topics such as alcoholism, child abuse and rape. Unlike today's crime thrillers, in which homicides are investigated almost exclusively, the investigators at Police Call 110 in all districts of the GDR mainly dealt with the more frequent and less serious crimes such as burglary, extortion, fraud, theft and juvenile delinquency. In contrast to the crime scene , which clearly focuses on the main police characters and also depicts their private life, the police investigative work was more in the foreground in the earlier Polizeiruf films. The scriptwriters attached particular importance to the portrayal of the perpetrator and his psyche as well as the background to the crime. Lurid action sequences, on the other hand, were rare.

The police call was one of the programs on GDR television in which problems and grievances were openly addressed - albeit with an educational character. After Biermann was expatriated in 1976, when GDR television was more politically controlled, some police call sequences that had already been produced had to be shortened, in some cases significantly, B. The loner .

Basically, the scriptwriters and the directors on the police call had more opportunities to e.g. B. Address social criticism. This often took the form of speech and counter-speech: the criminal carried out his anti-societal point of view and sometimes even justified it in a somewhat understandable manner, but immediately a citizen loyal to the system, built up as a sympathizer, answered him and took the opposite point of view. Specialist advisors from the Ministry of the Interior (MdI) , to which the German People's Police was also subordinate, ensured that the content, e.g. B. in linguistic terms, remained system-compliant and the criminalists were presented in such a way that they largely corresponded to the official ideal. With a few exceptions in the late 1980s, the police officers were shown neither smoking nor drinking alcohol and were not shown in casual clothes.

A common motive - especially on the perpetrator's side - was alcohol abuse , which was a major social problem in GDR times, but was usually only addressed in a very mild way in the media. Alcohol was portrayed as one of the causes of the criminal development, although it was never used as an excuse.

In the crossword puzzle case of 1988, one of the most famous criminal cases in GDR history, the sexual abuse known as the crossword puzzle murder and the murder of seven-year-old Lars Bense in 1981 in Halle-Neustadt , was traced almost authentically.

The police call had several opening credits until 1989. In the first few films, at the beginning of the opening credits, you see a telephone on which the emergency number 110 is dialed; then you can see an operations center where a man takes the emergency call. This is followed by shots of a police car, a sniffer dog and the investigative work of the police is shown as an example. In contrast to the later opening credits, the title Polizeiruf 110 was still written out and the actors of the investigators were listed by name. After a few episodes, the music was exchanged, but the images were still used. With the first color sequence, Faces in Twilight , there was also a new opening credits, with music by Hartmut Behrsing . At the beginning you can see several emergency vehicles leaving the headquarters. This is followed by recordings of investigators Arndt, Fuchs, Hübner and Subras in action. Some of the opening credits were also used in the following black-and-white episodes and could be seen until 1980. The series title is no longer given in full; you can only see the numbers 110 . In 1981 new title music was introduced, which was in turn composed by Hartmut Behrsing and which was retained at the DFF until the end of the series with minimal changes. The opening credits begin with several emergency vehicles that are on the road with blue lights. Different sequences follow in which the investigators can be seen at work. At first you see Oberleutnant Bergmann next to Arndt, Fuchs and Huebner; in later episodes Grawe and Zimmermann. Here, too, with the exception of the crossover episode Unter Brüdern , only the numbers 110 were faded in.

The turning point (1989–1991)

Like no other series, the police call reflected the time of reunification in the GDR, although only three films ( Unter Brüdern , Das Duell and Thanner's new job ) make direct reference to the events. In most cases, the changes have been built into the films inconspicuously: A party slogan hangs crookedly on the wall in Death by Electricity and the preferred housing construction in the GDR capital is criticized. In Destroyed Hope, Hübner replied to two teachers that he could well imagine that a person can only take up a profession based on their abilities and not on the basis of their convictions - a statement that was only possible after Honecker was dismissed . “Association crime”, right-wing extremism and social problems after German reunification were also discussed. In some films, however, the plot no longer suited the situation in the GDR at the time. Therefore, by fading in the action time, it was sometimes indicated that the story took place before the fall of the Wall in the GDR ( death by electric current ). The plot of the then new films sometimes seemed anachronistic due to the rapid social change and was already outdated just a few weeks after the shooting when it was first broadcast.

As of Allianz für Knete , the investigators have new ranks corresponding to the West German civil servants, and the impending appointment to civil servant status is mentioned more frequently in subordinate clauses (e.g. death in the park ).

In Unter Brüdern , for the first time, two West German ( crime scene ) inspectors play a decisive role, but the police call investigators still had the reins firmly in their hands and made their own decisions in their field. However, the film does not do without clichés: Fuchs is - completely untypical for him - drunk when he arrives in the West and gives Schimanski and Thanner a brotherly kiss (in the GDR this was completely unusual , except for meetings between high-ranking politicians from the Eastern Bloc ). Thanner also calls the GDR a “zone” and the medal is awarded at the end of the film. In this film, the police call criminalists are clearly separated from the employees of the MfS . The MfS Colonel Dörfler ( Ulrich Thein ) depicts the old GDR, which is being pinned down by the renewed, in the form of Fuchs. There is also this clear demarcation in Das Duell (Beck and Böhme versus MfS Colonel Reuter), which is intended to enable the police call commissioners to transition to unified Germany. The measures of the MfS in autumn '89 are, among other things. sharply criticized by Beck. It is also shown how the police, in the shape of Beck, have to adapt to the new times and the new understanding of civil rights. It may z. B. Witnesses are no longer simply “brought in”; the investigators now have to visit them personally ("... how should we work like that?"). The duel is one of the few films in which the events of autumn 1989 are dealt with from the perspective of the democratized GDR.

Thanner's new job provides an all-German view for the first time. With Thanner, the GDR investigators get a West German superior who, however, appears very prudent. The old GDR is dealt with using the example of the old superior Fuchs, who was still allowed to represent the progressive GDR in Unter Brüdern . He is no longer the head of the task force and he no longer has any power over the juvenile offenders, but is humiliated by them. At the end of the film he resigns without comment and in resignation, knowing that he has become superfluous in the new state.

In the years of change, the opening credits of the Polizeiruf films were again modified several times: From 1989, Hartmut Behrsing's theme music was slightly changed. This version was kept when a completely new opening credits were created in 1991. In keeping with the fashion, typical GDR things disappeared almost completely: You only see cars from the Federal Republic of Germany and all GDR symbols have been removed. However, the opening credits were not used consistently, so that the old one could be seen again and again. Sometimes the old opening credits were combined with new pictures from the respective episodes and the helicopter of the People's Police was replaced by a more modern West German helicopter or other scenes.

The police call since 1991

When the DFF was dissolved after the end of the GDR on December 31, 1991, a continuation of the police call was initially questionable after the first two films by the new commissioners Ehrlicher and Kain , which were still produced by the DFF, as films by the West German counterpart Tatort were broadcast. In 1993, however, due to the pan-German success of old Polizeiruf films, the series was brought back to life after a one and a half year break. First the new ARD stations MDR and ORB as well as the NDR , which replaced the DFF in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, produced new police call episodes. The ORB films were initially produced together with the SFB . Since 1993, the first broadcast has usually taken place on Sundays in the first, alternating with the crime scene .

While the MDR initially relied on the previous criminalists Beck , Raabe , Grawe and Hübner , new teams ( Voigt / Hoffmann and Groth / Hinrichs ) were deployed in the ORB / SFB and NDR , but they certainly had a GDR past. In 1996, the MDR then introduced new commissioners for the first time with Schmücke and Schneider . In 1997, Günter Naumann (Beck) was the last investigator who was already on duty during the GDR era. In the meantime, all “Nachwende” investigators have retired: Hinrichs (31 cases in 15 years) and the Schmücke and Schneider team with 50 assignments in 17 years have been on the job the longest .

Productions by West German and Austrian TV stations were added relatively quickly; all but the BR have since dropped out. Today, each of the regional broadcasters producing, currently MDR, RBB (merged ORB and SFB), BR and NDR, has its own team of investigators, each of which is determined in the area of ​​responsibility of the broadcaster and is usually tied to a city.

The concept of the new police calls is similar to the crime scene series; Murders are now treated as an essential crime, but in contrast to the scene of the crime, other crimes are often investigated (especially in the films of the NDR and ORB or RBB).

In 1993, Hartmut Behrsing's old signature melody was still used in the opening credits. But now scenes from the current episodes were shown. This variant was replaced together with the theme music after a few films. In the new opening credits with the music of Peter Gotthardt, one initially saw strongly alienated scenes of a city. Then faces were put together from photos of different people and then a stylized fingerprint was turned into an implied labyrinth, the ARD logo and finally the series title.

From episode 204 (1998) a completely new opening credits were used: Action scenes from different episodes were seen again, and the title melody was replaced by a new composition by Freddy Gigele . Ten years later the opening credits were modernized a little: The episode excerpts disappeared and new material was created especially for the opening credits. In addition, the music was arranged differently. In 2019 the opening credits were completely renewed. Freddy Gigele's music was only varied again, however, and has thus established a certain continuity since 1998. The police call now has nine different opening credits, some of which differ greatly from one another (both image and music) and, in contrast to the crime scene , limit the recognizability.

Repetitions and lost episodes

The police call episodes have been repeated irregularly in various third programs on ARD and on 3sat since the fall of the Wall . Some films are considered lost or only exist in fragments:

  • Episode 2 Die Schrottwaage (1971) is only available in fragments with a total length of 15 minutes.
  • Episode 3 The Mask (1972) is completely lost .
  • Episode 33 The Specialist (1975) is currently only available without sound and can therefore not be broadcast.
  • The episode Im Alter von ... (inspired by the Erwin Hagedorn case ), filmed in 1974 and destroyed except for the unaudited camera negative by order of the program managers of GDR television , was dubbed in 2011 by the MDR. Since most of the actors at the time had died or sounded too old, they were spoken to by current and former police officers and investigators . It was first broadcast on June 23, 2011 and was seen by 1.89 million viewers.
  • Another episode, Rosis Mann (working title: The second employment ), with the investigative team Captain Fuchs and Lieutenant Lutz Zimmermann, was from March 11 to April 30, 1984 by DEFA and others. Filmed in Berlin and the surrounding area as well as in Magdeburg and also produced fully broadcastable. The film was originally scheduled to air in 1984. However, since three actors left illegally for West Germany after the shooting was over, but before the scheduled broadcast date, the entire film was apparently destroyed.

Temporarily blocked episode

Although the supervisory bodies of the ARD criticized the Police Call 110 episode on Saturdays when there is war (SDR) after it was first broadcast on September 18, 1994 because of the excessive portrayal of violence, the episode was repeated several times on television until 2002. The episode was blocked by the TV director of SWR on December 27, 2006 because of the misinterpretation of violence, the subjective impression of proximity to right-wing extremist and National Socialist ideas and sometimes extreme brutality. On January 16, 2016, the SWR broadcast the episode again.

miscellaneous

There were occasional small crossovers between the police call and other GDR television productions . In 1974, Jürgen Frohriep also played Lieutenant Jürgen Hübner in the three-part television film Der Leutnant vom Schwanenkietz, apart from the police call.

In 1987 there was a crossover with the series The Public Prosecutor Has the Word , in the 118th episode of which Himmelblau or Hans im Glück Andreas Schmidt-Schaller appeared as Lieutenant Grawe.

In 2015, Das Erste stated the average cost of a 90-minute police call 110 at 1.395 million euros (15,500 euros / minute).
