Per Anhalter is a German crime film by Hans Joachim Hildebrandt from 1974. The television film was released as the 21st episode of the Polizeiruf 110 film series .
action
Lieutenant Peter Fuchs is on the trail of a group of youngsters. They first destroyed street signs, later telephone booths and now, within two weeks, two tram cars. Vera Arndt, on the other hand, follows up a forester's complaint. In a break he met a young woman, an older man and a car. The man is interrogated and finally reports the embarrassing matter: he took an alleged student with him in the car, she made advances for him, and so he finally drove into the forest with her. There she was hesitant and ran away. When he got back to the car his jacket was missing, but he always kept his wallet in the car.
The youth gang is led by Rolf Schmitter, called "Rolle". She also includes Puster, Spatz, Kralle, the single mother Emma and Henne, who has recently joined the group. Because of bad grades, he was unable to pursue the career path he wanted. Now he is looking for the guilty party in society. He first has to prove himself in the group and destroys a telephone booth at the direction of Rolle. It is then considered accepted. Later the group demolished the wagons after they were turned away in a disco as known rioters. Rolle is already known to the police, as he was once reported for disturbing the peace. However, his mother, who yelled at him after coming home late, covered him up during the interrogation and provided him with an alibi.
During his work as a window cleaner in a villa, Rolle met the 16-year-old precocious Susanne. She flirts with him and finally invites him to spend the vacation with her at her parents' dacha . Emma is taken as a minder. Susanne's parents, on the other hand, are on vacation in Varna and often travel elsewhere, so that the pubescent Susanne is largely left to herself. An older aunt takes care of her during the day.
While on vacation, Susanne and Rolle use a trick to get themselves money. Susanne hitchhikes with older men, flirts with them and lets them park in the forest. She then adorns herself and at the end makes Rolle appear as protector. He in turn makes it clear to the men that Susanne is still a minor. The men blackmailed in this way pay hush money and do not file a complaint. With Walter Kraus, however, the situation escalates and Rolle brutally beats him up. Walter Kraus suffers from kidney colic , but Rolle leaves him lying in the ditch. Vera Arndt can only elicit the course of events from Walter Kraus through lengthy interviews. The description of the man reminds Peter Fuchs of Rolle, who however has disappeared and no longer appears at work.
Even the youth gang has already been without their leader for 14 days when Puster suggests breaking into the discotheque, which was closed on the day, to which all gang members are prohibited from entering. They want to steal the cash register. Hen is sent forward. However, there will be rehearsals in the disco that day and hen will be provided. His brother is currently working on site and recognizes him, but Henne manages to escape. The police are now looking for him, who flees to Rolle, Susanne and Emma. Rolle is now planning to flee to the West with Henne via Berlin and, with the freedom there, convinces him to be able to decide for himself whether he wants to work or hang around . Susanne has had enough of the group and lets Henne drive her parents' car back to the villa. Rolle takes the opportunity and steals valuables from the family's closets. When he meets with Henne, he no longer wants to be involved in illegal activities and gets out. Rolle beats up hen. Meanwhile, Puster, Spatz and Kralle are arrested when they beat up an elderly couple out of boredom and robbed them.
The police asked the disco operators to give them the names of the people who were banned from entering the disco. This is how they track down Emma, who ultimately calls the role and hen meet. The injured hen is found there. Rolle is caught when his mother tries to get money for him from his apartment. Susanne is arrested when she returns to her parents. All gang members are sentenced to up to eight years in prison; Susanne has to leave school shortly before graduation and start an apprenticeship. The child of the single parent Emma grows up in the home from now on.
production
Per Anhalter was shot from August 21 to October 6, 1973 in Berlin and the surrounding area, Hüttenrode and Wernigerode . The Sputnik discotheque in the film actually existed under the name. The costumes of the film created Christel Richter , the Filmbauten come from Heinz Zeise . The film experienced on January 27, 1974 the first program of the television of the GDR its television premiere.
It was the 21st episode of the film series Polizeiruf 110 . First Lieutenant Peter Fuchs investigated in his 15th case, First Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner in his 8th case, Lieutenant Vera Arndt in her 17th case and Detective Lutz Subras in his 7th case. It was the only time that investigators Fuchs, Arndt, Hübner and Subras appeared together in a police call sequence.
Various songs can be heard in the film. While on holiday at the dacha listening role, Susan and Emma Go to her by the Puhdys . In the Sputnik disco, the songs Blues by Veronika Fischer and Panta Rhei , Der Witz by the Klaus Renft Combo and Mama Loo are performed in a cover version of the Horst Krüger Septet .
So far, juvenile delinquency has been treated marginally in the film series. Per Hitchhiker is now trying to "counteract this by concentrating all conceivable crimes of juvenile offenders." Good young people are conspicuously juxtaposed with bad ones; in the film, responsibility for the development of children is given exclusively to parents. While the criticism described "the milieu drawing of the youth scene around the mid-seventies [as] quite coherent", director Hildebrandt is seen as a representative of the older generation who was "not ideal for the realization of such a material".
