Abfalls is a German crime film by Reinhard Stein from 1990. The television film was released as the 139th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 .
action
In the Elbe Sandstone Mountains , a young man falls to his death from a rock. Hiking guide Max Haase is not far away with a group of tourists and is alerting the police. First Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner and First Lieutenant Lutz Zimmermann take over the investigation. The man had no identity papers with him, but a pathetic, old-fashioned suicide note in which he gave a murder as the motive for his jump. Since there are leftovers from lunch in his stomach, Jürgen Hübner first goes to the Felsenkeller restaurant, which is not far from the crime scene . It was the only place that was open on Wednesdays despite being closed. The landlord Genghein remembers the young man who called himself "Backmann". Other guests of the restaurant, including Schnitzer Wolf and watchmaker Reichard, saw the young man. The district forester later met him in the forest and Backmann asked for directions to the forest stage. With him was a blonde woman who asked about the train traffic that day. The ABV finally saw them both at the station when the young woman drove away.
Max Haase has known all the details of the area for years. He also notices that the bench on the plateau from which Backmann jumped was going crazy. If Backmann had jumped from where the bench actually stood, he would have landed on a ledge padded with leaves and would have survived the fall. Max Haase also remembers various hiding spots not far from the crime scene, including a secret passage under the old forest stage. The investigators find Backmann's shelter in the corridor. Padded boxes are also stored here, in which the investigators find a porcelain lid. Investigations show that the lid belongs to a service that was stolen from Domburg Castle some time ago. The ashtray by Schnitzer Gerd Wolf is also part of the service and Wolf claims to have acquired the bowl at a flea market.
The investigators search in vain for a "baker" in their files. Lutz Zimmermann learns from a friend that the name in Magdeburg is a slang term for a "problem citizen". In fact, not far from the scene of the crime, there was part of a note with the address of a club in Magdeburg and several train connections. Jürgen Hübner goes to Magdeburg, where the club owners confirm that the note belongs to Anja Ludwig - the dead man's blonde companion. Anja Ludwig sublet lives with Ute Usch and Jürgen Hübner recognizes as soon as he enters the apartment that numerous photos on the wall show the dead: It is Ferdinand Usch, future painter and son of Ute Usch. For some time he had been living with Anja in a converted mill on the Elbe. In his studio there, the investigators find not only paintings showing Anja pregnant, but also numerous boxes of porcelain - the rest of the robbery from Domburg Castle.
The investigators learn from Ute Usch that Ferdinand could not have committed the robbery because he was not only present at her birthday party at the time, but also visited his psychologist in between. The doctor confirms that Ferdinand was treated by her. She doubts that Ferdinand actually wanted to commit suicide and thinks that the jump, including the suicide note, reminds her more of a theatrical production. Jürgen Huebner returns home. One day Anja Ludwig reports to the police headquarters. She was on vacation and now reports to the investigators that Ferdinand actually planned to fake suicide if “everything went wrong”. He used the bench as a point of reference, but watchmaker Reichard moved it without his knowledge because the light dazzled him one day. Ferdinand wanted to provide for himself, Anja and their child with the robbery.
The investigators suspect that Ferdinand did not act alone. At first they suspect an accomplice in Schnitzer Wolf, but it turns out that Ferdinand Wolf's illegitimate child was with Ute Usch. He went to see him shortly before his death and wanted money so he could go into hiding. However, Wolf only gave him a little cash, especially for the pregnant Anja. He knew nothing of the act itself. Various details finally point to the host of the Felsenkeller as an accomplice. Jürgen Hübner and Lutz Zimmermann involve Max Haase in their work. He visits the rock cellar and claims to host Genghein that test bores will soon be carried out on the old forest stage. The investigators lie in wait and can catch Genghein in the act when he tries to rescue the boxes with the china from the underground passage. He did not know that Ferdinand had secretly emptied the boxes and brought the china to Magdeburg. He scolds him for planning the break and then fearfully letting him carry out the break-in on his own. Genghein is arrested.
