action
On the journey from Leipzig to Berlin, the young Sybille Arnold and her friend and lecturer Dr. Pfeiffer to the argument. She thinks he wants to leave her. When he didn't reply, Sybille insists on getting off in the pouring rain in a forest area near Lühnsdorf. Some time later, she apparently reached a forester's house in shock and cut her wrists with a scythe. The forester finds her in time and Sybille is taken to the hospital.
Lieutenant Jürgen Hübner and Lieutenant Helga Lindt are entrusted with the case. In an initial questioning, Sybille claims to have been raped in the forest that morning. She got into a truck on the country road, but the driver suddenly drove into the forest and raped her. She initially blocks further questions from Helga Lindts because she does not want to remember. The attending physician reports to Helga Lindt that Sybille is four months pregnant. Her suicide attempt had less to do with the rape than with her not wanting to keep the child because her boyfriend abandoned her. He doesn't know anything about the child. She later reports that the rapist's truck was carrying a meat-like mass. She also stole a key from the man during the act, with which she injured his head.
The investigation leads to a slaughterhouse. Soon three men are suspected of the crime: Mr. Köhlermann is the driver of the truck whose tire profile was found at the crime scene. He says he left the car in the slaughterhouse courtyard early that day because the loading was delayed. He only picked up the truck around 12 noon. Martin Rienacker has a bandaged wound on his head, but he justifies it with an injury to a newly drawn barbed wire fence on the factory premises. He also shows the officers his bunch of keys. Helmut Paulsen was gone for more than an hour that morning. He is considered a suspect by his colleagues because he has a criminal record for burglary. Paulsen's key has also disappeared, but Paulsen claims that he only loaded the truck in the yard. He lost the key. He then went on foot to apply to a circus. As an animal lover, working in the slaughterhouse is not for him.
Traces of blood of the rare blood group AB, which must have come from the perpetrator, were found on the bunch of keys . Blood samples are taken from Mr. Köhlermann, Martin Rienacker and Helmut Paulsen. At the same time, Helga Lindt presented photos of possible perpetrators to Sybille. Time is of the essence as another woman has already been sexually abused in the meantime. The blood group AB and also Sybille's identification make it clear that the perpetrator is Martin Rienacker. A manhunt initiated immediately can just prevent a third act. Martin Rienacker is arrested. Sybille and Dr. Pfeiffer speak out; they will stay together and will have a family.
production
Blood group AB was filmed from March 21 to the beginning of May 1972 under the working title Notzucht in Leipzig and Berlin. The costumes for the film were created by Elisabeth Lützkenberg , and the film structures were created by Christoph Lindemann . The film had its television premiere on July 16, 1972 on DFF 1 .
It was the 7th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 and with only 50 minutes one of the shortest episodes in the series. First Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner investigated his 1st case. In addition to Alarm am See, it was one of two film appearances by Karin Ugowski as Lieutenant Helga Lindt. For the first time, a psychologically motivated crime was committed in blood group AB . It is also the first film in which the investigator is shown with a gun in hand.
The criticism stated that the handling of the victim was shown very sensitively - in the film, for example, Sybille is only questioned by Lieutenant Helga Lindt - but that the filmmakers acted helplessly towards the perpetrator. "The conclusion that the film shows that sex offenders with uncontrolled instincts are to be removed from public life and locked up, is certainly poor and shows a bias towards this problem of criminal prosecution, which was by no means the exception at that time."
