Der Fensterstecher is a German crime film by Hans Knötzsch from 1976. The television film was released as the 39th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 .
action
The young Sabine Kroll wakes up at night and sees a strange man in front of her bed. Her scream drives away the man who pricked the window glass and pushed it in and was able to open the window. Apparently the burglar did not steal anything. The pattern of the crime therefore coincides with twelve other break-ins that always happened on the outskirts. The perpetrator always fled with a stolen bicycle, which the investigators found parked a little later. First Lieutenant Jürgen Hübner, Lieutenant Vera Arndt and Master Lutz Subras grope in the dark. The statement by Sabine's neighbor Frau Könnern that she saw a tall man in a light coat flee does not help the investigators either.
New break-ins follow. The resolute pensioner Sidonie Berlepsch from Ruppenwalde follows the perpetrator to the window and tries to pinch him with the blind, but the burglar escapes. A phantom picture is made based on the description of the perpetrator . Ms. Kuntze, to whom the police are also called, cannot recognize the man in the phantom image and her son, who was surprised by the man in the toilet, also says that someone else broke into their place. Ms. Kuntze later admits that the fugitive was her lover, which she did not want to tell her son. A third break-in takes place in Erlenbach. 80,000 marks are stolen from a country warehouse. On site, the investigators also find a bitten sausage - the money was kept in a locked refrigerator next to the food. The perpetrator escaped in a car.
In Erlenbach, Sabine Kroll meets the sausage seller Herbert Lohmann. He invites her to dinner, they meet again some time later, and he spends the night with her. A little later, they go on an excursion and spend the night on site - on the night that the break-ins at Ms. Berlepsch's and in the country warehouse also occur. The next morning Sabine sees him coming out of the forest on a trip and driving away in the car. The Lohmann employees finally believe they recognize him on the phantom image. When compared, Ms. Berlepsch is certain that Lohmann was the culprit. Lohmann finally admits the break-ins. In the cell he receives an apple that he bites shortly before a new interrogation. His bite mark is compared unnoticed by the investigators with the impression on the sausage and turns out to be identical. Sabine Kroll can finally point out where Lohmann hid the 80,000 marks: in the forest area in which she saw him on her excursion.
