action

Richard Lansky and Jobst Dettmann now make a living from casual work. Dettmann dreams of driving around the world in his own truck. Although Dettmann is supposed to put the money from the home loan and savings contract in a house for his family, he spontaneously buys a truck from the freight forwarder Charlotte Pelzer. Herbert Herbst had driven the car until then, but since he owed the last three installments, Pelzer ditched it without further ado.

It should start the next morning. But Inspector Johanna Herz appears at Dettmann's that night and suspects him of murdering the forwarder. She was found dead shortly before. And since the down payment on the truck has disappeared, Dettmann is suspected. But he has an alibi because he was in the village tavern at the time of the crime and has witnesses for it. Despite the quick relief, it is too late for his first tour and his truck is already on the road with the previous owner Herbst. Dettmann is angry and asks Lansky for help because he wants to follow his truck. Both of them set off by bus towards the Polish border. There they surprisingly meet police chief Krause, who is also hunting Herbst, as he could be Pelzer's murderer. They drive on together with the motorcycle and sidecar. When they are about to stop Herbst, he escapes with Krause's vehicle and leaves the truck to his pursuers.

Inspector Herz doesn't know anything about Krause's sudden idea and is wondering where her colleague has gone. But she also finds clues that point to Herbst as a possible murderer. She lets Pelzer's daughter give her the planned route for the truck, has Herbst written out for a manhunt and sets off afterwards alone.

Since Lansky, Dettmann and Krause are on the road with the truck that the police wanted, they are stopped by the Polish authorities. Herz receives the information and is surprised to find her three heroes in custody in Stettin instead of autumn . Now there are four of them on the hunt for autumn. Krause can find his motorcycle on a Polish market. Shepherd dog Vera, who is still sitting in the sidecar, shows Krause the way to Herbst. He retired to a ship's cabin in the port of Szczecin and has now realized that his journey is over here. He describes the events of the previous evening to Commissioner Herz. He went to see Pelzer because he wanted the money back that he had paid down for the truck that she has now simply sold to Dettmann. She attacked him like a fury and he pushed her away. She stumbled and hit her head. He wouldn't have wanted that.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv rates this police call as average and says: “It was overdue that the 'police call' from Brandenburg, which was recently caught up in conventional crime cases, would return to its weird beginnings. So it was absolutely right to remember what was once tried and tested. And so the RBB brought Bernd Böhlich on board again for its traditional series. After the bearer of hope in East German film had recently turned more and more to the trivial, the author-director must have enjoyed telling stories with characters and mentalities from his homeland. The fact that the crime thriller aspect gets lost somewhere in the Brandenburg pampas - one should overlook that with a smile. "

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm gave it a medium rating (thumbs to the side) and wrote: “Not a crime thriller, but tense provincial farce.” The overall conclusion they drew: “The third Becker-Sander case is boring”.

Klaudia Brunst from the Berliner Zeitung , on the other hand, finds many small positive sides and writes: “'Dettmann's wide world' is not an exciting crime thriller, but a lovingly told television game. With a steady hand, Bernd Böhlich (camera: Peter Ziesche) tells the story of the small village in which everyone is doing something about the great agony and yet hardly anything happens - apart from the dead in the garage. Otto Sander and his stepson Ben Becker's joy in playing can be seen in the piece. [...] The world of Wustermark, which has fallen into two halves, was designed with great attention to detail and a decided trace of irony. [...] Despite all these loving details and ideas, the plot of 'Dettmanns wide world' is too self-indulgent and on the spot. "
