Die Schrottwaage is a German crime film by Heinz Seibert from 1971. The television film was released as the second episode of the Polizeiruf 110 film series .
action
A dead man is found at the edge of a forest on a country road. It is the weighing master Willi Waldmann. The criminal investigation department begins to investigate. Oberleutnant Fuchs and Lieutenant Vera Arndt carefully register the results of the forensic investigation by the dog handler . A number of ambiguities make it difficult for the two criminologists to clear up the case. One thing is certain: the dead man was involved in a violent fight .
Meanwhile, a heated argument breaks out between Klaus, Jürgen and Werner. Do the three boys have something to do with the death of the weighmaster? It is known that Waldmann left the youth clubhouse in great excitement shortly before the time of the crime .
Some things seem extremely suspicious to the criminalists. Was it possible that “scrap manipulation” was the cause of Waldmann's violent death? In response to a corresponding question, however, the operations manager has nothing negative to say about his former employee. He categorically rejects Lieutenant Fuchs' assumption: “I've already made inquiries. Waldmann never delivered scrap! ”Nevertheless, all traces lead to the scrap yard .
For Oberleutnant Fuchs and Lieutenant Vera Arndt, the scrap scales become an important pivot in the investigation of the second case from the DFF crime film series Polizeiruf 110 .
production
The shooting time is unknown. The only known locations are the junkyard and the hospital in Berlin-Weißensee .
For Die Schrottwaage there are currently only film fragments with a total length of 15:11 minutes (clubhouse inside, office of the People's Police). The sound for these two scenes is available. A short excerpt can be heard in the SWR radio feature "And rather it's raining ink - The Hagedorn murder case and a film ban" by Thomas Gaevert .
At the time, a spectator criticized the removal of the dead person in an ambulance - this was only allowed with a hearse .
Only two films could be completed in 1971: The Lisa Murnau case and Die Schrottwaage with a gap of more than three months, which is unfavorable for a series in the initial phase. It was not until January 1972 that there was a continuous broadcast sequence at approximately monthly intervals.
