Taubers Angst is a TV film from the ARD crime series Polizeiruf 110 . The film was produced for BR under the direction of Klaus Krämer and was broadcast for the first time on February 4, 2007 on ARD as the 283rd episode of the crime series. It is the sixteenth case of the Munich police call investigator Jürgen Tauber and the thirteenth case for his colleague Jo "Josephine" Obermaier .

action

The body of the call girl Zusana Lebedova is found on the banks of the Isar. While Inspector Tauber waits longingly for a new assignment, his colleague Jo Obermaier is on the way to a wedding party and now reluctantly has to sacrifice her day off to work. The autopsy shows: The victim has been dead for about ten days, was strangled and very likely thrown into the water from a nearby bridge. Tauber takes up the hint and immediately looks around with Obermaier on a bridge, very close to the place of discovery. His colleague quickly discovers a valuable tie pin that the perpetrator may have lost here. After the identity of the victim has been established beyond doubt, Tauber can identify the entrepreneur Hermann Denninger as a regular and last customer of Lebedova. Even at the first questioning, Tauber is convinced that the slippery and unpleasant businessman is the culprit. In the hotel the staff saw the high-class prostitutes coming, but nobody can remember seeing them when they left the hotel. A first check of the surveillance tapes from the hotel entrance unfortunately gives no indication of the whereabouts of the young woman who, according to Denninger, left his hotel room safely at around 1:30 a.m. Unexpectedly, the receptionist Kammermeier arrives at the presidium to record how he saw Zusana Lebedova come out of the hotel. Of course, Tauber doesn't believe him and uses a dangerous ruse. He presents Denninger with the tie pin found on the bridge as an accidental find in his hotel room. The suspect initially falls for it, but quickly realizes Tauber's tactics behind it. Since he is alone in the interrogation room with the inspector, Denninger tries to escape forward and physically attacks Tauber. Choked almost to the point of unconsciousness, he must fear for his life. At the last moment, Denninger lets go of him, but from then on Tauber is plagued by anxiety attacks, which ultimately paralyzes his ability to act. In his need he seeks help from his therapist, whom he has not had to go to for years. He describes his fears that he is not only worried for his life, but that he would also lose his other arm in his dreams and that his psychological problems could start all over again. Unfortunately, the conversation doesn't help him any further and he exposes himself to further confrontation with the case. Together with Jo Obermaier, he questions the witness Kammermeier again, whose testimony appears to him as "bought". He analyzes the possibilities of how a corpse could be dragged out of a hotel room unnoticed. A hotel employee helps him and together they can bring a laundry container from a room to the underground car park, where Denninger's car is parked regularly. Looking through the surveillance recordings over a longer period of time reveals that Denninger can now actually be seen rolling such a container to his car with Kammermeier. He simply "parked" the body in the next room with his lawyer and took it away two days later and then threw it into the water. Tauber and Obermaier arrest Denninger, who is about to break away.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from Tittelbach.tv writes appreciatively: “In 'Taubers Angst' the inspector begins to investigate, with unusual brisk and commitment, the deeper the hole into which he falls after the attack on his life. With his fear, the anger increases in the viewer, who sympathizes with him because he witnessed the fall from Tauber's perspective. Director Klaus Krämer gets very close to his sweat and steers the crime thriller in the direction of psychological thriller. "

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm gave the best rating (thumbs up): They found "One-armed versatile: Selge plays terrific."
