Thanner's new job is a German crime film by Bodo Fürneisen from 1991. The television film was released as the 153rd episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 . It was the last police call that was broadcast on German television , the former GDR television.
action
The detectives around Chief Inspector Peter Fuchs are not very pleased when they learn that they are getting a new superior from North Rhine-Westphalia . Although they already know Christian Thanner from a previous collaboration , Thanner introduces himself awkwardly at the introduction. He orders that in future every decision must be made by him. Peter Fuchs, Thomas Grawe and the others react cynically that someone has finally appeared who, after 40 years, will teach them "real police work". Thomas Grawe talks to Peter Fuchs about the issue of early retirement, which the experienced investigator hardly wasted a thought on.
When the report of a savings bank robbery arrives, Thanner has disappeared. He buys flowers for his lover Adelheid, takes them out and later goes shopping. Peter Fuchs and Thomas Grawe go to the crime scene without his consent. Right-wing extremists Kalle and Helmut have taken numerous hostages here, including women and pensioners. Peter Fuchs offers himself as an exchange hostage and the two men accept the offer. He submits their demands for money and Thomas Grawe manages the money delivery. The notes are in a prepared suitcase, but the perpetrators repackage the notes. With Peter Fuchs in their power, they do not flee in the car provided by the police, but have organized their own getaway car in advance. The perpetrators were able to circumvent any possibility of location by the investigators. The car that you used to get there can quickly be identified as the vehicle of print shop owner Wilfried Ortner. The investigators already know him from their observations on the right-wing scene, as he supplies the radicals with illegally produced right-wing printed matter.
Peter Fuchs has to drive the getaway car because Helmut was shot in the arm during an exchange of fire and is bleeding profusely. When Kalle gets out to manipulate the license plate, Peter Fuchs tries to escape with the car, but is stopped by Helmut. Peter Fuchs spends the rest of the journey tied up and gagged in the back seat of the car. The perpetrators drive to Wilfried Ortner's print shop. While Kalle was looking for Ortner, Thanner found out about the Sparkasse robbery on the police radio and also that the first car was Ortner's perpetrator. He goes to the print shop and sees the gagged Peter Fuchs sitting in the getaway car in the courtyard. Thanner is able to catch Helmut, who was fiddling with the engine compartment, but is overpowered by Kalle shortly afterwards. Kalle and Helmut continue their escape with hostage Peter Fuchs in Thanner's official vehicle. They go to Kale's friend Birgit, who runs a bar frequented by right-wing extremists. Helmut receives makeshift care, while Peter Fuchs has to stay handcuffed. Dehydration and light deprivation, but also the loud forced listening to right-hand music through headphones wear him down. Only late does he ask to be allowed to use the toilet.
Meanwhile, Ortner was visited and questioned by Thanner and Grawe. He then goes to Birgit and confronts Kalle and Helmut. He is horrified when he sees that they have taken a hostage and excludes Kalle and Helmut from the "movement". He wants to take the stolen money and leave, but he is shot from behind by Kalle. Birgit, who in the meantime has also been visited by Thanner and Grawe, refuses to accept any further complicity on her return. Kalle sinks the car with Ortner's body in the trunk in a lake; then Kalle and Helmut drive with Peter Fuchs to Kale's father, who is a doctor. He takes care of Helmut's wound and is forced by Kalle to give up his car keys. Peter Fuchs has to drive the getaway car until he almost causes an accident from exhaustion. Kalle drives the car into a wooded area and lets Peter Fuchs get out. He tries to shoot him, but the pistol jams. Peter Fuchs flees and begs for his life, but is only scornfully laughed at by Kalle. Shortly before the shot, Helmut knocks Kalle down with a pair of handcuffs. Peter Fuchs had tried several times before to get Helmut on his side.
Later, Peter Fuchs, marked by the exertion, stands at the window of the criminalists' consultation room. Thanner praises him for his commitment, but Peter Fuchs realizes that he was just scared. Thomas Grawe is disillusioned and Thanner tries his hand at optimism. When he asked “But we will continue anyway, or do you have another suggestion?” Peter Fuchs silently takes his jacket and leaves the room.

background
The broadcast of the Police Call series was interrupted and only continued on June 13, 1993 with Police Call 110: And dead you are . Filming for new episodes began in the summer of 1992. Thanner's new job was the 153rd episode in the Polizeiruf 110 film series . Chief Inspector Peter Fuchs investigated his 85th and last case. High Commissioner Thomas Grawe was seen in his 30th case.
Chief Inspector Christian Thanner, investigator in the Schimanski row of the crime scene , had his second and last appearance on the police call. The first was in 1990 in the episode Unter Brüdern , which was produced jointly for both series on the occasion of German reunification. A week later, however, he was again working in the Ruhr area as usual in the last Schimanski crime scene ( The Schimanski case ) .
criticism
Looking back, Peter Hoff wrote that “the old police call actually came to an end with its 153rd episode of Thanner's new job ”. The film is "a swan song for the old crime series".
“Without access to GDR television, I may not have adequately appreciated the importance of Peter Borgelt in the GDR, which I would find regrettable in retrospect. […] The situation, however, that a clever Wessi ousts a deserving Ossi who had previously been tormented and humiliated seemed to me to reflect parts of reality, and the Ossi's wordless farewell to be a proud and dignified reaction to this overwhelming reality.
