Black Tulips is a German television film by Bodo Fürneisen from 2006. It is the twenty-ninth film in the ZDF crime series Stubbe - Von Fall zu Fall with Wolfgang Stumph in the title role.

action

Inspector Stubbe is called to Hamburg's Reeperbahn , where an unknown young Thai woman fell fatally from a high-rise . Since something speaks against the suicide of the Asian woman at the scene , he and his colleague Zimmerman initiate the investigation. The nightclub owner and pimp Thorsten Harmsdorf is suspected very quickly , but Stubbe cannot prove anything. Everything indicates that Malai wanted to get away from Hamburg and the milieu, which Harmsdorf certainly did not want to allow. Saowanee, Harmsdorf's partner, claims to have pushed her friend off the roof of the skyscraper. When she is supposed to repeat her testimony under oath , however, she has disappeared without a trace. The commissioners begin the search, and since Saowanee Assawaroj's trail leads to Amsterdam, Stubbe takes the short official route and travels there immediately. His Dutch colleagues are already waiting for him and will help him with his research. He gets along very well with Jan van der Heijde and even sleeps on his houseboat. During their investigations, they find out that Harmsdorf is depositing a large part of his income in a locker here in Amsterdam to hide it from the tax office. Saowanee should know about this black money and may now want to get it and fly back to Thailand with it.

In the meantime, Harmsdorf's lawyer can get his client released from pre-trial detention, so that he suddenly goes in search of his girlfriend. To achieve his goal, he goes over dead bodies again and kills a man from whom he wanted to find out Saowanee's whereabouts. He should be on his way to Amsterdam too, and Stubbe has to hurry to find Saowanee. In contrast to him, Harmsdorf knows the bank and can monitor it in a targeted manner. But Stubbe also manages to determine the bank, but Saowanee recently emptied the locker and has disappeared. The search for her leads to a vacation home where Saowanee is hiding. Harmsdorf discovered her there in front of the police, and so there was a shooting in which Harmsdorf was fatally wounded. With all the hustle and bustle, however, the money has disappeared and Saowanee asserts that she doesn't have it. All she admits is that she undertook the murder of Malai for Harmsdorf.

Stubbe is not satisfied with the disappearance of the wallet, and since there were several breakdowns in Amsterdam, there are many indications that the overly friendly Jan may have embezzled the 400,000 euros. When Stubbe confronts him, he ruefully admits this. He wanted to use the money to finance a trip to Canada to visit his wife there. He hoped to use the money to persuade her to return to Amsterdam.

Subplot

Christiane Stubbe has decided to move back into her father's house. For this, the attic is being renovated, which is not quite as easy as desired.

criticism

Tilmann P. Gangloff from Tittelbach.tv commented: “'Black tulips' is one of the better 'Stubbe' episodes. The confrontation of the thorough Stubbe with the laid-back Dutchman is delightful , but also his friendship with an Amsterdam colleague, played by Schimmi's ' Hänschen ' Chiem van Houweninge . "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm commented critically with reference to the following title: “These tulips are already a bit withered”, gave the film a medium rating (thumbs to the side).
