Deadly Art is a detective radio play from the radio crime scene series . The original text comes from Katja Röder and Fred Breinersdorfer , who takes up the Stuttgart investigative duo , which was continued by Friedrich Ani , Uta-Maria Heim and Hugo Rendler , and developed by Christine Lehmann for Südwestrundfunk , chief detective Nina Brändle and chief detective Xaver Finkbeiner. Deadly Art first aired on September 12, 2012. In addition to the main actors, Marcus Calvin , Rüdiger Vogler , Rolf Kanies and Bernd Gnann also performed other well-known speakers and actors.

The present 56th case of the entire series and eighth case of the Stuttgart crime scene primarily revolves around the mysterious lintel of a Jewish elderly woman and a picture by Otto Dix , which may be dishonest looted art .

The eighth case of the Baden-Wuerttemberg State Office of Criminal Investigation in Stuttgart leads the stoic and taciturn chief criminal Xaver Finkbeiner as profiler of Department 8, “Operative Case Analysis” and his colleague, the verbose and rough- hewn Swabian , Chief Detective Nina Brändle, this time on the delicate parquet of the art trade and the subject of looted Jewish art.

The 93-year-old Jewish senior July Bloomberg came to Germany as a member of a travel group from New York at the invitation of the city of Stuttgart. Allegedly, she wanted to make efforts there to restore a valuable painting by Otto Dix , which once belonged to her grandfather, who was expropriated by the National Socialists and murdered in the Echterdingen concentration camp , and to donate it to the Museum of Modern Art . But this picture is now hanging in an art collection in Stuttgart. When the corpse of the old lady is found, supposedly tumbled down from the balcony of a luxury hostel in Stuttgart, Brändle and Finkbeiner are called in to the case, as they don't want to rule out anti-Semitism and the fact that she was actually in a wheelchair hardly spoke in favor of such an accident.

Because some inconsistencies quickly arise. Why did Mrs. Bloomberg's grandson rush to follow her? Just to help her get it back? Was the old lady pushed off the balcony because she wanted the picture back? There are also significant concerns about an alleged sales contract for the painting that was allegedly made with the original owner. Even a participant in the Jewish travel company gets entangled in contradictions because, contrary to his original information, he probably already knew July Bloomberg from earlier. Because his family had found refuge with the Blumenbergs, as they were called before their Anglicisation, while fleeing the henchmen of the Third Reich. The case becomes more complicated when the leader of a right-wing extremist party , Dr. Leutner himself has applied for personal protection because of alleged anonymous threatening emails in the course of the investigation.

background

Ueli Jäggi, spokesman for Finkbeiner

The case has a real background, as the stories about art objects from Jewish possession that were once stolen by the National Socialists and are now again in state ownership can be found in the press.

Deadly art is the first radio crime scene for which the well-known crime author Fred Breinersdorfer could be won. Even Walter Adler became the setting for the Director in the series.

Writer and dramaturge Uta-Maria Heim on the cast: “One is a lazy Black Forest citizen, the other a talkative city dweller: That doesn't work at all. Xaver Finkbeiner and Nina Brändle are like fire and water. Or vice versa, as the name Brändle suggests. With Ueli Jäggi and Karoline Eichhorn we have found the ideal cast. The Finkbeiner was conceived directly on Jäggi and I am very happy that we were able to win him over to the series. And Karoline Eichhorn is a wonderful counterpart . "

In the first two episodes, Nina Brändle was still significantly restricted in her mobility due to a serious motorcycle accident she had suffered four years earlier and had to use walking aids as well as a wheelchair accessible car, but this has changed significantly in the later episodes. Even back then, to the shock of her boss Finkbeiner, who would prefer to pursue his purely intuitive manner in the field service on his own, she was amazingly mobile and loved to push her boss forward, now her physical agility has almost been restored. So she now drives a smaller Ducati again and is also doing martial arts again .

General reception of the series

  • “All state broadcasters broadcast (..) the new ARD radio Tatort once a month, use the creative potential of their best crime writers and attract additional attention to the traditional radio art form of radio play. The radio Tatort has now reached an audience of millions, and the high number of hits on the Internet (www.radiotatort.ard.de) confirms the acceptance of these thrillers. "
