Borowski and the woman at the window is a television film from the crime series Tatort , which was broadcast for the first time on October 2, 2011 in the ARD Das Erste program. It is the 812th crime scene sequence; for the Kiel investigator Klaus Borowski , played by Axel Milberg , it is his 17th case. Sarah Brandt, portrayed by Sibel Kekilli , investigates her first case at Borowski's side. The main guest stars of this episode are Sibylle Canonica as the lonely, dangerous vet and Dirk Borchardt as the patrolman Hans Nielsson, whose girlfriend has suddenly disappeared.
action
Patrolman Hans Nielsson lives with his girlfriend Valeska Orschanova in a house next to the veterinarian Charlotte Delius. Delius, who is interested in Nielsson herself and jealous of Orschanova, watches the couple several times from the window of their home and practice. One morning she waits until Nielsson has left the house to drive to his place of work and shortly afterwards breaks into his house, where she first stun Orschanova with a stun gun, then suffocates and throws the corpse wrapped in foil. Then Delius removes all of Orschanova's personal belongings.
While Nielsson is certain that Orschanova was the victim of a crime, the chief detective, Klaus Borowski, is initially skeptical. On first impressions there are no signs of a crime and the question arises whether the police officer himself may have had something to do with the disappearance of his girlfriend. But when Borowski looks around the patrolman's house, he finds the missing person's bent braces under a cupboard. The clasp cannot have been broken out without the use of force. Now Nielsson is finally convinced that someone broke into his house and murdered his beloved.
Borowski can find out that the young woman, who officially studied German at Kiel University, worked for an escort service and speculate that Nielsson found this out and may have murdered Orschanova out of jealousy. However, this trail fizzles out, as does the review of the escort service's customer file.
Borowski looks around in the neighborhood and comes across the initially inconspicuous Delius and the older Harry Reens, who is decried as a "village idiot", and his farm. Reens hides under his bed out of fear and tells something about a witch who will fetch everyone. Caused by his panic acting, Reens suffers a heart attack. The emergency doctor alerted by Borowski cannot prevent Reens from dying on site as a result of the infarction. During the investigation of the farm's mud pit, the forensics team not only found the remains of the missing Orschanova, but also a second woman's body. The stranger, who was only about seventeen years old, is estimated to have been dead for twenty years.
In a conversation with Borowski, Delius explains that her daughter Rosemarie has lived in Africa for a long time and that she writes weekly letters from there. Sarah Brandt, Borowski's new colleague, however, found out that there was no passport in the name of Rosemarie Delius, which must have made it impossible to travel to Africa. Borowski therefore suspects that the unknown corpse could be Delius' daughter. Borowski visits Delius again in her house and confronts her with these findings. Now Delius turns out to be a mentally ill personality to the investigator, because she admits that Rosemarie left her at the age of seventeen, which she could not bear. The daughter's letters were all written by Delius himself. She is convinced that she has committed "the perfect crime". Shortly afterwards, Delius puts Borowski out of action with the stun gun that she also stunned Orschanova with. While he is motionless on the floor and she tries to give him a syringe with poison, Brandt appears in the garden of the house and notices what is going on in the house through the window. With targeted shots through the window pane, she kills Delius, who falls into her own lethal injection and dies.

criticism
“ Borowski and the woman at the window is an excellent 'crime scene', which is carried by the detail-oriented tension on the course of the action. The film thrives on insane scenes, on the smallest irritations, director Stephan Wagner speaks of the 'chess game of storytelling'. Even the opening sequence undermines expectations and takes on new turns every second. The […] meeting of Borowski and Brandt is also a small comedically resolved miniature. Every scene is remarkable. And the moralists also get something to get excited about: a tick that has burst in the microwave or a dead horse. The film is dense and of high intensity [...] Borowski and the woman at the window has something unsettling about it, but with wit and a weakness for the absurd, it always provides relieving counterpoints. "
“It could have been a little deeper. Especially since Commissioner Borowski (Axel Milberg) gets a new partner in Sarah Brandt. Sibel Kekilli plays the young policewoman cheeky, rascal and disrespectful. On the other hand, a portion less cliché would have done the film good here and there if Borowski, who looks anachronistic in the old Passat station wagon and mobile phone with a retractable antenna, meets a young lady who says sentences like 'Got it off your stick' or 'This is a trojan'. That seems intentional and, well, superficial. Borowski's wonderfully unexcited manner, the good actors and the North German, almost Scandinavian flair made the film worth seeing. Looks like we can really look forward to the Milberg-Kekilli duo. "
“The gathering of unequal partners is part of the standard TV crime thriller repertoire; here it is tingling, amusing and promising. In general, the staff: the author Sascha Arango, who is experienced at the crime scene, and director Stephan Wagner ( “ The Sting of the Scorpion ” ) surround the twisted personality Borowski with lots of figures that arouse interest. You betray the murderer right at the beginning, only let the inspector appear after 15 minutes and weave in a cute subplot that still doesn't detract from the lurking high tension. "
Dieter Wunderlich praised: “The 'Tatort' episode 'Borowski and the woman at the window' is a highlight among German television films. The script is well thought out, the staging is first class. And Sibylle Canonica shows a brilliant acting performance. "
