Die Neue is a television film from the crime series Tatort on ARD and ORF . The television film, which was broadcast for the first time on October 29, 1989, is the 224th crime scene and the first case of Lena Odenthal .

action

The young commissioner Lena Odenthal recently started working in the moral department of Ludwigshafen . After a serial rapist is up to mischief in the city, she is supposed to help catch the man. The perpetrator always appears masked and uses a striking knife to torture his victims with it. Left behind cigarette butts and ensured bloodstains have an offender with the blood group A out. The police have not yet been able to find out more. The list of potential criminal offenders is manageable and Odenthal hopes that the man will give himself away if he sees one of the victims again. So she seeks out one after the other accompanied by Carmen Posniak, one of the rape victims, but before this works, the perpetrator strikes again and this time it ends fatally. At the scene of the crime, Odenthal meets Commissioner Seidel, with whom she is now trying to find the perpetrator. For the Commissioner the convicted sex offender Koslowski is suspect because she recently irritated him with her “confrontation tactics” and he became aggressive. But she cannot find any concrete evidence against him. Geissler, another suspect, has also been inconspicuous for six years and has a relatively stable social environment. Candidate three is Appold. He's actually doing therapy and taking drugs that curb his sex drive. However, he takes the pills himself and nobody can really control it.

Carmen Posniak remembers days later that the perpetrator had worn a hearing aid . This hint points to Appold, but that's not enough for an arrest warrant. Odenthal has Appold's girlfriend summoned and now she admits that she gave her boyfriend a false alibi. To catch him, she has his girlfriend order him to her favorite café, where he is awaited by civilian police officers and arrested after a brief persecution.

Due to a long-standing vacancy on the homicide squad, Odenthal is to take over this position with immediate effect.

background

With Lena Odenthal, after Commissioner Buchmüller (1978–1980) and Commissioner Wiegand (1981–1988), another woman took over the leading role in the crime scene series. This means that the episodes of Südwestrundfunk (SWR) and Südwestfunk (SWF) in Rhineland-Palatinate are the only ones that were and are consistently staffed with commissioners.

criticism

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm rated this crime scene 15 years after it was first broadcast. They only gave a middle rating (thumbs to the side) and stated: “Ulrike Folkerts has been doing such dangerous jobs as the longest-serving 'Tatort' commissioner for fifteen years. Promotion: not in sight. "Conclusion:" The 'new one' is still in the trial period. "
