The fictitious investigators, Chief Detective Frank Thiel and forensic scientist Prof. Dr. Dr. Karl-Friedrich Boerne are the main characters in the episodes of the ARD television series Tatort, which are set in Münster . Axel Prahl and Jan Josef Liefers play the leading roles. The comedic crime thrillers produced for WDR have been broadcast with the team since 2002 . Two episodes are produced per year, on November 25, 2012 the tenth anniversary was celebrated with the episode Das Wunder von Wolbeck .

background

Idea, shooting and narrative style

The Münster crime scene was developed by the scriptwriters Stefan Cantz and Jan Hinter , who were given the location of Münster. Based on a renowned forensic doctor who worked in the university city of Münster, the figure of Professor Boerne was placed on an equal footing with the inspector. Ulrich Noethen was initially scheduled for his role, but he canceled. Instead , the role of forensic doctor was taken on by Jan Josef Liefers , who, according to his own information, has actually already seen 13 autopsies .

This house in Bonn's Weststadt served several times as a backdrop for Thiel and Boerne's shared house in Münster

In the first episode, a house on Leipziger Platz in Cologne served as the backdrop for Thiel and Boerne's shared house in Münster

For cost reasons, the shooting takes place mainly in Cologne and the surrounding area, where the WDR and the production companies Colonia Media and Filmpool are also based. In the first episode, The Dark Spot , a Wilhelminian-style apartment building on Leipziger Platz in Cologne-Nippes served as a filming location for Thiel and Boerne's shared home. Only outside scenes are regularly recorded in Münster. Like the ZDF series Wilsberg , which is also played in Münster, the production is supported by the Filmservice Münster.Land, a facility of the Münster press office, as well as the regional development association Münsterland eV and the IHK North-Westphalia. The budget for a Münster crime scene episode is around 1.3 million euros.

The concept of the permanent present is characteristic of the narrative in particular of the Münster crime scene episodes. Strictly speaking, the individual episodes do not represent a series in the chronological sense, but rather begin each time at the current point in time under similar conditions. For example, the son of Inspector Thiel is always twelve years old, both in the first episode The Dark Spot 2002 and in Wolfsstunde six years later, and Nadeshda Krusenstern was a candidate for inspector for more than a decade, which would be completely unrealistic in a civil service career. In some things, however, developments are also taking place. In the first few episodes, Inspector Thiel does not have a driver's license and often has to let other people drive him, later he can drive himself. As a result, Father Frost , Thiel's son, who continues to live in New Zealand, has grown up. Both Thiel and Boerne's apartments, which are next to each other, as well as the Boernes cars have been changing constantly since the beginning of the series.

Audience ratings and awards

The Tatort from Münster achieved the highest ratings of all current Tatort teams on average and thus also the best ratings of all contemporary German television series. In 2011 and 2012, an average of 11.58 million viewers in Germany saw the television films with Thiel and Boerne. Several episodes from Münster achieved the highest ratings for a crime scene since 1992, including the episode Summ, Summ, Summ from March 24, 2013 with 12.99 million viewers and a market share of 34.1%, which is now the front runner. This mark exceeded the episode Murder is the Best Medicine from September 21, 2014 with 13.13 million viewers and a market share of 36.7%. A new record was set on November 8, 2015 with the episode Swan Lake , which was seen by 13.69 million viewers and was therefore also the most-watched program of the 2015 television year. The episode Explain Chimera from May 31, 2015 also reached over 13 million viewers and a market share of 37.2% and thus landed in third place in the annual ranking list. Mechthild Großmann mentions as a contribution to the success that the Münster crime scene has many regular players.

As part of the Golden Camera 2011 , Prahl and Liefers from the Tatort team in Münster won the readers' choice “The best crime team”. The team of actors from the Münster crime scene with Jan Josef Liefers, Axel Prahl, Christine Urspruch, Mechthild Großmann, Friederike Kempter and Claus Dieter Clausnitzer was awarded “for many years of outstanding performance in humorous television entertainment” for the 2012 Grimme Prize in the “Entertainment / Special” category nominated.

The crime scene from Münster received the Bobby Media Prize from the Bundesvereinigung Lebenshilfe in 2013 for the humorous handling of the crime fiction format with an alleged deficit. The topic of "being different" contributes to the success of the television series with the pointed exchanges between the actors Christine Urspruch and Jan Josef Liefers . The award ceremony took place on November 7, 2013 in Cologne .

characters

Jan Josef Liefers (Boerne) and Axel Prahl (Thiel)

Frank Thiel

Chief Detective Frank Thiel ( Axel Prahl ) comes from Hamburg, where he grew up in the working-class district of St. Pauli . In the Hanseatic city he worked for many years until he was transferred to Münster, where his father Herbert has lived for many years and now seems to need his son's support due to his advanced age. Since then, Frank Thiel has headed the homicide department of the Münster police department, but his heart is still on the Kiez, which is particularly evident in his clothes and office utensils, which often demonstrate his support for FC St. Pauli , as well as his mobile phone ringtone On the Reeperbahn at half past twelve . Thiel fulfills the cliché of a “typical North German” who comes across as a bit solitary and rather lazy. His way of working is sometimes unconventional, but meticulous. He lives as a tenant in the house of forensic doctor Professor Karl-Friedrich Boerne. With his landlord and fellow investigator, Thiel forms a pair of opposites: If Boerne embodies the always elegantly dressed and extremely eloquent academic, Thiel gives the impression of a privately hard-to-place, plentiful fast food consumer who knows nothing else than to do with his free time to drink a beer after work and dedicate himself to his football club. In the dialogues between the two of them, these inadequacies often turn into ironic undoing. Thiel's wife emigrated to New Zealand with their son.

Karl-Friedrich Boerne

Professor Dr. Dr. Karl-Friedrich Boerne ( Jan Josef Liefers ) is the offspring of a Westphalian family that has already produced many reputable doctors. As head of forensic medicine at the Münster University Hospital , he comes into contact with Thiel, and both of them clarify the criminal cases together in a rather unconventional way, which can hardly be prevented, since Boerne usually intervenes in the investigations without being asked. In terms of character, Boerne is the exact opposite of Thiel: arrogant, flamboyant and always with the last word. Only others make mistakes; he himself is, in his own estimation, nothing less than a brilliant luminary . In addition to his professional qualifications, he also has skills that are not part of the faculty. For example, he speaks perfect French (one corpse too many), Spanish, Japanese (The Second Face) and Russian (The Double Lott), which impresses even Nadeshda, but is never explained. This is an insider gag, because the actor Jan Josef Liefers from Dresden learned the language in his youth. On the edge: When Boerne wanted to pretend a Russian coming to the rescue in the episode "Father Frost", he can only help himself with the lyrics of the classic Russian folk song "Black Eyes". Since Boerne is also Thiel's landlord and lives in the same house, there is sometimes an opportunity to cook together and discuss the current case. Boerne was married, but his wife ran away with her therapist, as he said in the first episode, The Dark Spot . Boerne is a member of the Corps Pomerania-Guestphalia zu Münster , a (fictional) student union to which his father was already a member. He is also a great admirer of the composer Richard Wagner .

The real model for the role of Karl-Friedrich Boerne is the Münster professor Bernd Brinkmann , who was director of the Institute for Forensic Medicine in Münster from 1981 to 2007 and who became known beyond the national borders through numerous spectacular cases, including through the questioning as an expert witness in the Kachelmann process .

Originally Ulrich Noethen provided for the role, but was due to other interesting role deals with the long-term format crime scene would collide, not maintained its original commitment.

Silke Haller

Christine Urspruch (" Alberich ")

Silke Haller ( Christine Urspruch ) is the resolute deputy and closest colleague of Karl-Friedrich Boerne in Münster forensic medicine. She has the size to take Boerne's constant allusions to her short stature - he calls her almost without exception " Alberich " after the dwarf from Wagner's Rheingold and thus constantly produces jokes about her - and does not feel belittled. Also because she knows that Boerne wants to express appreciation, as can already be seen in the first episode, The Dark Spot . In the ensuing ceremony , Boerne saved his colleague from reducing her position by acquiring research funds.

Herbert Thiel

Claus Dieter Clausnitzer (Herbert Thiel)

Herbert ( Claus Dieter Clausnitzer ) is Frank Thiel's father and the reason why he moved to Münster. Herbert is aged sixty-eight and has never shed the image of the revolutionary. He works as a self-employed taxi driver, but is constantly in need of money, among other things because of the constant need for repairs to his junky vehicle. He raised a sideline by growing hemp. He smokes some of the marijuana himself and sells some of it to students from Münster. Once Frank Thiel has to rely on Herbert's help, there is always the risk that he will either be high or the taxi will give up the ghost. He is often involved in his son's cases, for example when he finds a body or is suspected of having committed a crime himself.

Wilhelmine Klemm

Wilhelmine Klemm ( Mechthild Großmann ) is the public prosecutor in Münster. She is a notorious chain smoker who consistently ignores the smoking ban in public buildings in North Rhine-Westphalia. She knows many VIPs from the upper bourgeoisie in Münster, to whom she also counts. Thiel, on the other hand, is in her eyes a proletarian who, in her opinion, always wrongly suspects dignitaries. She often shows up in Thiel's office without being asked to be brought up to date personally, which usually only gets on the inspector's nerves. Sometimes she even appears on the scene in high heels if the situation calls for it. Your conclusions are usually wrong, which makes Thiel's work even more difficult, but makes his successes appear all the more respectable.

The role name can be understood as an allusion to the chemist Wilhelm Klemm , who taught in Münster and after whom a street is named that runs in the immediate vicinity of the Institute for Forensic Medicine. Actress Mechthild Großmann describes Wilhelmine Klemm, embodied by her, as a “little feeder role ” .

Former characters

Friederike Kempter (Nadeshda Krusenstern)

Bernd Bulle

Like Krusenstern, Bernd Bulle ( Oliver Bokern ) was Thiel's assistant. He starred in the first four films up to Say nothing .

Nadeshda Krusenstern

Nadeshda ( Friederike Kempter ) was Thiel's assistant. She comes from Russia (although in the first episode she states that she came with her parents from Odessa, which is in the Ukraine) and is a late descendant of the German-Baltic explorer Adam Johann von Krusenstern (the name Nadeshda is an allusion to the ship with which he sailed around the world). As a child she came to Münster with her parents, later embarked on a career with the criminal investigation department and, after an internship in the drug investigation, ended up at the homicide department, where she was assigned to the new head, Frank Thiel. Thiel encourages his assistant, whom he thinks very highly, and sometimes entrusts her with the management of smaller investigations. She is hard-working and socially competent. As a result, declare chimera , detective inspector candidate Krusenstern is appointed detective inspector. Kempter leaves the crime scene in 2020. Her final episode will be Limbus , which is pending broadcast. In the crime scene episode "The Team" , Nadeshda Krusenstern is murdered.

criticism

Although the Tatort episodes from Münster are among the most popular of the TV series, the Münster crime scene is more often referred to as slapstick and over-the-top slapstick. Axel Prahl said to the Augsburger Allgemeine : “Oh God, finding the right measure is an art that nobody has mastered. For some it is almost too little humor, and for others it is already too much. "Liefers speculates," maybe the viewers have this impression because they have already seen a few episodes and every case is thriller fun ".

The crime scene from Münster also knows how to polarize among the acting colleagues . Wotan Wilke Möhring appreciates the actors in the roles of Thiel and Boerne very much and particularly praises “the humor and the lightness” in the Münster Tatort . Bjarne Mädel is quoted as saying: "I like to watch my colleagues Jan Josef Liefers and Axel Prahl play, they do it well, but the gags have become predictable and wear out a bit."

Two commissioners looking for clues

In 2009 the Norddeutsche Rundfunk produced a program entitled Two Commissioners on the Search for Clues . Axel Prahl and Jan Josef Liefers slipped into their Tatort characters Thiel and Prof. Boerne, but kept their real names. In five episodes / stages they hiked Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Mecklenburg Baltic Sea coast to Kühlungsborn , Usedom , Ruegen , Fischland-Zingst , Schwerin Lake ), where they entered to the country, people and practices of the respective versed regions and from the Münster scene known Exchanged disputes.

particularities

In 2017, Axel Prahl and Jan Josef Liefers were introduced by Guido Cantz as part of the show Do you understand fun? tricked.

In the cheerful ARD early evening crime series Alles Klara , the coroner is called “Dr. Münster ”, which is to be understood as an allusion to the Münster crime scene and the figure of Karl-Friedrich Boerne.
