Sunken graves is a crime radio play of the series of radio crime scene . The original text comes from Elisabeth Herrmann , who for the second time already by their predecessors Frank Göhre and Matthias Wittekindt for the Norddeutscher Rundfunk designed Hamburger Detective Chief Commissioner Bettina Breuer and undercover Jac Garth man continued led Ermittlerduo in its original text. Sunken Tombs first aired on December 18, 2011. The radio play had its world premiere at a public performance in the Hamburg Planetarium on November 1, 2011. In addition to the main actors, Gerhard Olschewski , Jürgen Uter , Isabella Grothe and Ryszard Wojtyllo also performed other well-known speakers and actors.
The present 47th case of the entire series and ninth case of the Hamburg crime scene primarily revolves around the death of a courier company on the steep coast of Usedom . This had its assets among other unfair property speculation, cigarette smuggling and probably also with trafficking acquired.
content
For the first time a case leads the Hamburg team of investigators, detective chief Commissioner Bettina Breuer from the LKA and its undercover agent Jac Garth man after Usedom . The body of the Hamburg courier company Sigmar Schwerdtfeger was found on the cliff there near Ückeritz . Since Schwerdtfeger had a large amount of cash with him, everything initially points to a robbery . This convenient solution seems too easy for Bettina Breuer, as the State Criminal Police Office had been investigating the deceased entrepreneur for a long time and he had not appeared to be summoned. Most of his fortune comes from illegal courier tours on behalf of the cigarette mafia . According to their judgment, there is more to the case than people smuggling young Polish girls, property speculation, money laundering and cigarette smuggling. In her opinion, a local building contractor who innovatively redirects subsidies, cannibalizes naive investors and also hires illegal workers, has its fingers in the game. After Poland , across the border Breuer and Garth man leads blazing a trail thanks to a hint of a Polish construction worker. The perpetrator and the victim must have met there. However, the trail leads you surprisingly into the German-Polish past of the Second World War , the last days of the war and the expulsion of the German population. The fact that in the end the solution turns out to be a chain of a family tragedy harbors the real surprise when the case is initiated.
The cool, pragmatic career policeman Breuer and the intuitive side entrant Garthmann, whose concert activities as a pianist and solo entertainer conceal his investigative work, will collide several times, as Breuer always wonders why this amateur has been assigned to her. But Garthmann's observation and moral instinct will give her the best direction several times.
This case also shows that the tramping through the northern German province is only little consolation for the 50-year-old Garthmann for an escaped career as a classical concert pianist. He once lost both his girlfriend and one of his thumbs in a tragic accident, which abruptly ended his original ambitions. Only his occasional jazz concerts and his investigative work can distract from the occasional resignation.
background
After the first part of the Hamburg crime scene series, Dirty Laundry , whose story and figure design was done by writer Frank Göhre , Elisabeth Herrmann took over the template for the second time . In the following, the series of the Hamburg radio crime scene alongside Matthias Wittekindt ( Death of a Diver , The Yellow Vices , Störtebeker's Revenge , Total Loss , The Blue Yacht ) was designed by Elisabeth Herrmann ( Schlick , Sunken Graves , Chicken Highway ).
Martin Reinke was asked in the interview that he would have created the role of Jac Garthmann in a very “Hamburg-style” way: “It's a kind of declaration of love to my hometown Hamburg. I'm a stage actor and unfortunately I only had one chance to play hamburgers on stage. And now I am finally lucky with Jac Garthmann to color him linguistically. "
Again this time the introduction does not go through the character of Jac Garthmann, although he plays an important role in the further course of the story and the investigation. The present case is the fourth episode directed by Sven Stricker . Ingeborg Kallweit , who speaks here as the archivist, took over for the Bremen edition of the Tatort series around the investigator duo Chief Inspector Claudia Evernich and Claas Berding as well as the accompanying public prosecutor Dr. Kurt Gröninger takes on the recurring role of pathologist Dr. Elisabeth Michel (see: A clear case , who turns around or laughs ... ).
review
- “It is precisely this change [between the possible motives for the crime] that gives the whole thing the necessary depth; the special fates involved here make the case special. It touches the listener more than the unoriginal subject of white-collar crime could. However, here again I have my problems with the investigator duo, especially with the character of Jac Garthmann. Somehow this character seems a bit strange in this episode and doesn't really want to fit into the story. As interesting as the idea of the music-making undercover agent is, it is also apparently difficult to incorporate it credibly into the radio play. The staging is consistently solid and completely satisfies the story. The sequences in the Polish village are particularly successful, here in particular the acoustics of the scene are conveyed very well. Again a very successful case, which, however, is somewhat robbed of its potential by the scope of action; a problem that is not new to the NDR radio station. If you don't mind that, you'll get a well-told crime thriller - not a highlight of the series, but one of the better ones from Hamburg. "
- “The resolution of the case is clear (...) halfway through the radio play. Because the mentally disturbed perpetrator is played over and over again in cutscenes. You could have simply saved yourself that, then the resolution would have been much more surprising. In addition, there are certain lengths, because the local commissioner and the LKA officer have to know each other again from the past and have a lot of catching up to do. This notion that a previous couple met again through a fall is now a bit overused. But since 'Sunken Graves' sensitively processes two interesting topics (building frenzy and the consequences of displacement) in an authentic radio play, the radio scene is definitely interesting and pleasant to hear. Only the lengths through the commissary constellation and the cutscenes could have been saved. "
- "Since then, all of the state broadcasters have been broadcasting the new ARD Radio Tatort once a month, using the creative potential of their best crime writers and attracting 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 (radiotatort.ard.de) is evidence of the acceptance of these thrillers. "
- “In the media in which the references to radio broadcasts, if any, could only be found with a magnifying glass, radio is being heard again. And the reviews - no matter how they turn out - they are even detailed! "
