action

It's Christmas Eve . While Wilsberg is buying a Christmas tree at the Christmas market in Münster , Ekki is sitting with his boss Grabowski and his secretary at the tax office's Christmas party in a corner bar and Alex is getting a present for Inspector Springer next door at the Thies jeweler . While she is standing at the cash register, a robber disguised as Santa Claus storms the shop and threatens the saleswoman with a gun. After he flees the shop with jewelry, he is almost run over while crossing the street by Wilsberg, who is about to drive his fir tree home. Due to Wilsberg's emergency braking, a subsequent black sedan also had to brake hard and hit the rear of Wilsberg's (Ekkis of course) car. The trunk of the black limousine jumps open and a gagged and tied man comes to face, but Wilsberg cannot see because he is standing in front of the limousine. Grabowski and his secretary, who are about to disappear home together, are stunned to see this and also see the man in the trunk. The secretary wants to call the police, but her boss doesn't want their affair to be exposed. By the time the two came to an agreement, the black limousine had left the scene of the accident. But the police, under the direction of the person on duty, Overbeck, arrives as they have been called from the jewelry store. Shortly afterwards Alex comes out of the shop and informs Wilsberg about the attack on the jewelry store. Inspector Overbeck, on the other hand, was locked unnoticed in the jeweler's vault, where no one can hear him in the late afternoon of Christmas Eve.

Meanwhile, Santa Claus takes refuge in the restaurant where the tax office's Christmas party takes place and rushes to the men's room, where he wants to change and stow the loot. He is observed unnoticed by Ekki, who realizes that Santa Claus is a very pretty, young woman. In the rush, she leaves her Santa Claus costume on a sink and leaves the restaurant. Ekki, who has no idea that it is a jewel robber, would like to get to know her better and tries to trace her through the Santa suit that was left behind. He succeeds surprisingly quickly and he can invite the jewel thief Nadja for a coffee.

Wilsberg and Alex are now on their way home when they meet a suicidal "Santa Claus" who wants to throw himself off a bridge. Wilsberg stops, can persuade him to abandon his plan and drives him to his next place of work, where he is supposed to give presents to children as Santa Claus. Once there, Wilsberg happened to see the limousine that had hit him in a back yard. When he wants to take a closer look, he is threatened with a gun by a stranger, who is then put out of action by Alex. Wilsberg calls Commissioner Springer, who is actually off duty. He suspects that the jeweler Friedhelm Thies was kidnapped by protection rackets in the car because his valuable ring was lying in the trunk. Springer takes the man into custody and tries to find out something about the possible kidnapping from him. Meanwhile, Wilsberg drives with Alex to Thies' villa. There they surprisingly see Ekki, who is just visiting Nadja. They both drive away by car and Wilsberg and Alex secretly follow them to the old potash factory, where the jeweler is actually being held. A ringing cell phone makes the kidnappers aware of Wilsberg and Alex and takes them under their control. Nadja offers the kidnappers her booty so that Thies will be released, but they ask for the key to the safe, because there are supposedly diamonds in the millions. When they open the vault, Overbeck stands in front of them and wants to arrest the gangsters. However, they slam the door, but are caught by surprise shortly afterwards by Ekki and Wilsberg, who were able to free themselves.

Unfortunately, Nadja kept a secret from Ekki that she was Thies' wife and so he made himself hopeful again. She had carried out the robbery in the expectation that she would be able to buy her husband out and her insurance would have compensated for the financial loss she would have had to pay in the event of a robbery.

background

reception

Audience ratings

criticism

Kurt Sagatz from the Potsdamer Neuesten Nachrichten wrote : “Whether the Christmas tree that Wilsberg drives through the area in Ekki's battered car, the coveted orange jam for the Christmas roast, the stupidity of Overbeck, the obligatory mention of Bielefeld as a greeting to the ZDF editor Martin Neumann or the string of Santa Claus motifs - that director Hans-Günther Bücking managed to deliver a 'Wilsberg' that is well worth seeing is almost a pre-Christmas miracle. "

Jakob Bokelmann from Oddsmeter gave an "absolute recommendation to watch a film that cannot be described with many words, but which conjures a smile on the face of the viewer with a lot of wit and originality", because "the script by Eckehard Ziedrich, the directorial work by Hans-Günther Bücking and the unmistakable 'Wilsberg' ensemble have created a crime comedy that defies description. "

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv also rated it positively and said: “Instead of the annual Christmas TV game, ZDF decided on a 'Wilsberg' special in 2009.” Not only is the idea “good”, but “the execution is even better. Münster is small and the microcosm of this fast-paced crime comedy is manageable. ”This time there is no murder, but the episode is very“ fast-paced, dense [and] funny. A real treat! "
