main characters

Georg Wilsberg

Leonard Lansink while filming Wilsberg, 2018

Georg Wilsberg is the namesake of the series. In the first episode And the Dead You Let Rest he was a stamp dealer and was played by Joachim Król . Since the second episode In old friendship , which was only broadcast three years after the first episode, Wilsberg has been an antiquarian, a departure from the novel, and is played by Leonard Lansink . He used to work as a lawyer in the law firm Hoppenheit & Partner, where his goddaughter Alex Holtkamp subsequently took up a position under charges . However, he lost his license. Since then he has been working part-time as a private detective.

Wilsberg is constantly short of money and has to rely on the support of his friends - first Manni , later Ekki and Alex. A running gag is that he silently borrows his friends' cars because he doesn't have one himself. He often hires Ekki and Alex, even against their will, for his investigations.

He also has a strange friendship with Inspector Anna Springer , whom he knows from his time as a lawyer. According to him, he represented many clients against whom she was investigating. This resulted in "a kind of working group - emphasis on common " (episode 4, The murder without a corpse, min. 73). Since Wilsberg pays little attention to laws in his investigative work and very often intrudes into private apartments in search of clues and is surprised there, he brings Anna into conflict, who wants to protect him, but is professionally obliged to arrest him.

For the scripts of the series it has been determined that Wilsberg is not allowed to have a steady relationship with a woman. Apart from his goddaughter, he has no family. In episode 25 “The Jubilee”, however, he learns from a childhood friend that she was pregnant by him, but that she lost the child after being raped.

There are conflicting statements about the reasons for the loss of admission to the bar. In the first episode And The Dead Are Let Rest, Wilsberg's client says: “You reported Commissioner Merschmann for beating up a demonstrator . But Merschmann took revenge and had your license withdrawn. ”In the third episode, Wilsberg and the Dead in the Lake , Wilsberg says he took money from a client's account to set a trap for a corrupt police officer . Things went wrong, the policeman's colleagues covered up the matter, and he lost his license for embezzlement. In the 16th episode call girls there is talking to his arch-rival, the lawyer Debelius, the following dialogue: Debelius says he did, made sure that Wilsberg lost the license because he had embezzled funds from clients. Wilsberg counters that he only wanted to save the fortune of this gambling addict client for the benefit of his wife and children.

Wilsberg's limp is real. The actor Lansink has a damaged ankle - caused by a riding accident - and an artificial hip joint.

Manfred Höch

"Manni" (Heinrich Schafmeister), 2018

Manfred Reinhold Ferdinand "Manni" Höch is a former classmate and best friend of Wilsberg. He first worked in the Münster town hall as a civil servant in the urban planning department in the building authority and also sat on the city council for Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen . Wilsberg always drove around in Manni's red Volvo station wagon. Höch makes perfectionist demands on himself, he always falls for his clumsiness and lack of courage during investigations and is therefore more of a loser figure. Manfred Höch is played by Heinrich Schafmeister .

In the 15th episode, Höch disappears from the immediate Wilsberg area due to a transfer to Bielefeld and only has a few guest appearances:

  • In the 30th episode, Bullenball , a picture of Höch is printed in a newspaper, whereupon Wilsberg calls him at the Bielefeld building authority.
  • In the 35th episode, The Bielefeld Conspiracy , Höch approaches Wilsberg because evidence of a break-in into his office contains an address in Münster.
  • In the 66th episode, Bielefeld 23 , Höch, as Bielefeld's building authority manager, is suspected of consuming drugs and taking bribes for a controversial construction project.

Ekkehardt Talötter

"Ekki" (Oliver Korittke), 2006

Ekkehardt "Ekki" Talkötter is a tax auditor at the Münster tax office and has been with us for the 15th episode when he is supposed to examine Wilsberg's finances. In the course of this work he takes part in Wilsberg's investigation and succeeds Manni as Wilsberg's best friend and involuntary car rental company. From then on, the initially unpleasant tax officer is included in the team and can often give Wilsberg decisive advice, as he can gain professional access to the tax documents of suspects. Over time, Ekki discovered his passion for detective investigations, using his tax auditor's card. His office is in town house 1. Ekki is the timid, reserved part of the collaboration with Wilsberg. Occasionally, he shows a shy interest in Alex Holtkamp .

Ekki's parents live in the fictional village of Horsthausen in the Münsterland and are portrayed by Heinrich Giskes and Brigitte Böttrich . They appear for the first time in episode 34 For Lack of Evidence .

Ekki Talkötter is portrayed by Oliver Korittke .

Alex Holtkamp

"Alex" (Ina Paule Klink), 2018

Alexandra "Alex" Holtkamp is Wilsberg's goddaughter and niece. She does not want to be addressed with her full first name Alexandra. Alex initially studies law at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster, helps out in Wilsberg's antiquarian bookshop and is regularly involved in Wilsberg's investigations. She even has to take her exam because of an urgent Wilsberg case “between the door and the hinge” (episode 18), after which she is employed by the law firm Hoppenheit & Partner, her offices are on Hafenweg in the Münster harbor . Later she has different jobs. She often works for wealthy business people who operate in legal or moral gray areas. After initially behaving loyally to her respective client, she later helps Wilsberg to end his machinations, even if that entails the loss of the job.

Alex Holtkamp has been there since the 4th episode and is played by Ina Paule Klink . In June 2020, Klink announced their impending exit from the series. The last episode with Alex Holtkamp is scheduled to air at the end of the same year.

Anna Springer

"Anna" (Rita Russek) at Wilsberg filming, 2013

Anna Springer is chief inspector of the Münster homicide department and has been friends with Wilsberg from the start. Usually Wilsberg discovers the crimes, which both then try to solve independently of each other. Therefore, the two get into constant conflict and sometimes open argument during their investigations. The love-hate relationship between these two characters is a key element of the series. A mission led by Anna is often Wilsberg's last resort if he has ventured too far, conversely he often protects her from wrong conclusions and he usually gives her the decisive tip for solving the case.

In her private life, Anna feels great sympathy for Wilsberg, who is also fond of her, but represses further feelings. The first kiss occurs in episode 25, The Jubilee, when Anna pretends to be Mrs. Wilsberg and u. a. shares a guest room with him in order to spend the night at the place of the anniversary. The next time in the 31st episode of fresh meat , then again in the 40th episode of the Stallion Parade . In the 58th episode, Morderney , after the case has been resolved , they spend a week's vacation together after Merle has suggested they speak out . In the following episodes, however, no further development of their relationship can be noticed.

Anna Springer is played by Rita Russek .

Overbeck

"Overbeck" (Roland Jankowsky) while shooting Wilsberg, 2018

Chief Inspector Overbeck is the moderately talented assistant to Chief Inspector Springer . He sees himself as a “man of action” and with his cocky, boastful and self-overestimating manner often overshoots his goal, for example by storming an apartment too quickly. The big and busy guy likes to wear sunglasses, but he is sure to get into a faux pas soon. On the other hand, he is often surprisingly right with his initial assumptions, which Anna Springer pushes aside. In relation to Wilsberg, he behaves in a distant or even adversarial manner and likes to treat the "hobby snoop" with malice, but in the end is regularly outdone by him when solving the cases.

Overbeck is played by Roland Jankowsky .

First name

As a running gag, Overbeck has practically no first name in the series, and colleagues only address him with "Overbeck". In the 32nd episode, Tote Hose , his lover says "Ovi" to him; In episode 62 God's work and Satan's coal , Overbeck himself answers the explicit question about his first name with "Kommissar. Kommissar Overbeck".

There are nevertheless written instructions:

  • In episode 28 Oh you deadly ... you can read M. Overbeck on a business card , which the police hands over to a witness because Overbeck is unable to attend. (The witness calls him Ofenbeck several times .)
  • In episode 39, Against the Current , a letter from his electricity supplier can be seen, addressed to Lars Overbeck, Merkenheimer Str. 12, 48143 Münster . The address is fictitious, there is no such street in Münster.
  • As a result of 50 death in the supermarket , the name L. Overbeck can be read on a diploma for the completion of a profiler training course .
  • In episode 53 The Supervisor Merle sees the entry L. Overbeck on this diploma in Overbeck's office and guesses his computer password “Loverbeck” from it.
  • In episode 63 Minus 196 ° , a paternity report is shown that gives the date of birth of the putative father L. Overbeck as March 5, 1968.
  • In episode 68, Father's Joy , L. Overbeck is identified as the owner of an abused Internet connection, but this time at the fictitious address Edelbachstrasse 59, 48143 Münster .

Minor characters

Grabowski

Grabowski is Ekki's choleric superior in the tax office. You never know where you are with him - he can sharply criticize Ekki in a moment and call him his best colleague shortly afterwards. At work, he is emphatically correct, but tends to excessive debauchery in his free time or at company parties.

He is played by Vittorio Alfieri .

Merle

"Merle" (Janina Fautz), 2015

Anna's teenage goddaughter appears first in episode 53, The Supervisor . She is cheeky to the point of insolence, but warm, determined, energetic and loves mental work. Due to a riding accident, she is paraplegic and has to use a wheelchair , which does not prevent her from interfering in Anna or Wilsberg's investigations at any time. She feels a clear sympathy towards Overbeck. In the series, she creates a caricature of a digital native : she solves even the trickiest computer problems in no time and naturally uses cracker methods in her investigations .

Merle is portrayed by Janina Fautz .

Guest appearances

In various episodes, well-known people can be seen who have taken on minor roles, mainly cameo appearances :

Wilsberg episodes

Opening credits

In the opening credits is the title Why Did You Do It? heard by British blues rock band Stretch from 1975.

In the first 15 episodes there is no uniform opening credits, but the episodes begin immediately as a film in which the actors and staff members have been incorporated into the text. Only with episode 16 is there a specially designed opening credits that introduce the main actors with their pictures and names.

With the 41st episode, Naked on the Net , a newly designed opening credits could be seen, which deviates from the old, comic-like template. The song Why Did You Do It? retained, but a new version used.

Public performances

Open air performance at the Aasee

The episodes of the crime series are regularly shown on the Aasee terraces in Münster. The Erbdrostenhof was also used as a backdrop for open-air cinema performances.

The new episodes of the TV series are regularly shown in the Cineplex Münster before the TV premiere, with the main actors occasionally being present. One exception is the episode The Bielefeld Conspiracy , which premiered on February 16, 2012 at the Cinestar in Bielefeld , when both screenings were sold out.

On October 15, 2011, five episodes were shown in the “Days of Provincial Film ” series in Münster in a “Long Wilsberg Night” in the “Wünsch Dir eine Wilsberg” vote, an action by the Filmservice Münster.Land, which most votes received. Leonard Lansink was present at the demonstrations.

Interactive offers

In 2001, ZDF started a project under the name “eScript” in which viewers were given the opportunity to influence the action of an episode. In the fourth episode, Wilsberg and the Murder Without a Corpse , it was possible to participate in the creation of the script as part of the eScript project. The script for the ninth episode, Last Way Out: Mord , was developed entirely on the Internet for the first time in 2002 as part of the eScript project , which was a premiere for German television.

With the consequences of Lack of Evidence and The Bielefeld Conspiracy , two ZDF TV films were linked for the first time through an interactive online offering in cross-media style as a fictional blog for one of the supporting roles.

Awards

The eScript project , which enabled viewers to influence the scripts of Wilsberg episodes, won the 2001 Grimme Online Award , which was presented for the first time this year.

On the occasion of the 25th episode, The Jubilee , Leonard Lansink received the silver town hall medal from Münster's Lord Mayor Berthold Tillmann on April 29, 2008 . For the 50th episode, Lansink was promised the gold town hall medal.

The episode Oh you deadly ... was awarded the bronze medal at the 2011 New York Festival.

Audience ratings

According to the ZDF, Wilsberg is one of the station's most successful programs. According to the broadcaster, an average of 5.5 to 6 million viewers follow the first broadcasts of the crime episodes. On average, the episodes achieve a market share of around 18%. Market shares of around 12.5% ​​are achieved in the audience group of 18 to 49 year olds.

On January 3, 2015, the 46th episode ( No way back ) was broadcast for the first time , a record for audience ratings. The total audience reached 7.35 million viewers, which corresponded to a market share of 22.6%.

However, this was exceeded again by the 50th episode, but only in terms of absolute audience numbers. 7.58 million viewers corresponded to 21.9%.

On January 6, 2018, Wilsberg managed to reach more than eight million viewers for the first time with the episode Morderney . With 8.31 million viewers, the old record was exceeded and a market share of 25.3% was achieved.

The episode Father Joy reached a new record on April 18, 2020 with 8.79 million viewers, which corresponds to a market share of over 26%.

running gag

As a running gag , the name Bielefeld appears in every episode , be it in writing or orally. This is partly because the responsible ZDF editor Martin R. Neumann comes from Bielefeld. As a result, The Bielefeld Conspiracy , Neumann said: "The film is the highlight of our constant Bielefeld homage" .

Other running gags are based on how Wilsberg constantly appropriates the cars and cell phones of others without being asked; the rapidly escalating arguments with Anna, who refuses to support Georg in his investigation and throws him out of her office; Overbeck's appearances as a decidedly cool police officer, which always lead to a disaster.

Bielefeld location

Dominic Müller , Roland Jankowsky , Leonard Lansink , Mira Bartuschek and Stefan Haschke on the set for the shoot in Bielefeld, October 2018

After Wilsberg's friend Manni was transferred to Bielefeld in 2005, the largest reference made to the city to date was made in 2012 with the result of the Bielefeld Conspiracy . The episode was not shot in Bielefeld, but in Münster and Cologne.

Wilsberg episodes 64 and 66 are set in Bielefeld and were filmed there in October 2018. In episode 66 Heinrich Schafmeister plays again as Manni Höch .

The Wilsberg novels

Since 1990 Jürgen Kehrer has published 19 of the Wilsberg crime novels set in Münster , two of them together with the author Petra Würth . They were all published by Grafit Verlag in Dortmund .

The Wilsberg comic

The illustrator Jörg Hartmann worked for over twelve years in Münster's Erphoviertel on the graphic implementation of the Wilsberg fabric as a comic adaptation. During the production phase, a specially set up Wilsberg blog reported on the progress of the work. In summer 2012 the 80-page comic was published as a hardcover edition by Carlsen Verlag . A luxury edition of the comic was published at the same time by EXTRAKT-Verlag, which Hartmann founded especially for this purpose. The comic is an adaptation of the second Wilsberg episode In old friendship , in which the dialogues of the author Jürgen Kehrer are included. According to Jörg Hartmann, the first volume will be continued with a collection of shorter comics based on the short story volume "Wilsbergs Welt". The first comic with the title "Wilsberg - In old friendship" was continued with the second volume "Wilsberg - Um Kopf und Kragen". This was again published by Carlsen Comics in January 2018.

Wilsberg in Munster

Since 2003, StattReisen Münster has been offering guided tours of the city under the aspect of Wilsberg in cooperation with the press office of the city of Münster . In just under 90 minutes, visitors to the city are shown the most important scenes in the series in real life, for example the Solder antiquarian bookshop on Frauenstrasse, which was once a coppersmith's and is called Antiquariat Wilsberg in the film , or the Prinzipalmarkt , which is often called Backdrop serves.

From January 2007 to October 2007 the Café Wilsberg was operated in the Kreuzviertel , where, among other things, the premiere party for the Miss election took place. In 2010, the city of Münster gave every citizen who registered with his primary residence in Münster a Wilsberg DVD with the two episodes of Doctor Games and Oh you deadly… .

Relation to the Münster crime scene

Just like Wilsberg , two episodes of the Tatort television series with investigators Thiel and Boerne have been filmed in Münster each year since 2002 . It was even planned to start a case in a Wilsberg episode in a co-production of the two television series and end it in a crime scene episode on the following broadcast day. The idea is said to have been voiced by a reporter for the Bild newspaper during a break in filming over a beer . However, the screenwriters of the two series decided against implementing this idea. There was a similar cooperation in 1991 with the television crime thriller Murderous Decision .

The two Münster crime thrillers Wilsberg and the crime scene around the investigator duo Thiel and Boerne, who are active in Münster, have never been broadcast within 24 hours, as was the case with the Stallion Parade and The Chinese Princess on October 19 and 20, 2013. This led to renewed discussion about cooperation between the two crime fiction formats. The idea of ​​a crime fiction cooperation commented on ZDF television game director Reinhold Elschot, who studied German, journalism and philosophy in Münster from 1969 to 1975 and fell “in love with this very special Westphalian city” as “a really good idea”. The WDR spokeswoman Barbara Feiereis rejected speculations about a cross-format double episode, since repeating such double episodes requires increased coordination work in the program planning between the two broadcasters ARD and ZDF . In addition, bringing together the staff of both thrillers is a demanding task for the scriptwriters. Feiereis described the situation at WDR with the words: "We are currently not planning any such joint project". She was quoted as saying: “This is not an issue for us!” Elschot from ZDF speculated that such a “crossover thriller” as a two-parter would initially not come about, but would be “short, surprising guest appearances on the“ other side ”” quite conceivable.

When asked "What do you think of the idea of ​​a collaboration between Wilsberg and the Tatort team?", 83.33% of the 36 respondents in a non-representative survey by the Münsterschen Zeitung answered : "Wilsberg together with Thiel and Boerne: That is an original idea . ”16.67% answered:“ I think little of that. Two successful Münster crime novels are better than a mixture of both. ”The answer options“ I neither like the Münster crime scene nor Wilsberg. ”And“ I generally don't care about TV crime novels ”were not chosen by any of the respondents.

A survey conducted in parallel by the Westfälische Nachrichten among 205 readers produced similar results. To the question “Could you imagine an interaction between Boerne / Thiel and Wilsberg?”, 76.59% of the respondents answered “Yes, that would be a great thing!”, While 8.29% answered “Mhh, I don't know. "Voted and 15.12% with" No, definitely not! "Rejected such a cooperation.

In the episode The Bielefeld Conspiracy , the two names Thiel and Boerne can be read in a scene on a doorbell of an apartment building. This is a homage by ZDF to the crime series Tatort by ARD , in which the coroner Prof. Dr. Karl-Friedrich Boerne, played by Jan Josef Liefers , at the side of Chief Detective Frank Thiel, played by Axel Prahl , investigate in Münster. In the episode “ Tote Hose” from 2011, a reference to the crime scene investigators occurs in minute 45 (also 70) when Wilsberg drives to the harbor and in the background a company hall bears the name Thiel in large letters. The two crime scene investigators also appear in the Wilsberg comic .

17.5% of Münster residents prefer Wilsberg in direct comparison with the episodes of the crime series Tatort set in Münster , which 52.8% prefer. Both crime series are rated equally by 21.5%, while 7.4% are not interested in either series. Younger viewers tend to prefer the crime scene. Around two thirds of those questioned stated that neither of the two crime series conveys a typical image of Münster.
