In “Tatort: Darkness” Ulrich Gombrecht murders his wife. The killer is played by Uwe Preuss. Sunday crime fans know him well.
In “Tatort: Darkness” (April 18, Das Erste), Maria Gombrecht (Victoria Trauttmansdorff, 61) is literally wiped out by her husband Ulrich Gombrecht after she wants to leave him. The manipulative and self-righteous killer, who also almost killed his own daughter and previously the inspector Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich, 61), is brilliantly embodied by the Dresden actor Uwe Preuss (born 1961).
Sunday crime thriller fans know him well, because since 2010 he has been part of the permanent cast of the Rostock “Police Call 110” as Henning Röder, head of the homicide squad. And that will not change with the departure of Charly Hübner (49) as Commissioner Bukow. Because he is in the cast of the next episode with the new team König (Anneke Kim Sarnau, 50) and Böwe (Lina Beckmann, 41), “Police call 110: You can’t choose your family”, which will be broadcast on April 24th also listed.
Award-winning films and series
In addition to countless other roles in “Tatort” and “Polizeiruf 110” thrillers, Preuss has basically been in every well-known and award-winning production in recent years. Worth mentioning here are the improv spectacle “The Funeral” (2022), the mini-series “The Palace” (2022), the “Ku’damm” (2018) and the even internationally successful “Germany” series (2015-2020). ), “4 Blocks” (2018), “Check Check” (2019-2021), as well as the films “Operation Sugar” (2013), “The Death of a Policewoman” (2013) and many more.
“It’s always a lot of fun with Uwe”
Also in the third “Charité” season (2021) he exuded his charm as caretaker Fritz “Pflaster” Krug. Why he is so busy could also be because he is apparently not only appreciated by the fans, but also by colleagues. “Charité” season lead actress Nina Gummich (30) said in an interview with spot on news before the start of the season: “It’s always very funny with Uwe, but he’s also the greatest storyteller I know. At the end of the shooting he me his book hot off the press [“Katzensprung”, 2020, Red.] given. I read that while on vacation and I highly recommend it,” she gushed.
