Hannelore Elsner: Many years ago she was the "crime scene" commissioner

Hannelore Elsner (1942-2019, "Everything on sugar") can be seen in the "Crime Scene: The Good and the Bad" (April 19, 8:15 p.m., the first) in one of her last roles. In addition to Margarita Broich (59) and Wolfram Koch (58) as the Frankfurt investigative team Janneke and Brix, she plays the former commissioner Elsa Bronski, who is on the trail of old cases in the basement of the Presidium. It is not her first appearance as an investigator in the "crime scene".

In action as Lea Sommer

Elsner, in two earlier "Tatort" episodes as Chief Inspector Lea Sommer, determined: The "Tatort: ​​dangerous transmission" was broadcast on March 31, 1997 in the first, the "Tatort: ​​nightmare" on May 4, 1997. Both films played in Hamburg . However, these were so-called long episodes of the crime series "Die Kommissarin" (Das Erste), which, like the new "Tatort", also played in Frankfurt am Main and in which Elsner played the title role from 1994 to 2006.

In addition, the actress has appeared in a number of major episodes in cult crime format throughout her career. Hannelore Elsner died on April 21, 2019 at the age of 76 in a Munich hospital.

What is the "crime scene: the good and the bad" about?

After a night of drinking, Anna Janneke (Broich) and Paul Brix (Koch) are summoned to a crime scene with a hangover: a man was apparently tortured and murdered in a lonely forest hut. To her astonishment, police chief Ansgar Matzerath (Peter Lohmeyer) confesses at the crime scene. He claims to have killed the man because he kidnapped and raped his wife seven years ago. He does not value mitigating circumstances and demands a severe punishment for himself.

Complicated by extensive renovation work in the commissariat and parallel coaching sessions, the commissioners begin their interrogation. Is Matzerath really the culprit? Is the victim really the rapist of his wife? What does the long-retired Commissioner Elsa Bronski (Elsner) know, who worked on the case at the time but did not solve it. Piece by piece, Janneke, Brix and crime assistant Jonas (Isaak Dentler) put the pieces of the puzzle together and come up with new questions that affect their own work and their self-image as police officers.
