In “Polizeiruf 110: Cottbus kopflos” (November 12th, 8:15 p.m., the first) the Brandenburg investigator trio Vincent Ross (André Kaczmarczyk, 37), Alexandra Luschke (Gisa Flake, 38) and Karl Rogov (Frank Leo) celebrates Schröder, 62) his debut – at least the joint one. All three have already been hunting criminals in the German-Polish border area. Ross has been permanently involved in “Hilde’s Heritage” since the beginning of 2022, Luschke investigated the “Hermann” case at the end of 2021 and Rogov in “Police Call 110: The God of Bankruptcy” at the beginning of 2023.
“Gisa Flake and Frank Leo Schröder have us in their episodic roles […] strongly impressed. We are pleased that we have the investigative team around André Kaczmarczyk as Vincent Ross in the ‘“Police call 110′ of the rbb can be expanded in the future to include the characters Alexandra Luschke and Karl Rogov,” say the responsible editors Cooky Ziesche (63) and Daria Moheb Zandi (50) about their new trio. The three will be seen in changing investigative constellations in the future, the broadcaster continues.
Carnival in Cottbus?
Ross, Luschke and Rogov start with a crime thriller that takes place during the carnival season in Brandenburg – which is somewhat less well known nationally. Many spectators are likely to associate Carnival with the Rhineland or are familiar with the southern German customs of Fasching and Fasnacht. They are not alone, the Cologne director Christoph Schnee (51, “Miss Merkel – A Uckermark Crime”) also did not know the colorful hustle and bustle in the Brandenburg university town.
“No, I didn’t know about the carnival in Cottbus. Even when I was in Cottbus for the first time in 1995 for the Federal Garden Show, I had no knowledge of it,” he admits in the rbb interview. When researching the crime thriller, it was all the more interesting that carnival was celebrated so big in Cottbus. “As a Rhinelander, I naturally have carnival in my blood and am happy to see how different and yet always special the traditions in Germany can be,” he adds and reveals another detail from the filming: “I was really looking forward to it. that we could actually film in the Cottbus carnival and that I could also experience the largest carnival parade in East Germany.”
