Touching farewell in the Nuremberg crime scene: main commissioner Ringelhahn goes!

Nuremberg (dpa)-Sudden farewells are not uncommon in the world of crime novels, but the new Franconian “crime scene” brings a special turn. While spectators often expect dramatic exits from the main actors, chief commissioner Paula Ringelhahn, who is embodied by Dagmar Manzel, has designed her last appearance in an unexpected way: she retires instead of dying in a bloody finale. This is particularly noteworthy, since the episode on Sunday, October 6th, at 8:15 p.m. is broadcast and at the same time Manzel's tenth and last "crime scene" is.

The episode entitled “Nevertheless” not only offers an emotional farewell, but also tells a complex story that is about the suicide of 25-year-old Lenni. Lenni sat in prison after he was convicted of the violent death of a woman. His sisters, Maria and Lisa, do everything possible to prove his innocence. Paula Ringelhahn and her colleague Felix Voss, played by Fabian Hinrichs, take up the investigation and encounter a network of violence and grief that brings together several families.

The dramatic highlight

The episode culminates in an intensively staged shootout in the streets of Nuremberg, which is reminiscent of the stylistic features of a Quentin Tarantino film. While many fates are at stake in this scene, the heart of the narrative is also visible: Ringelhahn says goodbye to her team in the police headquarters with visible tears. This mixture of drama and emotional moments gives the episode a special grade.

The director Max Färberböck together with Danny Rosness not only told “” not only a gripping story, but also addressed the increasing spiral of grief and hatred between two affected families. Ultimately, this leads to Ringelhahn and Voss at the last minute of a celebration to prevent further acts of violence. Although the drama has an overwhelming effect in some places, the characters find comfort in a conciliatory farewell, and Manzel, in particular In an interview with the German Press Agency, Dagmar Manzel explained that she had made peace with her farewell. On September 1, she celebrated her 66th birthday, which was the perfect time for her to make room for other artists in the series. "I go with great joy and beautiful memories in the heart," she remarked, but emphasized that she is by no means retiring. There are still many projects that she wants to implement.

The question remains who will be received as a new investigator figure in the Franconian “crime scene” in the future. According to the Bavarian Radio, it has so far been unclear whether someone will kick new footsteps at all. In the next episode, Felix Voss will initially investigate alone, but will continue to support his partner Wanda Goldwasser, played by Eli Wasserscheid.
