Bella Block: Last episode after 24 years
Now it is time to say goodbye to a popular investigator figure, because "Bella Block" leaves the television stage. With the broadcast of the 38th episode today Saturday (24.3., 20:15 clock, ZDF) ends the crime series after 24 years. Since 1994, actress Hannelore Hoger (75, "The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum") as Commissioner Block solved her cases.
For the first film, the leading actress and director Max Färberböck (67, "Aimée & Jaguar") was awarded the Adolf Grimme Prize. Many other trophies, including some German television awards and German television crime prices testify to the quality of the series.
That's what it's all about in "Am Abgrund"
The last case, titled "On the Abyss" leads the investigator into a swamp of corruption and abuse of office in the ranks of the Hamburg judiciary. The film begins with a meal, to the prosecutor Klaus Dieter Mehlhorn (Hansjürgen Hürrig, 73) invites Bella Block shortly before his retirement. He needs her help in a last, explosive case.
But before he can trust Bella, Mehlhorn is killed by an attack. Bella just escapes by accident. The investigation leads to an urban housing company with dirty leasing practices. To whom was Mehlhorn too close on the trail that he had to die?
As farewell as a Star squad
In addition to Hoger and Hürrig, these farewell episodes include German actresses Sabin Tambrea (33, "Ku'damm"), Devid Striesow (44, Saarbrücken "Tatort"), Corinna Harfouch (63, "Fack Ju Göhte 3 "), Lilith Stangenberg (29," Grießnockerlaffäre "), Rainer Bock (63," Arthur & Claire "), Rudolf Kowalski (69," SOKO Leipzig ") and Aljoscha Stadelmann (* 1974," Hard Brocken ").
And how is Hannelore Hoger doing now?
And what are the plans of the native of Hamburg after the end of her legendary role? "Traveling" and "resting" are on the list, as she said in an interview with the broadcaster. But there are already "some offers of different varieties". Because one thing she does not want to do is to "sit and knit at home" - she has to get used to it again.
She is looking forward to a bit more "freedom and more free time", says Hoger. For what? "Whether it's an exhibition or whatever, or someone's birthday, I can not even go to the funerals, and there, I think, it's going to be critical," she says.
By the way, after the last flap, there were "balloons and surprise ice" ...
