Private detective stories around a harbor

The series is inextricably linked with its main actor, Klaus Löwitsch. He was specialized in rough, gnarled loner types for decades. And so it is in this TV series. The private detective stories are set against the backdrop of the Duisburg inland ports. And so the main character drives in a small motorboat with a typical bobble hat and with his usual grim expression through the harbor to clear up his cases. Of the German detective series of the time, it is one of the best.

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
