Munster (NRW): The enemies of smoking breathed a sigh of relief. Millions of fans took a deep breath. He will breathe a sigh of relief in the future. A touching farewell to a true crime legend. After 23 years as public prosecutor Wilhelmine Klemm, Mechthild Großmann and her team celebrated the premiere of the final chord on Tuesday.
The last “crime scene” case with Großmann was shown on TV in December
525 million viewers since its inception in 2002 and an estimated 250 packs of cigarettes during filming – The 48th case took place on December 7 and was the last case of Mechthild Großmann. Title: “The Invention of the Wheel”.
The “Fiderallala” case was watched by an average of twelve million viewers most of the spring. The crime thriller is currently one of the most successful films of the year
Großmann left “crime scene” voluntarily, but did not retire. “Have you ever been 77 years old?” the actress (born in Münster) asked reporters a clever counter-question before a cinema event in Münster (five sold-out halls), when they wanted to know why the unmistakable soundbite in the murder hunt had now ended. “Look, I’ll be old soon. That’s a good answer.”
Smart and intelligent in real life too: theater and TV star Mechthild Großmann
Almost the entire hit team of Germany’s most popular crime thriller (up to 15 million viewers) came to the premiere, which was also a touching farewell. Axel Prahl“Vaddern” Claus-Dieter Clausnitzer (86), “Schrader” Björn Meyer (36), “Alberich” Christine Urdik (55). Assistant “Boerne” (Jan Josef Liefers, 61, reads with his wife Anna Loos, 55, at the same time) to BILD: “Working with Mechthild was a gift for all of us. And without giving too much away. Her farewell to Münster will be a gift for viewers.”
Before this new case, there is a five-minute compilation of special scenes from many years in cinema – the first laughs and tears the audience can hear or see.
There was a mistake at the start
Nobody forgets these scenes: the beginning, when Thiel mistakes the public prosecutor on the phone for “Mr. Public Prosecutor”, the dance performance by long-time dancer Pina Bausch with Liefers and the subtle, slightly suppressed gasp of “Good job, Thiel!”. “crime scene”-Giant Axel Prahl even got down on one knee for his partner to say “thank you” for the wonderful years.
German TV and Münster will miss its crime queen.

What’s next for Grossmann? No murder on Sunday night, but with lots of theater. Großmann has revealed his plans: a reading of Pushkin (“The Snowstorm”) with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, Spanish music and a text by Don Quixote. “In Dresden I’ll be reading Alan Bennett comedies, and, and, and. I’m looking forward to lots of literature and theater. There will also be ‘The Legacy’ at the Schauspielhaus Münster in February and March.”
There it was again inside hers Region.
