In "Tatort: Leben Tod Ekstasy" (October 16, 8:15 p.m., the first), the Frankfurt commissioners Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich, 62) and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch, 60) get it with a controversial psychoanalyst and the only survivor to do a psycholysis session. Said Dr. Adrian Goser is played by the award-winning actor and passionate theater star Martin Wuttke (60, "Inglourious Basterds"). For die-hard Sunday crime fans, this is a reason to celebrate, because they should know him.
From 2008 to 2015, the native of Gelsenkirchen solved various murder cases in and around Leipzig as Commissioner Andreas Keppler together with actress Simone Thomalla (57) as colleague and ex-partner Eva Saalfeld. The investigative duo Saalfeld and Keppler said goodbye in their seventh year at the end of April 2015 with the "crime scene: low instincts".
For Thomalla, who was born in Leipzig, the "Spring" series (since 2011) continued successfully. Wuttke appeared again in 2015 in a Sunday thriller, in the Murot case "Tatort - Who am I?". Wuttke played himself. This was followed by roles in films and series such as "Gladbeck" (2018), "Ottilie von Faber-Castell - A Courageous Woman" (2019), "Babylon Berlin" (2020), "Kaine Dies Here Today". (2021) or "Confessions of the imposter Felix Krull" (2021).
Incidentally, the Saxon "Tatort" (MDR) also said goodbye to Leipzig with Saalfeld and Keppler. Karin Hanczewski (40) and Martin Brambach (54) have been investigating in Dresden since 2016, and Cornelia Gröschel (34) since 2019.
In addition to the comeback on a "crime scene" set, there was also a professional reunion with ex-partner Margarita Broich during the shooting of "crime scene: life death ecstasy". At that time, she took over the baton, so to speak, within the family. She solved her first case as a Frankfurt investigator in May 2015.
Wuttke and Broich have been a couple for over 25 years and have two sons together. In 2018 they announced their separation. Broich told the "Bild" newspaper at the time: "Martin and I broke up some time ago." However, they are "still closely and friendly connected". Broich also revealed at the time that she had a new man by her side: "Yes, I am very happy to have found happiness that may have come late, but was great for me." She has been married to the lawyer Dirk Schmalenbach since 2019.
And the patchwork family continues to grow: Wuttke and Broich became grandparents in 2020, as the proud grandmother revealed to "Bild am Sonntag" in summer 2021. The eldest son of the two had children for the first time during the lockdown.
