Darmstädter Krimilust 2026 | 4

In the organizer's words:

Andreas Roß talks to...chief inspector
Björn Rothmüller about trace evidence and crime scene work

Björn Rothmüller is the site manager of the identification service in Erbach and has a wealth of experience in the field of trace evidence and crime scene work.

Crime scene work includes all measures that are carried out at the scene of a crime. The aim is to reconstruct the course of events and obtain objective evidence for the investigation. The work is carried out systematically and with a high level of expertise so that no traces are destroyed or overlooked. Important pillars of crime scene work are securing evidence (visualization and packaging of evidence) and crime scene documentation (photographic, written, digital).

Chief Inspector Björn Rothmüller will provide information about all of this on this evening.

He will read...
Alexander Pfeiffer "Ballad of Terror"

Alexander Pfeiffer was born in 1971 in Wiesbaden, where he still lives today. He is a writer, literary organizer, moderator and leader of writing workshops. In addition to three volumes of short stories and four volumes of poetry, he has published five crime novels and edited the anthology series "KrimiKommunale". He was awarded the Friedrich Glauser Prize in 2014 for his short crime novel "Auf deine Lider senk ich Schlummer".
His new crime novel "Terrorballade" is dedicated to the legacy of the Red Army Faction (RAF) - a topic that has become unexpectedly topical with the arrest of former terrorist Daniela Klette on February 26, 2024.

Sänger is unemployed. He used to be a projectionist, he doesn't want to be a private detective. And yet some people think he is just that. So does the woman who asks him to track down her former lover Robert 'Robby' Zimmermann. This is a highly explosive assignment, as Robby once gained access to the RAF as an undercover agent and was responsible for the decisive strike by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution against the "anti-imperialist urban guerrillas".

Music: Hennessy

Hennessy is a duo - consisting of "Hennes" Linnebach and "Sissy" Rank-Kuhn - that is particularly dedicated to the songs of the 60s and 70s. The motto is: two voices, two guitars and a bit of percussion...
The songs of the Blues Brothers, who, as always, are on the road "on behalf of the Lord", will provide the musical thriller feeling. The fact that in this case a "Blues Brother" is active with a "Blues Sister" should not detract from the enjoyment, and the audience is invited to sing and groove along!
