Broadcast of 'Polizeiruf 110' Postponed Following Magdeburg Tragedy
ARD delays the airing of 'Widerfahrnis' episode in respect of victims of Magdeburg's recent Christmas market attack.
German broadcaster ARD has postponed a scheduled broadcast of the 'Polizeiruf 110' episode titled 'Widerfahrnis,' initially set for February 2nd.
This decision follows a recent tragic attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg that resulted in six fatalities and almost 300 injuries.
The episode features actors Claudia Michelsen as Hauptkommissarin Doreen Brasch and Felix Vörtler as Kriminalrat Uwe Lemp, focusing on a storyline involving an accident victim whose identity is unknown.
An ARD spokesperson explained that, given the episode's themes of loss and grief, airing it so shortly after the Magdeburg incident would be inappropriate.
The series 'Polizeiruf 110' is closely tied to the Magdeburg community, and the postponement reflects ARD's stance of respect and solidarity toward the victims, their families, and local residents.
The network has indicated that a new broadcast date for the episode will be determined in the future, with current suggestions pointing towards May 4th.
In place of 'Polizeiruf 110,' ARD will air an episode of 'Tatort' from Dresden entitled 'Herz der Dunkelheit,' featuring Karin Hanczewski as Kriminaloberkommissarin Karin Gorniak.
This scheduling change demonstrates ARD's sensitivity to recent events and its commitment to the sentiments of its audience.
