His “crime scene” colleagues acknowledge the service: Ferdinand Hofer looks at the farewell to Leitmayr and Batic with mixed feelings.
The end of the Investigator duo Leitmayr and Batic in the “Tatort” in Munich is getting closer. In March the ARD shows the 96th film of the duo. After 100 cases, in 2026 after 25 years, Udo Wachtveitl (66) and Miroslav Nemec (70). Then Ferdinand Hofer (31), who has been playing her assistant Kalli Hammermann since 2013, takes over the position of the chief investigator. He looks at the farewell with mixed feelings, as he revealed Spot on News on the edge of the 49th German Film Ball in the Bavarian Hof.
“It is of course a crying eye and a laughing eye. An era is coming to an end. But I think it’s nice to have been part of this chapter,” said the actor in the interview. For May, June and July, filming for the very last case of Batic and Leitmayr are planned. Only then will he probably understand that his film bosses really say goodbye. “I think the exit will be an emotional moment. Now it is not yet. Now we all concentrate on the fact that we still produce two good films and tell good stories. But I can very well imagine that the last couple Turntings become emotional, “continued Hofer.
Anticipation for the new colleague
On the other hand, he also predominates the anticipation for his new colleague. From 2026, Ferdinand Hofer will determine in Munich’s “Tatort” together with Carlo Ljubek (48), who will embody Commissioner Nikola Buvak. “I like him very, very much. He is a really wonderful colleague. I think we are a very good team, and I’m really looking forward to working with him,” he enthused from his new partner.
The new Duo Hofer/Ljubek has a very special connection to Wachtveitl and Nemec: Again a Munich man is combined with a Croatian. Hofer finds it “for the Munich ‘crime scene’ that a bit of local politics is represented somewhere. But it is also really funny that you keep the constellation so. I hope we can redeem what you promise from it . “
Incidentally, he had not yet considered a farewell gift for his outgoing colleagues, Hofer confessed. “I thought I was going to say goodbye,” the 31-year-old joked in alluding to the film ball.
