Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Matula originated in the long-running ZDF series 'Ein Fall für zwei' (1981-2013), making this a rare theatrical revival of an iconic German TV detective.
Claus Theo Gärtner played Matula for 33 years; this 2017 film was his farewell to the character after over 300 episodes.
