Daniel Sträßer takes his position as chief inspector Adam Schürk at the Saarland “crime scene”. His role is presented in an unusual way. That is what the actor himself says.
Actor Daniel Sträßer (born 1987), born in Völklingen, Saarland, is one of the two main researchers on the new “Tatort” team in Saarland. Right at the beginning of the first case “Das fleißige Lieschen” (April 13, first), the Berlin resident was commissioned by Adam Schürk in an impressive way. In a news spot interview, the artist reveals what he thought when he read the scene in the script and what he really likes about the extreme character. Incidentally, it also tells how surprisingly it is interwoven with other upcoming “crime scene” stars.
You are now part of the “crime scene” cosmos. What does that mean for you?
Daniel Sträßer: First of all, it means that if you ask him what he is doing or what he is shooting, everyone knows the format. I don’t think there is anyone who has never seen a “crime scene” and can at least imagine what it means or have an attitude towards the format. The other day, at an event at the Berlinale, I have Ulrike Folkerts [58, “Tatort”-Kommissarin Lena Odenthal] I met and it was a good time to introduce myself to her as a colleague.
Are you friends with a fellow actor who is also on a “crime scene” team? If so, what did you want to know about everything?
Sträßer: Luckily, my lifelong friend Jasna Fritzi Bauer will [31] from this year also commissioned at the “crime scene” in Bremen. Another good friend Carol Schuler [33], takes over the research at Zurich “Tatort” and most recently I have with Corinna Harfouch [65] shooting, which will soon investigate in Berlin. I talked to these three more, but we are all newbies when it comes to investigating the “crime scene.” But I think you grow up fast, and as a regular consumer of crime thrillers, you’re short enough.
What is your favorite “crime scene” team? And is there any case that has particularly impressed you?
Sträßer: I don’t have a favorite team directly. I like how Jörg Hartmann creates his Faber as paper, and I also do a lot with young colleagues from Dresden. However, my favorite crime scene comes from Wiesbaden. I think it was called “Long live death” [2016]. Ulrich Tukur [62] and Jens Harzer [48] in a phenomenal exchange of blows. Big tv
How was the first and last day of filming “Das diligent Lieschen”?
Sträßer: The first day of filming was extremely exhausting and exciting. It was raining madly, I remember. And we didn’t have a lunch break either because several photos and interviews were taken. Oddly, I really don’t remember the last day of filming. But I can say a lot, that day I realized that a team of strangers at first had become a family.
Which scene will you personally remember?
Sträßer: I will especially remember the scenes with Marie Anne Fliegel [80, Rolle: Lida Tellmann]. How tender and touching she played this role and with what emotional force she told about the fate of her character. That left no dry eye or impassive heart.
Did you know your fellow commissioner, actor Vladimir Burlakov, before filming?
Sträßer: Vladimir and I met for the first time at the casting. And it went on right away, I’d say. That was the starting signal for many gatherings, with a “crime scene” connection and such a friendly nature.

What do you really like about your role, Commissioner Adam Schürk?
Sträßer: Everything. I find that the figures that author Hendrik Hölzemann gave us here are incredibly multifaceted and radiant on their own. What I like about Adam in particular is that he often looks cool, but he is anything but cool. The explosive force, which then shoots out of a calm state, explodes and, at least apparently, goes out again.
Commissioner Schürk has a cheeky scene from the start. On the bus, defend a child against an attacking parent. What did you think when you read that in the script?
Sträßer: I thought: Wow! This is how you present a figure. I think a brief moment speaks volumes and arouses interest in the viewer.
Would you call it a form of civil courage, how does Adam Schürk behave there?
Sträßer: It is not my personal way. That would be much more pacifist. But yes, it is a way to respond to an injustice. I leave the moral evaluation of the way to others. But I think it’s a thousand times better than looking the other way too often in society.
Has anything personally happened to you where you had to show civil courage?
Sträßer: We all face each other constantly, especially now, in a situation where we have to show civil courage. At Europe’s external borders, people are denied their right to asylum and are inactively observed, as sooner or later a virus will lead to mass death. The cynicism with which this inhumanity is silenced here by politics leaves me speechless. We cannot simply get together and take to the streets to defend these people in the camps and their rights, but there are other ways to protest and work for human rights. Check: #leavenoonebehind
How and with whom will you see the first broadcast?
Sträßer: Yes, that was planned before the virus as a great shared event for me in front of the projector. Now it will probably take place in the nearest circle.
How excited are you about the comments? Is the tension higher than usual?
Sträßer: I am very, very excited by the comments. I already have a preview in Saarbrücken at the Max Ophüls Festival. It was all very positive. But I am not tense. I know we made a good movie and I’m happy when people finally get to see it.
What is your next project?
Sträßer: Well, if I knew that. At the moment all shooting stops. I was about to do a comedy in Cologne, next to Corinna Harfouch, but for a while now all wheels have stopped …
