The Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann, himself a historical figure, praises his compatriot Felix Huby for having created “a figure for eternity” with the Stuttgart commissioner Bienzle. Huby, who had also worked as a product tester and advertising copywriter, invented the Stuttgart commissioner as the flesh of his flesh, a slightly crumpled, world-weary Swabian philosopher, like his creator born in Dettenhausen near Tübingen, criminalist of course, but in case of doubt the quick prayer had to ” Dear Herrgöttle von Biberach” and the trip to the Swabian Alb.
When he still bore the good Alemannic name Eberhard Hungerbühler, Huby had in Stuttgart Mirror-office worked. He observed the RAF trial in Stammheim so sympathetically that it appears in the cash files that were smuggled out of the cells. Unlike others, Huby later did not deny that he felt sympathy for the prisoners, and that too is documented for eternity. Huby and the correspondent of Frankfurt general were instructed by the accused terrorists in radical lowercase letters to “immediately obtain all surveys that have been carried out by the opinion research institutes on the raf/actions of the raf since 70”. When Baader, Ensslin and Raspe were buried in Stuttgart’s Dornhalden Cemetery after their suicide in 1977, Huby wept.
Huby’s first screenplay was “Grenzgänger” with Schimanski cursing in a manner appropriate to the Ruhr area
Eberhard Hungerbühler emancipated himself from the RAF, from mirror and from his name and began to write freely. His most popular invention was the Bienzle, which alone made it to 25 crime scene– brought consequences. But the man from Dettenhausen could do even more besides Swabian: His first screenplay was “Grenzgänger” (1981), the second Schimanskicrime scene, and Götz George swore in a manner appropriate to the Ruhr area with an incredible 37 percent of viewers. In the Schimanski novel, which Huby wrote after him, he hinted that the Duisburg commissioner had learned to fight in the street fights at the end of the 1960s.
Huby was probably the most diligent TV author after Herbert Reinecker and Herbert Lichtenfeld. In addition to the Stuttgarter, he also developed the Saarbrücken Kommissar Palu and the Hamburger Casstorff. He was hardly too good for anything, wrote for that metropolitan areafor Adventure Airport and A Bavarian on Rügen. There was a lot of junk from the series, but television voluntarily abandoned its claim to enlightenment in the past few decades and let social problems be problems, especially since it turned out that Oh god, pastor simply brought more quota. Huby remained true to his bienzle, which multiplied into novels, theater and radio plays; fortunately he was not suitable for grand opera. Deep down in his heart, Huby Schwabe stayed and moved to Berlin because he had to pay less tax in the subsidy ruin. He also brought Peter Heiland there, who is investigating in his novel “Der Heckenschütze”, also an attempt, as he said in an interview, to “get back at the Berliners a little for everything they did to me”. Felix Huby died last Friday at the age of 83 in the Swabian occupied zone of Berlin.
