Der Kommissar (English The Police Inspector) is a German television series first broadcast between 1969 and 1976. It is about a group of detectives of the Munich homicide squad (Mordkommission). All 97 episodes (55 minutes each) were shot in black-and-white, and were written by Herbert Reinecker and starred Erik Ode as Kommissar Herbert Keller. Keller's assistants were Walter Grabert (Günther Schramm), Robert Heines (Reinhard Glemnitz), and Harry Klein (Fritz Wepper) who, in 1974, was replaced by his younger brother (also in real life) Erwin Klein (Elmar Wepper).
According to cultural historians, the series is notable for its impact on post-war German television audiences, depicting an image of disciplined, knowledgeable, and nonviolent German heroes.
