Im Namen des Gesetzes

Im Namen des Gesetzes is the German adaption of the long-running crime drama Law & Order and premiered in September 1994.

Filmed entirely on location in Berlin, this realistic program looks at crime and justice from a dual perspective. In the first half-hour, Detectives Alexander Bonhoff (Wolfgang Krewe) and his partner Detective Stefan Kehler (Wolfgang Bahtke), investigate crimes and apprehend suspects. In the second half-hour, the focus shifts to the criminal courts, as Executive Assistant District Attorney Lisa Sturm (Mariella Ahrens), and District Attorney Tobias Kampen (Axel Pape) work within a complicated justice system to prosecute the accused.
