As at the 2004 Crime Thriller Festival with crime scene inspector "Palu", Stadtwerke Gießen AG (SWG) is once again presenting a legendary crime scene character as part of the 2005 Giessen Crime Thriller Festival. On Saturday, 22 October 2005, the Stuttgart detective "Bienzle" will be a guest on the SWG stage at Kreuzplatz. Along with the likeable "Bienzle" actor, Dietz-Werner Steck, the creator of the "Bienzle" character, author and screenwriter Felix Huby, was also expected. Unfortunately, Felix Huby is unable to attend and so Dietz-Werner Steck will be doing the reading alone. The reading will be from an "Inspector Heiland" crime novel written by Felix Huby, who is rumoured to have conceived the title character as the new Tatort detective - possibly as the successor to "Bienzle". SWG stage on KreuzplatzThe reading begins at around 12.30 pm on the SWG stage on Kreuzplatz. The TV commissioner will be signing autographs and giving interviews there. Throughout the event - from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. - Stadtwerke will be offering an exciting programme: In addition to the children's programme and live music with copyright, Stadtwerke will draw the winners of the prize puzzle. The main prize is an extra role in the next "Bienzle" crime scene. Exciting autumn in GiessenWith the Stadtwerke event, the second crime festival in Giessen is slowly but surely drawing to a close. Sunday is the last day of the festival, which began on 14 October. Passers-by were confronted with a wide variety of scenarios and genres at various locations in the city: in a hotel, a department store, a parked railway carriage - and at many other "crime scenes". This autumn, crime novels were once again the focus of the Giessen crime festival. Prominent TV detectives, popular crime writers with their latest works and a wealth of information on the fringes of crime, entertainingly presented by the Giessen experts, were presented to festival visitors.
