Munich – As crime scene detective Ivo Batic, Miroslav Nemec (69) solved every case in Munich. But now he and his colleague Franz Leitmayr alias Udo Wachtveitl (65) see television retirement on the horizon. The Munich duo shoots five more Tatort episodes and then it’s over.

The resourceful investigator looks for a side job that could then become his main job again. It’s good that Nemec can do both: acting AND making music. He studied both, the first at the drama school in Zurich, the second at the Mozarteum in Salzburg.

And so on Tuesday evening the inspector took the stage in the Munich Künstlerhaus and sang and played whatever he liked: songs by Fritz Kreisler (“Liebesfreud und Liebesleid”) and Georg Kreisler “(My wife wants to leave me”), but also his Croatian folk songs Homeland from which he came to adoptive parents in Freilassing and grew up there.
It quickly became clear that Miroslav had a talent for music: “Sister Caritas discovered my musical talent in kindergarten.” At 15, Nemec founded his band “Asphyxia” (in German: suffocation), with which he still performs regularly today.

So could music be his new calling or even profession, the audience wanted to know? Nemec didn’t want to commit to that, but there will probably be more time after the crime scene job. He knows: “Music is my elixir of life!” Although his other passion, acting, also appeals to Nemec: “I would like to play King Lear again.”
The crime scene doesn’t quite let go of him yet: on stage he sings a crime scene song to the tune of “on the Reeperbahn at half past twelve in the night”. But at Nemec they say: “Yes, on Sunday at a quarter past eight, someone tends to get killed…”
