The serial killer from Altona, Hamburg, 1974. Fritz Honka – a broken, human wreck – lies in wait for so-called marginalized women in his regular dive bar, "Zum Goldenen Handschuh" (The Golden Glove), to abduct them to his tiny, utterly dilapidated attic apartment in Ottensen. Not all of the women survive. In parallel, a story unfolds around the wealthy but emotionally impoverished Dohren shipping family, who reside on the Elbchaussee. Two worlds that could hardly be more different – and yet they meet in the Golden Glove... Images of a lost Hamburg. Ully Arndt has adapted Heinz Strunk's acclaimed bestselling novel into a dark comic noir, drawing on her knowledge of the milieus and the historical context. Expanded with personal perspectives, he brings 1970s Hamburg to life in striking imagery and atmospheric density: Between dive bars, social housing, and shipowners' villas, a city portrait emerges, full of contradictions – raw, disturbing, and profoundly human. A multifaceted start to a two-part series. The sequel will be published in spring 2027. Biography (Heinz Strunk (born 1962)) Heinz Strunk, musician and actor, was born in Hamburg in 1962.
