''Aktenzeichen XY … ungelöst'' (German for "Case number XY … Unsolved") is an interactive German television programme first broadcast on 20 October 1967 on ZDF. Created by Eduard Zimmermann, it aims to combat and solve crimes. The programme is currently presented by Rudi Cerne. It airs monthly, with 12 episodes in a year, on Wednesday at 8:15 PM. Until 2003 it was produced in co-operation with the Austrian public service broadcaster ORF and Schweizer Fernsehen, a division of the Swiss public broadcaster SRG SSR. The programme was adapted by the BBC as ''Crimewatch'' and for the US market as ''America's Most Wanted''. Other adaptions aired in Canada, Poland, Hungary and New Zealand. The goal of the programme is to throw light on unsolved offences with the aid of viewers. Each episode contains three to five short films, each lasting about ten minutes, in which a real criminal case is reconstructed. The cases are mostly complex ones in which the criminals and chains of events are still unknown. In addition cases are discussed in the studio in which, for example, the identities of criminals or unknown murder victims are sought with the aid of a photo. Viewers can use the telephone or Internet to give information. According to a study by the programme's editorial department, about forty percent of cases shown on the programme are solved. == History == The creator and first presenter of the programme was Eduard Zimmermann. After the programme's 300th episode he passed the presentership onto Butz Peters, who fronted the show together with Zimmermann's daughter Sabine. Since 18 January 2002 ''Aktenzeichen XY'' has been presented by Rudi Cerne. With ''Aktenzeichen XY'' Eduard Zimmermann and ZDF succeeded in starting a TV format that had not existed worldwide until 1967. Although news reports had often shown photofits, an actual independent show of this type was unknown at this time. The idea came to Zimmermann during his work with the programme ' (Eng: ''Beware, Trap!'') first broadcast in 1963, in which he warned the viewers of ''Nepper, Schlepper, Bauernfänger'' (Eng: ''Scammers, Hustlers, and Conmen''). The viewers frequently sent him information regarding descriptions of the fraudsters on the programme. This gave him the idea to use the medium of TV to work with the police on unsolved crimes. In a biographical statement Zimmerman also admitted that his motivation for both programmes was partly a personal one; he himself is a victim of fraud. ''Aktenzeichen XY'' was initially produced in the ZDF studios in Wiesbaden, before moving to the FSM studios in Unterföhring from 1969. On November 8, 2002, the broadcast of the 350th episode was celebrated, after ''Aktenzeichen XY'' had been on the air for 35 years. Eduard Zimmermann was the guest of Rudi Cerne on his own programme, which concerned a several-decades-old crime that had particularly touched him - the abduction of a young girl named Ursula Hermann, who was buried alive in a crate for extortion on September 15, 1981 (a case similar to the case of Barbara Jane Mackle, although the ''Mail Online'' states that the inspiration actually came from ''Dirty Harry''), but suffocated in her prison because the ventilation duct was clogged up by leaves.〔(Mail Online: Clint Eastwood Film Dirty Harry Inspired Couple Kidnap Little Girl, 10, for Ransom, Court Told; retrieved September 27, 2011 )〕 At the time 3,228 cases had been featured on the show, of which 1,182 had been solved. 1,880 people had been sought and 914 of them had been caught. This included 624 murder cases. In April, 2012 the program received international public attention of a somewhat amusing nature when one of its case re-enactment performers, German actor , was erroneously arrested in Stuttgart following his portrayal of a jewel robber in the episode of March 14, 2012 and a call to the police by one of the program's viewers. This misunderstanding was, however, cleared very swiftly.〔Jens Witte: ''(So gut wie echt )'', Spiegel Online, April 23, 2012.

In 2014, ''Aktenzeichen XY'' is still watched by around six million viewers with an audience share by 20%. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aktenzeichen XY … ungelöst」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
