Main
Frank Stolte
Chief inspector Frank Stolte (portrayed by Johannes Brandrup) was the partner of Ingo Fischer and, later, of Semir Gerkhan. He came from the GSG9, where he shot a terrorist without a gun command. The court said he was free, but the media scolded him. After his death, Frank had to fight hard against the differences with his subsequent partner Semir.
Since the end of the first season he stopped to appear without explanation.
In "Risk" it came to the reunion with Semir when Frank tried elucidate back in Germany the supposed death of a colleague near Mostar, while uncovering criminal activity of his former employer. It is learned that he changed to the BKA and later into the private economy. He worked in various crisis areas, most recently for a private company in the clearing of landmines in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Ingo Fischer
Chief inspector Ingo Fischer (portrayed by Rainer Strecker) was the first partner of Frank Stolte, with whom he is good friends with. This comes to the latter's grief in the second episode, as Ingo took a shotgun blast to the chest, making him the shortest serving character in the series.
Katharina Lamprecht
Katharina Lamprecht (portrayed by Almut Eggert) was chief of police and former head of the highway police. She was commanding officer to Frank, Ingo, Semir and Andre. She stopped to appear in the series after the 6th episode of the 2nd season without an explanation.
Semir Gerkhan
Senior Chief Inspector Semir Gerkhan (portrayed by Erdoğan Atalay) has been present since "The New Partner." Outside of his main role, he also held a position as Deputy Head of the Polizei AutobahnSTation.
Growing up in Cologne-Kalk, Semir was a criminal in his youth; at the age of 13, he stole cars, but at one point, tried to save the life of a family that crashed into the Rhine, to no avail; the incident traumatised him since. This also destroyed the friendship of his former clique, which excluded juvenile imprisonment. When he went to the German police, he was on odd ends with his father, who would later die of a heart attack (later revealed in "Happy Birthday" to have been caused by poisoning). Semir has repressed his grief and has been estranged from his mother ever since. He has a brother named Kemal and a cousin named Aladdin.
After years of on/off relationship, in "Forever and Ever", Semir marries the secretary of the department Andrea Schäfer and now has two daughters with her, Ayda and Lily. Starting from "Resurrection," Andrea had an affair with a lover called Robert, moving away from Semir with the children, having found his work being much too dangerous for their family, and he was no longer himself for a while. The resignation of his partner at the time, Ben Jäger, further made him unpredictable for a long time. Only when Alex Brandt joins the Cobra 11 team and copes with the current fall with him after initial problems does he regain his self-confidence. In "1983", he and Andrea divorced, but still shared the concern for their children and kept in touch with each other on friendly terms. Since "The Last Night" in the Fall 2014 season, Semir has been reunited romantically with Andrea, finalised a second time by their marriage in "East of Eden". As of "The New," Andrea and their two daughters, Lily and Ayda, have moved to Copenhagen, leaving Semir in Cologne with his mother and illegitimate daughter Dana, who also works as a policewoman. Their relationship was long-distance and seemingly working. However in three special 90 minutes episodes ("Unversöhnlich", "Machtlos", "Schutzlos"; 2022), it is revealed that the long-distance relationship failed and Andrea and Semir are once again divorced and the pair split for good. At first Semir enjoys his single life, but soon finds a new love interest, doctor Bianca Kessler (portrayed by Yasmina Djaballah).
In "72 Hours of Anxiety" Semir learns that he has another daughter, Dana Wegner, from an affair over 11 years ago. Semir has once again more contact with his illegitimate daughter during "At One's Own Risk", through which she was abducted in Brussels and was to be sold as a sex slave, whereupon Semir went to Brussels to save her. With the death of her parents in the latter episode, Semir is all Dana has left; despite their somewhat rocky relationship in later episodes, Semir deeply cares for her and her future, especially after she aspires to become a police officer like her father. In the special three 90 minutes episodes (2022), Dana was in happy relationship with Max, delivering their first baby, making Semir a grandfather.
