Axel Milberg Honoured as Honorary Member of Kiel Police

Actor Axel Milberg, best known for his role as Kiel's "Tatort" inspector Klaus Borowski, has been appointed an honorary member of the police in Kiel, Germany. This prestigious recognition was bestowed upon him by the Minister of the Interior Sabine Sütterlin-Waack (CDU).

Minister President Daniel Günther (CDU) of the state where the series is set, Schleswig-Holstein, also awarded Milberg the Order of Merit of the State. The honours come in recognition of Milberg's significant contribution to the popular crime series.

During the series, Milberg felt a strong sense of responsibility for making the Kiel fjord beautiful for the film crew. He identified strongly with the people, city, and state of Kiel, and his dedication to the role was evident.

Upon receiving the honour, Milberg expressed joy and gratitude. However, he did not elaborate on any specific sentiment about the recognition. He accepted the honorary police membership on behalf of over 2,000 people who worked on the "Tatort" crime series.

Prior to his role in the Kiel "Tatort" series, Milberg lived in Munich for over 40 years. His last appearance as Klaus Borowski was in March. Playing the role allowed him to satisfy his longing for home, as he felt a strong connection to the city and its people.

Despite retiring from his detective role, it is unclear if Milberg has taken on any new location or role. No new information about his feelings or expressions of gratitude towards the city of Kiel, his favourite dishes, or hidden favourite spots in the city was mentioned in the paragraph.
