Tatort

The body of trainee Melanie Elvering is found in a burned-out hair salon. Rosi, the boss (Birge Schade), and her second employee, Vera Rüttger (Jasna Fritzi Bauer), are shaken. Everything points to an arson attack. Chief Inspector Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Chief Inspector Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch) quickly find out that there has recently been a heated argument between Melanie and an African drug dealer. This is arrested. After first Vera and then Rosi clearly recognized the drug dealer John Aliou (Warsama Guled), doubts creep in among the inspectors. Because John Aliou has a watertight alibi. When questioning Vera's roommates Juliane Kronfels (Anna Brüggemann) and Margaux Brettner (Odine Johne),that they move in nationalist circles and absolutely want to get rid of the African drug dealers. After Janneke and Brix increasingly suspect Vera of having something to do with the fire, Juliane and Margaux decide that Vera should go into hiding. But Vera doesn't want to be dictated to - the situation escalates completely...
"Land in this time" is the fifth crime scene with the Frankfurt investigative team Margarita Broich as Anna Janneke and Wolfram Koch as Paul Brix. Directed by Markus Imboden, the script was written by Khyana el Bitar, Dörte Franke and Stephan Brüggenthies. In addition to Margarita Broich and Wolfram Koch, other roles were played by Bruno Cathomas, Jasna Fritzi Bauer, Isaak Dentler, Zazie de Paris, Anna Brüggemann, Warsama Guled, Birge Schade, Odine Johne, Sascha Nathan, Maryam Zaree and Enno Hesse in front of Martin Langer's camera. 

Nerves are on edge in the "Veedel": Shop owner Adil Faras and young mother Nina Schmitz also think something has to be done. They have joined the self-proclaimed vigilante group "Wacht am Rhein" and patrol to make the streets safer. But then the son of the owner, Peter Deisböck, is shot dead during a raid on a pet shop. Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk investigate. Urgent suspect: native North African Khalid Hamidi. Vigilante leader Dieter Gottschalk immediately calls a vigil for the murder victim. In the heated mood, it is almost forgotten that a student has been reported missing: Baz Barek was on his way home on the night of the murder. The description of the perpetrator could also fit him.

Lieutenant Colonel Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and his colleague Major Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) want to prevent an announced double murder in an unusual case: a young man from a good family has kidnapped his parents and announces via internet video, first them and then himself kill. What sounds like an act of insanity is presented by David Frank (Aaron Karl) as completely "normal", because the medical student wants to point out social grievances with his spectacular action. According to his ingenious plan, the police should only find out what he is about in the course of the investigation and in front of the eyes of the Internet public. The fact that the kidnapper is always one step ahead of him is hard on Eisner.
In addition, the constitutional protection officer Gerold Schubert (Dominik Warta), who accompanies the case, gets on his nerves. And the investigator has to find out that his daughter Claudia's (Tanja Raunig) friend (Mehmet Sözer) is involved in the matter. The fact that parts of the student body sympathize with their fellow student David is obviously also very irritating for the investigators. The critical professor Sarah Adler (Mercedes Escherer), an expert on rampages, seems to know more about his motives. However, the former activist is not very cooperative.

A macabre student prank ends fatally. After Karim, Pascal and Enno stuck a curly tail between the buttocks of their dead teacher Dirk Rebmann in the funeral home to show him their contempt posthumously, the totally drunk Enno falls asleep on a gurney. His buddies leave him behind, and the boy is dead the next morning. He froze to death in the cooling chamber. That calls chief inspector Jens Stellbrink (Devid Striesow) and his team into action. But what initially looked like a schoolboy prank with a fatal outcome is a bit more complicated at second glance. And when Stellbrink also discovered symptoms of poisoning on the corpse of the dead professional cyclist, even two deaths had to be clarified.
Stellbrink and his colleagues Lisa Marx (Elisabeth Brück) and Mia Emmrich (Sandra Maren Schneider) first investigate the dead boy's circle of friends and come across some problematic father-son constellations and a star chef who has a lot to hide.

Ludwig Maria Pohl, known as Lupo, is just one colleague in the Weimar police department who is ignored by most of his colleagues. That changes abruptly when a bomb attack is carried out on him and shortly afterwards he is diagnosed with fatal ricin poisoning. He only has two days to live - Kira Dorn and Lessing have to find his killer. The inspectors determine that Lupo is the previously unknown son of the recently deceased owner of a traditional Thuringian porcelain factory. Lupo is entitled to a third of the considerable inheritance. His newly won sisters Amelie and Desiree Scholder are anything but enthusiastic about it. Both had a motive for murder.
Amelie's friend Ringo, who was imprisoned by Lupo five years ago and who has only recently been released, is also targeted. And what role does Ringo's mother Olga Kruschwitz play, who enforced Lupo's inheritance claim with a paternity test? Lupo has lovingly taken care of the old lady for the last few years. When the doomed man, in desperation, takes the head of the commissioner Kurt Stich hostage and thus wants to force the commissioners to hand over his murderer to him, the investigations experience a new dynamic.

No Tanzmariechen could get past her. And Elke Schetter has also clashed with club president Günter Kowatsch: now the strict dance trainer of the carnival club "De Jecke Aape" has been murdered. And that just a few days before the start of the new carnival session. A disaster! During their investigations, inspectors Freddy Schenk and Max Ballauf quickly find out that things have been anything but cheerful at "De Jecke Aape" recently. There is fierce competition between the two dancers Saskia Unger and Annika Lobinger for the position of first dance mariechen. And just two months ago, young Evelyn, a very talented member of the dance group, took her own life. She had been bullied by the other girls.
Nevertheless, the carnival club still plays a very important role in the life of Evelyn's family, especially for her father Rainer Pösel. Against the will of his wife Martina, he seeks a confrontation with club president Günter Kowatsch. The eleventh eleventh is just around the corner – Evelyn would have turned 17 that day.

Sophie Fettèr, founder and heart of the Ludwigshafen Theater Babbeldasch, dies of an allergic shock during a performance. LKA investigator Johanna Stern takes over the investigation and has to clarify the question of whether Sophie may have been killed on purpose, while her colleague, Chief Inspector Odenthal, is supposed to be doing overtime. But Lena was in the theater for the crucial performance and uses the connection to go incognito behind the scenes - where she witnesses grief and dismay, old enmities and new hopes circulate among the theater people.
Sophie had always held everything together with charm and assertiveness. And even now she is involved, because she appears in Lena's dream and demands that she find her killer before everything falls apart. Things are bubbling up in the theater, Kopper is on vacation in Italy, Johanna is successfully collecting clues – and Lena is getting more and more into an in-between realm of investigation, stage and dream events.

Inspector Reto Flückiger (Stefan Gubser) sees from the hotel balcony how a man falls to his death from a higher floor. What means a new case for him professionally has far-reaching consequences privately: the police interrogation uncovers his affair with a married woman (Brigitte Beyeler). As far as the case is concerned, he and his colleague Liz Ritschard (Delia Mayer) are initially groping in the dark. One thing is clear: the death of the investigative journalist is connected to his research and reports on the atrocities of the Chechen wars. A suspected war criminal comes into focus: Ramzan Khaskhanov (Jevgenij Sitochin), who has started a new life under a false name in Switzerland with Ena Abaev (Natalia Bobyleva).
Not only are the Lucerne investigators and the Russian authorities on his heels, but also a Chechen hitman (Vladimir Korneev) and Khaskhanov's niece Nura (Yelena Tronina) from Grozny. The young woman has made the long journey with a pistol in her luggage to avenge her mother. She blames her uncle for the widow's suicide bombing after her husband's death. However, Nura's revenge plan draws her twin brother Nurali Balsiger (Joel Basman), who was adopted by Swiss people as a toddler, into the dangerous cause. Because even the hunted Khaskhanov shrinks from nothing.
Hundreds of thousands of civilian victims in Chechnya, desperate acts of revenge by "black widows" and waves of terror with bloody attacks in Russia - with such images the wars in the Caucasus have burned themselves into memory. The Swiss "Tatort: Kriegssplitter" is about the terrible legacy: the Lucerne investigative duo Stefan Gubser and Delia Mayer aka Flückiger and Ritschard get caught up in a revenge campaign in which good can hardly be distinguished from evil. The television crime thriller by director Tobias Ineichen with elements of a political thriller shows how the seeds of violence sprout again in the generation of children and war orphans.

A young man is run over by a car at night. The Bremen commissioners Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) and Stedefreund (Oliver Mommsen) soon know that it wasn't an accident, but there doesn't seem to be a motive for the crime. When a short time later another young man is run over, the inspectors suspect that they are dealing with a serial offender . Traces at the crime scene lead to former drug addict Kristian Friedland (Moritz Führmann). But he has an alibi for the time of the murder. To the astonishment of the inspectors, his parents (Angela Roy and Rainer Bock) do everything they can to keep the investigation away from him. What is the family hiding?

Jürgen Sternow, head of the special cyber crime department of the Kiel State Criminal Police Office, was the victim of an assassination attempt. It is reasonable to assume that the perpetrator is to be found in the rapidly growing area of cybercrime. Inspectors Borowski and Brandt are entrusted with the investigation by the responsible public prosecutor. While Borowski first has to acquire special technical knowledge , Sarah Brandt is in her element as a former hacker. But how do you hunt down an unrelated perpetrator who knows all the tricks of the trade to hide on the dark web? When Brandt manages to discover a gap in the assassin's seemingly perfect digital camouflage, they track down the killer.

It was supposed to look like a suicide: in the middle of the night, Werner Holtkamp was thrown off a bridge and hit by a truck. But by then the divorced man in his mid-forties was already dead. He had been beaten to death in his own bed at home. The traces secured are clear. His wife left him years ago for another man and took their daughter with her. Since then he has lived alone and withdrawn in the suburban settlement near Cologne. With hisHowever, he got into a bitter argument with neighbor Leo Voigt. A court had ruled that the boundary between their two properties had not been properly drawn. Holtkamp used his newly won area to plant cypresses - and in doing so only further alienated Leo Voigt. Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk soon discover other connections in the neighborhood that the residents want to keep secret with all their might.

Did IT expert Sebastian Sandberg really throw himself off his balcony? Commissioners Frank Thiel and Nadeshda Krusenstern take up the investigation. Prof. Boerne and Silke "Alberich" Haller did not immediately find evidence of a murder in forensic medicine. But there is evidence of a burglary in the dead man's apartment. Now Frank Thiel finally wants to go to the gym when colleague Krusenstern reports with an urgent assignment. Just at this moment, a strange young woman is standing in front of the inspector's apartment door: Leila Wagnerclaims to be Thiel's daughter. But that will have to wait. Just like the preparations for the oral hunting test: Prof. Boerne wants to pursue the game in the forests of the Münsterland in the future. But first his expertise as a forensic doctor is in demand.
Because the IT expert is not the only murder victim. A journalist is found lifeless in a farm on the outskirts of the city. He was known nationwide for his persistent research - and for his latest story he was taking a close look at a local feed company.

Neyla Mafany (Dayan Kodua) from Cameroon dies in an arson attack on a communal shelter for refugees in Bamberg. She was in the pantry when the incendiary device flew into the communal kitchen from the street. The escape route was blocked by a door that could only be locked from the kitchen. For the investigators of the Franken murder commission, the question arises as to whether someone in the kitchen took advantage of the situation and locked the door. Is there a perpetrator inside and one outside? None of the local residents saw anything. None of the refugees make a statement. Nobody wants to get in trouble. When Paula Ringelhahn (Dagmar Manzel), Wanda Goldwasser (Eli Wasserscheid) and Sebastian Fleischer (Andreas Leopold Schadt) take the case to the police, Felix Voss (FabianHinrichs) still on the return flight from the Caucasus.
He visited his grandmother there. The fact that nobody in the refugee accommodation knows him yet gives Voss the idea of investigating undercover as an alleged Chechen refugee. None of the residents are from Chechnya. And Felix, with his knowledge of the country and language, brings along a little legend for an undercover investigation. While Paula, Wanda and Fleischer carry out official interrogations, Voss as Erso Maskhadow tries to build trust in the shelter and thus get information from inside. He carefully approaches Said Gashi (Yasin El Harrouk), who is in charge among the refugees. He soon has more in common with the traumatized young Syrian Basem (Mohammed Issa).

Police murder in Dortmund: Two officers are shot dead in their patrol car in the middle of the night. Only a short time later, the homicide team is on site. There is no trace of the perpetrators. But the light is still on in a small private bank not far away. Inspector Peter Faber tries to get in touch with the man who is working feverishly on the bank's computers. But Muhamad Hövermann ignores Faber's request to open the door. The inspector suddenly smashes the window pane. When he stands opposite Hövermann, Faber realizes that the bank clerk is wearing an explosive belt. Hövermann threatens to set him on fire and refuses to be deterred from his work on the bank computers. A race against time begins.
Martina Bönisch immediately requests a SEK and bank director Minssen reports that Hövermann converted to Islam a few years ago for the sake of his wife. While Faber stays in the bank with Hövermann, Nora Dalay and Daniel Kossik get in touch with his family. The heavily pregnant wife Hanifah, stepdaughter Ada and Bernie, his adult son from his first marriage, are supposed to persuade him to give up. There are new clues: One of the fugitive police killers could be in the Al-Umma Mosque. And Hövermann's explosive device can also be triggered by remote detonator - if he doesn't complete his mission in time...

Major Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and his colleague Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) find a frightening picture during a night-time operation: the head of the Vienna police academy is shot dead in the living room of his house, his wife is dead one floor up, with a broken neck. What first looks like a relationship drama with manslaughter and suicide soon raises questions: someone else must have been at the scene of the crime. You now have to find this person and a service weapon from which the deadly bullet was fired. A trail leads to the police school, where instructor Thomas Nowak (Simon Hatzl) leads an iron regiment and has a special relationship with a police candidate (Julia Richter). Bibi, who is smuggled into the school as acting headmistress, targets these two. Meanwhile, Eisner, this time supported by the bumbling detective assistant Fredo Schimpf (Thomas Stipsits), is following leads into the red light district. A pair of gangsters tried to blackmail the dead man with scandalous photos from the police academy. From Inkasso-Heinzi (Simon Schwarz),Bibi's old contact from her time at Sitte, comes the insider tip to take on the "stupid Bonny" (Simone Fuith) and the "sweet Clyde" (Sebastian Wendelin). The two have something in their hands that deeply shocks the investigators. The deeper Eisner and Fellner delve into the case, the more human abysses open up – among high-ranking police officers.
In his 40th "Tatort" operation, Harald Krassnitzer, alias Major Moritz Eisner, has to investigate alone for once, because the tandem with Adele Neuhauser as Bibi Fellner is dissolved for tactical reasons - of course only for this one sensitive case, which involves bullying and abuse of power at the Vienna police academy. In "Wehrlos", director Christopher Schier combines an unusual crime story with the usual humor of the series. This time, Alexander Strobele joins the well-established police ensemble with Martin Zauner, Hubert Kramar and Simon Schwarz in the guest role of the exemplary police officer Pohl, who serves justice in his last case.

A year has passed since Batic and Leitmayr officially dropped the search for the killer of Ben Schröder, who was stabbed to death in front of his wife Ayumi and son Taro. But then, out of nowhere, a similar crime happens again in Munich. An act without a recognizable motive, again without a relationship between perpetrator and victim, with the same cruel handwriting. The nightmare for Batic and Leitmayr seems to be continuing, but there is a glimmer of hope: the victim miraculously survives and there are numerous clues to the perpetrator. A suspect is caught, but an incident occurs during a prisoner transportat the end of which there are more deaths. A few days later, Franz Leitmayr was walking down the aisle of a hospital on a crutch.
Thoughtfully, he looks through a window at his friend and colleague Ivo Batic, who is in a coma connected to tubes. In addition, Leitmayr has to justify the mysterious events to an internal investigative committee chaired by Chief Detective Horn. what really happened Who shot who and why? Leitmayr desperately tries to explain an unexpected horror scenario with Kalli's help and to find the answer to the question of whether this case might be the end of his and Batic's journey together.

Verena Schneider (Jasmin Georgi) is found dead by a neighbor. The trail quickly leads to her partner Thomas Jacobi (Martin Feifel). Apparently, the two had a fight shortly before the crime. But Jacobi has an alibi. He was with his family doctor (Juliane Köhler) at the time of the crime. When she is also dead shortly thereafter and it turns out that she was not only his doctor but also his partner, the suspicion against him is confirmed. And yet another woman appears, desperately vying for Jacobi's attention. The inspectors (Miroslav Nemec and Udo Wachtveitl) unfold a complicated web of love affairs around Jacobi with a whole series of women who apparently didn't know anything about each other for a long time.

A bizarre black mass, melted together with a plastic deck chair in a pergola garden - nothing more is left of Enno Schopper. In their fifth case, the Berlin "Tatort" commissioners Nina Rubin (Meret Becker) and Robert Karow (Mark Waschke) have to find out what is behind the cruel death of the teacher. The first investigations lead Rubin and Karow to the comprehensive school in Neukölln's Rollbergkiez, where Enno Schopper taught before he was apparently beaten to death, doused in petrol and burned to death. But why? "Ask the kids in the neighborhood what is best done with gays," says Enno's husband Armin (Jens Harzer) to the investigators. Enno lived his gay marriage demonstratively openly - almost provocatively, at least here.
A witness claims to have seen how Enno addressed the student DuranSexually approached Bolic (Justus Johanssen) in the locker room. The teacher has been taking care of the boy from difficult backgrounds for years. He and Armin gave him a home and encouraged him. But Enno and Duran vehemently deny the rumor. Enno is on leave until clarification - now Enno Schopper is dead. Rubin and Karow want to question Duran. But he has disappeared, supposedly with his father to Croatia. Is that correct? Duran's friend Jasna (Lisa Vicari) swears, "Never! Duran hated his father." And Duran would never have harmed Enno, he adored him. Armin also asserts this, whose ironically charming manner arouses interest and distrust in Karow in equal measure.
Rubin and Karow struggle to stay out of the morass of rumor and prejudice.

17-year-old Simson is a successful prankster. He plays pranks on others, films himself doing it and broadcasts it live on the Internet. These pranks are Samson's "profession" that brings him some fame and decent money. When he messes with a rocker group, Samson is shot by an unknown man. Although many people were able to follow the crime on site and live on the Internet, there is no reliable description of the perpetrator. The two Dresden detectives Henni Sieland and Karin Gorniak dive deep into the world of Internet stars and have to realize that they don't know much about the adored teenage idols and the business structures behind the fascinating Internet stars.
In addition to greedy managers and unscrupulous competitors, the investigators meet a doctor whose black market in prescription drugs was uncovered by Simson. Sieland and Gorniak receive valuable information from young Emilia, who not only admired Samson, but also knew and supported him personally. Henni Sieland worries about the intelligent young woman who can hardly seem to cope with the death of her idol. Were Emilia and Simson really best friends or is their most important witness lying? 

Kiel, just before the opening of the Kiel Week. Everything is preparing for the event of the year. Now, of all times, inspectors Borowski and Brandt are dealing with a particularly puzzling murder case. A young woman who has been insidiously murdered is found in an empty apartment. There is no trace of the perpetrator, who had set himself up at the scene of the crime as if in hiding. When another corpse turns up a little later, it becomes clear that the apparently unscrupulous perpetrator will stop at nothing to return to the anonymity of theto be able to submerge the city. Borowski and Brandt are alarmed: Are they dealing with a serial killer or is the perpetrator covering up an even more perfidious plan? The largest folk festival in the north is now in full swing and this arouses an increasingly outrageous suspicion.
Under the pressure of events, the tensions in the investigative team are increasing. While Sarah Brandt wants to put the perpetrator on the hunt and thinks about warning the public, Borowski urges prudence.

In tranquil Pöllau, Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) have to solve the violent death of a man from Africa. There are no papers or clues as to the identity of the victim, who was found dead in the local quarry. His body was apparently to be disposed of there. The Viennese commissioners take on the operator Thomas Reuss (Martin Niedermair). The day before, he absolutely wanted to carry out a demolition – allegedly to meet official requirements. A trail also leads to his brother Albert (Andreas Kiendl), who worked as a doctor for aid organizations in West Africa and now runs an escape center at home. The investigators encountered a wall of silence among the residents.
While Eisner and Fellner grope in the dark, the autopsy brings a shocking result: the dead man is infected with Ebola! A disease commando immediately moves in, declares a state of emergency and quarantines the entire village. In the midst of the Ebola hysteria, Major Eisner and his colleague Bibi have to keep a cool head. The more they learn about the dead man and the background that led him to Austria, the more threatening the case becomes. Anyone could have contracted the deadly virus, including investigators. The fact that they continue their work puts both of them in great danger. To this day, it is impossible to prevent Ebola epidemics from breaking out in Africa.
The Austrian "Tatort: Virus" shows how justified the worldwide fear of the deadly fever is: A single infected person can be enough to bring the disease to Europe. In Styria, Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner investigate under correspondingly difficult conditions: Because a murder victim carries the pathogen, hysteria breaks out. Plague squad, quarantine and suspected cases - there is a state of emergency in the province. The television thriller cleverly leads the exciting case to a moral as well as political topic: It is also in our interest to fight the epidemics in poor countries with all our might. 

After work on an autumn day in Stuttgart. The city is stuck in traffic. Everyone wants to go home, nobody is making progress. A young girl lies dead on the side of the road in a residential area. Fracture of the base of the skull, this could be a hit-and-run accident, but it could also be an intentional homicide. The only witness is only three years old and therefore unreliable, as Sebastian Bootz finds out during the rather laborious questioning. The only road from the crime scene leads straight into the traffic jam. So Thorsten Lannert makes his way to the line of wagons, where nothing is moving at all, secures tracks, collects statements and encounters the whole spectrum of increasingly irritated returnees. One of them has to be the culprit and the inspectors want to catch him before the traffic jam clears.
After successful cinema films such as "Kreuzweg", "Heil" and "3 Zimmer Küche Bad", Dietrich Brüggemann is making his Tatort debut on SWR with the Stuttgart investigative team Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz, played by Richy Müller and Felix Klare. For the film, which he wrote together with Daniel Bickermann, he was inspired by a situation that was just as everyday as it was unnerving: the traffic jam on the city's access roads, which was further fueled by construction work. On the Weinsteige in Stuttgart, Lannert and Bootz meet a colorful cross-section of the urban population in the crowd of suspects standing in a traffic jam, played by Julia Heinemann, Roland Bonjour, Rüdiger Vogler, Amelie Kiefer, Deniz Ekinci, Eckhard Greiner, Susanne Wuest, Bernd Gnann and Jacob Matschenz.
The traffic jam scenes were filmed in a trade fair hall in Freiburg, where a 100-metre wall built on the mountain side and an 80-metre blue screen on the valley side provided a traffic- and weather-independent setting for 13 days of shooting.

Long-distance bus driver Beni Gisler (Michael Neuenschwander) sees the man on the bridge, but he can no longer do anything. The body slams against the windshield and is thrown away. In his previous life, Gisler was a train driver and was involved in suicides several times. The recent incident therefore awakens traumatic memories. Commissioner Flückiger (Stefan Gubser) knows Gisler from his military days. Supported by the responsible psychologist of the care team (Stephanie Japp), he takes care of Gisler. It soon turns out that the dead man had a high dose of benzodiazepine in his blood. Under the circumstances, there was no way he could have thrown himself off the bridge. The identity of the possible victim also raises questions. Commissioner Flückiger andColleague Liz Ritschard (Delia Mayer) begins to investigate.
Clarifying the victim's true identity proves to be the first challenge. A trail leads her into the construction industry. The former patron (Markus Graf) of a now successful construction company has similarities with the victim. However, he is said to have died 13 years ago. What are his widow (Saskia Vester) and son (Roland Bonjour) hiding? At the same time as the investigations are being carried out, Flückiger is struggling with his personal connection to the case. The fate of his comrade Gisler will not let him go. Gisler struggles with severe stress disorders and aggressive outbursts. Despite the psychologist's therapeutic help, he swears to personally hold the perpetrator accountable. 

Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg are called to a small settlement in the Black Forest, a popular place to live for young families whose children are supposed to grow up in a peaceful social environment. This idyll is shattered when an eleven-year-old dies from a gunshot wound and the boy next door disappears. While securing the evidence and tense search for the missing boy, the police find a mysterious weapons depot near the crime scene. Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg follow the trail of the weapons and look for witnesses, especially since the child of the third neighboring family, who returned home peacefully, apparently did not notice anything out of the ordinary. They are not destined to have quick success, and while the investigations continue, they are driven by grief, worry and mistrustparents who are actually good friends are getting further and further apart.
? There are dark fir trees, snow-covered slopes and deep ravines in the first "Tatort Schwarzwald" with Eva Löbau and Hans-Jochen Wagner. The small town in which they work as chief inspectors Tobler and Berg, supported by Steffi Kühnert as their superior Cornelia Harms, is less characterized by traditional structures, mainly city dwellers live here, newcomers, among whom the drama of three even carefree parent couples unfolded. With "Tatort: Goldbach", Robert Thalheim staged an intense crime drama written by Bernd Lange, in which the actors are the focus and the impressive images serve to create tension between the characters.

Marie Wagner is found strangled in a studio above a department store in downtown Munich. Her body lies in a paddling pool, in a broth of indefinable secretions. Under the stage name Luna Pink, Marie shot porn part-time, including the evening before her death. The confiscated footage from porn producer Olli Hauer quickly became the focus of the investigation: a comparison of the registration forms with the number of amateur actors in the film revealed that there was one more actor on the set. Kalli and Semmler set about the tedious process of identifying the actors who were masked during filming to find out who the one who wasn't registered is. Meanwhile, Batic and Leitmayr question Stella Harms, a friend of Marie's, to learn more about the victim.
They find out that Marie worked in a nursing home. Through Stella, the investigators also learn about a conflict Marie had with Sam Johnson, another Munich porn producer. His father was very successful in this profession in the golden days of Munich porn film production, the 1970s. Today Sam Johnson is broke, like Olli Hauer, with whom he is in a permanent clinch professionally. Johnson had lost a lot of money to Luna, who stopped shooting mid-production. Things come to a head when it turns out that chief prosecutor Kysela is Marie's father.

The German Autumn and the night of death in Stammheim were 40 years ago. The aftermath of this traumatic time affects the current case of detectives Lannert and Bootz. Marianne Heider is said to have died in a bathtub accident. However, her ex-husband Christoph believes that she was murdered by her current partner Georg Jordan. Christoph Heider is caught kidnapping the body from the cemetery chapel in order to have it autopsied abroad. For Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz, this shouldn't be a case at all - after all, the public prosecutor's office has already filed Marianne Heider's death as an accident - and Chief Public Prosecutor Lutz expressly instructs Emilia Álvarez not to reopen the case.
But Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz find Heider's account credible enough to investigate the matter. They find out that Georg Jordan was used as an undercover agent for the protection of the constitution against the Red Army Faction in the 1970s. Is that the reason why the inspectors constantly encounter resistance from the police authorities and the public prosecutor's office during their investigations? And is Wilhelm Jordan actually Wilhelm Jordan? The man bears an amazing resemblance to a former RAF member who later worked with the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and, of all things, made statements about the question of how the weapons that killed Baader and Raspe got into the Stammheim high-security wing.
William Jordan,Whoever he is, has been the subject of various crimes, but has never been punished or even charged. Along with Emilia Álvarez, Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz begin to wonder if witness protection would itself include the murder of Marianne Heider. On the night of October 18, 1977, after the liberation of the Lufthansa plane "Landshut" in Mogadishu and the assassination of the employer president Hanns-Martin Schleyer, the so-called German Autumn came to a head in the "Stammheim Night of Death", in which Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe died in their prison cells and Irmgard Möller suffered life-threatening injuries.
This historical situation, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this fall, forms the background for Dominik Graf's "Tatort: The Red Shadow" in Stuttgart. The long shadows of that night and the fight against RAF terrorism reach into the present day at the scene of the crime. Just like the unresolved questions associated with it, for example: How did the weapons really get into the high-security cycle of the Stammheim prison? How far does the leeway for the protection of the Constitution extend? Why is it not possible to clarify beyond doubt what happened on the night of October 18? Dominik Graf deals with these questions in his first "crime scene" in Stuttgart. Past and present intertwine. To do this, Dominik Graf uses historical material, which he skillfully interweaves with scenes that have been filmed after the fact.(

A severed finger and a car with traces of blood: That's all the Bremen commissioners Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) and Stedefreund (Oliver Mommsen) find in a parking garage. The owner of the car is the former boss of a pharmaceutical company. According to his wife Judith Bergener (Victoria Fleer), he quit months ago - shortly afterwards his company went bankrupt. The last person who had contact with him was the success-hungry pharmaceutical representative Maria Voss (Nadeshda Brennicke). She wants to "back into the light" at all costs. Stedefreund comes closer to her than Lürsen and BKA colleague Linda Selb (Luise Wolfram) would like.

An old man, dressed only in a white nightgown, approaches Fanny and Brix's house at night. There he suffers a dizzy spell after trying in vain to set the house on fire. He tells cryptic things to Brix, who has rushed to his aid, while staring at a skylight. Brix follows the gaze and finds a child's skeleton under the wooden floorboards. He calls Anna Janneke and asks her to take care of the completely distraught Fanny. As he makes his wayto solve the mystery of the dead child, things happen in the house that can no longer be explained in a natural way. In the course of his investigation, Brix meets Merle, the old man's granddaughter, who will never leave his side again. Little by little they uncover the dark past of the house. While Merle is trying with all her might to get there, Janneke is trying desperately to stop Brix from bringing the girl into the house.

A new case leads Charlotte Lindholm into human abysses and she herself to the brink of resilience. A banker's wife was kidnapped near Walsrode. In a panic, Frank Holdt, her husband and manager of a local bank, enlists the help of his wealthy in-laws, Christian and Gudrun Rebenow, to collect the ransom. He cannot raise the requested sum by the deadline on his own. Rebenow informs the police against Holdt's wishes; then, on the instructions of the kidnappers, Holdt single-handedly delivers the money. The investigations are running feverishly. When Julia Holdt's car is found empty in the woods, the worst has to be feared. After a short time, Holdt himself becomes the target of the investigation.
Charlotte Lindholm finds out he's in deep debt, his marriage is over and Julia Holdt had a lover. As evidence of domestic violence emerges, Holdt becomes increasingly embroiled in contradicting statements. Apparently he also phoned the perpetrators the day before the kidnapping. Then Julia Holdt is found brutally murdered and Charlotte continues to corner Holdt. He feverishly protests his innocence, but his situation becomes more and more desperate. In the end there is a tragic fate that Charlotte blames herself for. Her boss, Marc Kohlund, then withdraws the case from her.

In the insurance company ALVA, which advertises with the motto "Your partner for your security", the head of department Heiko Gebhardt is shot in broad daylight from the building opposite. A sniper in Dresden? The investigators Karin Gorniak, Henni Sieland and their boss Schnabel question the employees of the insurance company and find themselves in a web of employee intrigues and tough company politics. Cordula Wernicke reveals to them that the insurance company expects its employees to pay fewer insurance benefits. At the same time, staff will be reduced. Shortly thereafter, she finds a projectile in an envelope on her desk - an undisguised threat.
In order not to lose one's own job, there is intense bullying within the workforce and colleagues are accused of frivolously granting a bonus or offensive behavior. Rainer Ellgast also suffered from this pressure and repeatedly got into arguments with the murder victim Gebhardt because of it. Is he capable of murder? The investigators find out that the alibi he gives himself is not correct. Gorniak and Sieland also encounter dissatisfied customers and destroyed lives among ALVA customers - like Harald Böhlert, who lost his compensation after an accident at work and years of litigation by ALVA. In the fight for his rights, Böhlert is supported by Martina Scheuring, who wants to expose the evil methods of the ALVA with radical means.
But many a betrayed person turns out to be a scammer for the inspectors at second glance. When another ALVA employee, Rainer Ellgast, was shot at the ALVA Christmas party, the investigators came under increasing pressure. 

The art world is looking at Münster, and the scandal is complete. Shortly before the opening of the International Sculpture Days, the supposedly new work by the performance artist "GOD" (Aleksandar Jovanovic) caused a stir: because the clown figure in front of the town hall is a corpse! Inspector Frank Thiel (Axel Prahl) and his colleague Nadeschda Krusenstern (Friederike Kempter) quickly find out that the dead man is a former Munster city councilor who was acquitted some time ago of charges of fornication with minors. atDuring the autopsy, Prof. Karl-Friedrich Boerne (Jan Josef Liefers) and his assistant Silke Haller (ChrisTine Ursprechen) discover that a USB stick was hidden in the body of the corpse. And on this the proof of guilt of the former local politician.
Has anyone here taken revenge on a wrongly acquitted criminal? But why did the perpetrator convert the corpse into a sculpture? Even before Inspector Thiel can record a first search success, there is a second dead person, this time also artfully prepared and presented... 

A man is found brutally murdered in rural Lower Saxony: Arash Naderi migrated to Germany from Iran just a few months ago. For the investigators Julia Grosz and Torsten Falke there are some indications that it could be a politically motivated murder; the dead person may have fallen victim to a right-wing act of violence. As Falke and Grosz quickly discover, Arash Naderi was indeed harassed in the period leading up to his death. Namely by farmers from the area, whose ringleaders have often come into conflict with the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. He regularly hosts meetings in his barn and is known to stir people up. Falke and Grosz soon find out what these conspiratorial meetings are about.
The farmers turn out to be militant environmentalists and plan campaigns against fracking. It is becoming increasingly clear that it was not his background that made the victim a target, but perhaps his job. Arash Naderi worked as a driver for a natural gas company.

In their sixth joint case, the Berlin "Tatort" investigators Nina Rubin (Meret Becker) and Robert Karow (Mark Waschke) are called to the outskirts. A body was found in a burned-out van. Rubin and Karow quickly determine that there were three other, older cases with a similar course of events. They were never enlightened. Is it a serial killer? Another link leads to Berlin-Wannsee: all victims were conceived with the help of in-vitro fertilization in a fertility clinic. Managing Director Dr. Irene Wohlleben (Almut Zilcher) and her laboratory manager and life partner Hanneke Tietzsche (Eleonore Weisgerber) recently handed over the management of the clinic to Irene's son Dr. Handed over to Stefan Wohlleben (Trystan Pütter). He was born in the 1980s as one of the first test tube babies in Germany.
During their investigations, the inspectors also come across a loner named Harbinger (Christoph Bach). As a 16-year-old he attacked Irene Wohlleben, today he runs a key service in a Berlin subway station. Harbinger used to be called Werner Lothar and, according to his psychiatrist, suffers from borderline syndrome. Robert Karow uses unusual methods to try to gain the eccentric man's trust and lure him out of his reserve. Anna Feil (Carolyn Genzkow), now a candidate for the detective, makes an unbelievable discovery on her own behalf in this case. And on the fringes of the investigation, Nina Rubin has a serious argument with her older son Tolya (Jonas Hämmerle). In addition to the commissioners, Berlin again takes on the third leading role.
This time the perspective changes: The film shows Berlin's underworld under Alexanderplatz and under Steglitzer Schlossstrasse and also leads to places such as an iron foundry in Wilhelmsruh, which was available for filming for the first time.

Nina Schramm, leader of the "New Patriots" parliamentary group, is increasingly becoming the target of hate mail and death threats. Inspector Falke and his colleague Julia Grozs are seconded for their personal protection. To the chagrin of his colleague, Falke and the right-wing populist make no secret of their mutual dislike. When Schramm's car is destroyed by an explosion and her husband Richard is killed in the process, right-wing networks report the attack by a "left-wing mob" and accuse the police of standing by and doing nothing. For the investigators, however, there are inconsistencies in the media campaign of the right-wing populists, especially since state security is obviously involved in the background.

A turbulent 24 hours begin for the Weimar detectives Kira Dorn and Lessing when the three-time woman murderer Gotthilf Bigamiluschvatokovtschvili, known as Gobi, breaks out of the forensic psychiatric ward five years after his conviction. He leaves behind a strangled nurse and her young colleague who is in shock. That same night, the wife of Professor Eisler, head of psychiatry, is found dead in her own bed. Gobi seems to be on a vendetta. On the hunt for the desert Gobi, the inspectors not only come across his preferences for women and homemade underwear. The investigation also leads Kira Dorn and Lessing to his jealous fiancée Mimi Kalkbrenner, a full- time harpist who may have helped Gobi escape.
As evidence gradually emerges that calls Gobi's perpetrators into question, Professor Eisler, who has had a questionable relationship with his ailing wife in recent years, becomes the focus of the investigations. Are the recent murders a "freeboard strangle"? A missing earlier investigation file and the secretive former head of the police department, Bruno Götze, who arrested Gobi five years ago, make solving the murders more difficult. The hunt for the culprit also leads Dorn and Lessing into the sewers of the city of Weimar, which is as murky as the web of entanglements that the inspectors get caught up in.
