Tatort

A dead Indian is fished out of the Ilm. It is about Wolfgang Weber, who owned the western town of El Doroda. The Weimar inspectors Kira Dorn and Lessing learn from his managing director Heinz Knapps that Weber wanted to give notice to the tenants of the western town. In desperation, did the hobbyists throw a lynch party? While Kira goes undercover in El Doroda and proves that a real cowgirl lies dormant in her,Lessing encounters the ice-cold civil engineering contractor Ellen Kircher. She lets her depraved son Nick spread fear and terror in the Western town since she screwed up a geothermal well there that Weber didn't want to pay for. But the violent death of a young bison and an attack on Heinz Knapps indicate that there is a deeper secret behind the murder of the Indian.

It is a night traffic check with far-reaching consequences. When policeman Frank Lorenz asked the young man to get out of his car, he saw only one way out: Pascal Pohl fled. He runs to the nearby train tracks. Just a few seconds later he is dead - run over by a tram. But what looks like a tragic accident at first glance turns into an opaque revenge campaign. Lorenz, who is well connected in the scene, knows that the Russian mafia was obviously after the young drug dealer. Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk take over the investigations...

The two Viennese special investigators Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) are called to a mysterious murder case in the Salzkammergut. A female body was found in Lake Wolfgang. Shot and dumped in a car. The dead woman turns out to be a missing German journalist who was most recently working on a story about illegal arms deals. Eisner's and Fellner's research lead the two of them to the deceased's desperate partner, to her informant, to her editor-in-chief and to a mysterious death of a former Austrian minister that, even after decades, has still not been fully clarified.
The General Directorate for Internal Security quickly feels called onto the scene, which apparentlyis not at all interested in working through this old, politically uncomfortable case, and puts pressure on the two inspectors and their superior Ernst Rauter (Hubert Kramar). Undeterred, Eisner and Fellner continue to investigate and quickly realize that the historical criminal case and the murder of the journalist must actually have something to do with each other. When further investigations lead to the next mysterious death, Eisner and Fellner are faced with the almost impossible task of having to solve the old, mysterious case in order to be able to solve the murder of the journalist.
In doing so, however, they encounter increasing resistance and eventually their professional and personal limits.

The former miner Andreas Sobitsch is found shot dead on the river bank, not far from Dortmund. His home was an old colliery settlement. Inspectors Peter Faber, Martina Bönisch, Nora Dalay and Jan Pawlak question friends and ex-colleagues of the murder victim. Sobitsch had campaigned for the interests of the miners to the end. But there is a dispute in the once tight -knit community: an amusement park will soon open on the site of their colliery. But finding new, adequate jobs in the region is difficult. Many feel they are the losers of structural change in the Ruhr area. New clues emerge during the investigation: Are there connections to extremist circles?

Vanessa and Anika, student nurses in their second year of training, look amazingly alike. But Anika is much more serious than Vanessa. Anika has other priorities that evening as well: helping instead of partying with the attractive residents in the nursing home. For more than a year she has been working in the initiative "Medics for Illegals (MefI)", which was launched by the charismatic doctor Annemarie Bindra. Here she also met the young Coptic Christian Kamal Atiya, who fled Egypt with his little brother Raouf. The brothers are tolerated in Germany. When Anika finds out that Kamalworks as a informer for the immigration authorities, the idealistic student nurse puts the pistol to his chest: either he will make his betrayal public or she will do it.
Less than two hours later, Anika arrives at the dorm. The party there is over. There is dead silence in the corridors. In her room, Anika comes across her lifeless friend Vanessa, strangled with a bathrobe belt... While Jens Stellbrink begins his investigations, a desperate Anika asks herself: Is Kamal Atiya not only a traitor, but also a murderer? "The Pact" is the last "crime scene" with Devid Striesow as Jens Stellbrink. 

Charlotte Lindholm has to deal with the consequences of her last failed mission. As a result, she was punitively transferred from the LKA Hanover to the Göttingen police department. Now she is trying to balance her work and family life in Hanover. She also has to get along with a new team, although she has just been attested to be lacking in teamwork. There are particular points of friction between Charlotte Lindholm and her new colleague Anaïs Schmitz, who is just as dominant in her work as she is. The case is getting to the heart of the two inspectors: In the dilapidated, filthy changing room of a school sports field, it is discovered that a woman has given birth under mysterious circumstances. Some point to a crime. Where are mother and child, are they still alive?

LKA investigator Felix Murot's phone rings at 7:30 in the morning. It is his assistant Magda Wächter who tells him that there has been a hostage situation in a bank and that he must come immediately. "Who is still robbing a bank today?" murmurs Murot, and: "Probably another desperate amateur." The guard should prepare everything, that's a classic police routine. Wash, shave, get dressed, the same procedure every morning. Murot drives to the scene of the crime, puts on a protective vest and goes into the bank to persuade the bank robber and hostage-taker to give up. Thanks to his knowledge of police psychology, he is able to convince the hostage-taker to turn himself in. But at the last moment something goes wrong. Murot is shot and wakes upback home bathed in sweat. His phone rings. It's guardian.
She calls him to an armed bank robbery with hostage situation. A routine case – it seems. Murot fears for his sanity - At the Festival of German Film in Ludwigshafen, "Tatort: Murot and the Marmot" was awarded the Film Art Prize in early September 2018. According to the jury, the film "convincingly and ingeniously praises the time loop in which the oversupply of television crime production is stuck. Imaginative and cleverly staged, dramaturgically refined, full of wit and variety and always surprising, Dietrich Brüggemann leads his great leading actor Ulrich Tukur through the turbulence of madness to a happy ending." 

The day in Bayreuth begins like any other. But then a murder occurs. A Bayreuth lawyer shoots a judge in the ongoing process. Shortly before the act, he looks at the clock and waits for the full hour. Then he flees. Exactly one hour later, a university employee dies. Again, attorney Peters is the culprit. There is initially no recognizable motive, no connection between the perpetrator and the two victims. But there is a pattern. Here, too, Peters waited the full hour. And he's still on the run. Is a third murder imminent on the hour? Who will be the victim? And where is the act planned? Felix Voss (Fabian Hinrichs), Paula Ringelhahn (Dagmar Manzel) and their team investigate in a fast-paced race against time to save the next human life.
With "Tatort: A day like any other", author Erol Yesilkaya and director Sebastian Marka are now continuing their successful collaboration ("Tatort: The Truth") for BR in Franconia. Producers are Jakob Claussen and Uli Putz. After Heaven Is A Place On Earth (2015), The Right To Care (2016), You End Up Walking Naked (2017) and I Kill No One (first airing Sunday, April 15). 2018 in the first) is "A day like any other" the fifth "crime scene" from Franconia of the Bavarian radio for the first

Supermarket cashier Peggy Stresemann looks curiously into the window of the neighboring house – the couple Victoria and Thomas Dell are just dancing for joy. Apparently they have become lottery millionaires! A world is collapsing for Peggy: Why are she and her husband Micha never so lucky?! When the neighbors are obviously taking their time redeeming their winnings , Peggy secretly gains access to their house and looks for the lottery ticket. The homeowner surprises her. When Commissioner Borowski and his colleague Mila Sahin enter the scene of the crime a little later, they see a picture like in a gangster film: Thomas Dell is covered in blood on the marriage bed...

Summer heat, shimmering light, mild nights. A man and a teenager drive through the Black Forest, close to each other, but also with an underlying tension. A couple? Or rather father and daughter? When a teenager steals a laptop bag from the car, the man gets so nervous that he follows the thief down the winding road. A short time later he has the bag back - but the thief and his moped are lying in the abyss. The police quickly realized that there were external influences and that the driver had fled. Friedemann Berg takes over the investigations, while Franziska Tobler takes care of the case of Emily Arnold, who has been missing for two years. Her mother believes she saw her daughter alive.
Friedemann is already familiar with this and expects another disappointment, but Franziska is still investigating the matter meticulously. And there is a breakthrough: When the accident car in Friedemann's case is tracked down, DNA from Emily Arnold is found in it. It seems possible that the now 15-year-old is actually still alive. But then it is unlikely that she is traveling alone. With combined forces, Franziska and Friedemann search for Emily and a stranger... Summery lightness and latent threat determine the atmosphere in equal measure, in which director Julia von Heinz and screenwriter Magnus Vattrodt explore the relationship between a teenager and a much older man.
A relationship that not only puzzles the inspectors from the Black Forest and that is kept in limbo by the young Meira Durand and Andreas Lust in all their ambivalence.

Outraged, public prosecutor Wilhelmine Klemm stormed into the homicide department: The first videos appeared on social networks only a short time after a dead person was found behind the cathedral. And now this photo on the front page of the daily newspaper - how could Frank Thiel be photographed laughing at the scene of the crime? The investigations have barely begun when the commissioner is already being criticized. Especially since Prof. Boerne can not provide any evidence of a perpetrator. A motive or other suspicious factors can not be found in the environment of the murdered. She told friends that someone had followed her in the past few days. Then Prof. Boerne reports: Another fatality was recovered in the canal. And there's an indication the deaths are linked..

The demolition expert Peter Krämer is killed when an aircraft bomb explodes. Ballauf and Schenk investigate murder and find a lead to the entrepreneur Gebel, who is planning a construction project, and to Sascha Feichdinger, who, like Krämer, wanted to buy a house in the project. It turns out that Kramer's widow Alena and his friend Haug are blackmailing the contractor because he hasn't removed the duds on his property. That's why Krämer had to die and Haug's life is also in danger...

The internist Gisela Mohnheim is found dead in the Dortmund-Nord Clinic. She suffocated under a plastic bag. After a tour de force through the restless everyday life of the emergency room, clues point to a perpetrator from the hospital. In order to confront him, the Dortmund commissioners Faber, Bönisch, Dalay and Pawlak have to put themselves in danger in an unusual way...

By chance, construction workers discover a woman's body hidden under a road. During the murder investigation, the Bremen investigators Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) and Stedefreund (Oliver Mommsen) get caught up in a finely woven web of corruption and illegal financial transactions. They find out that the dead woman worked for a real estate development company. The company is in the sights of the BKA officials Maller (Robert Hunger-Bühler) and Kempf (Philipp Hochmair), who try by all means toprevent homicide investigations. Stedefreund also seems to be keeping important information to himself. Is it woven into the current case? And what is his relationship to Maller and Kempf? Inga Lürsen soon no longer knows who she can trust and who not. The last case becomes a heavy burden for the Bremen team. In "Where has my treasure gone?" Inspectors Lürsen and Stedefreund investigate their last case. 

During a dangerous operation, the Dresden commissioner Karin Gorniak is seriously injured. The wanted murderer escapes and Karin's new colleague Leonie Winkler has to take on the case. Karin Gorniak is discharged from the hospital. She was the only one who saw the perpetrator and could identify him. After first being transferred to the evidence room, she helps her new colleague to identify suspects. Karin Gorniak agrees to a comparison. The group of suspects can be limited to two menbe narrowed down: the surgeon Dr. Christian Mertens and the nurse Bernd Haimann. However, just before the investigators can question the orderly, he disappears. Karin is now certain that Dr. Mertens is the perpetrator, but his wife gives the doctor a secure alibi.
Karin doubts her own judgment and loses the support of her boss, Schnabel. Leonie Winkler begins to fight for her colleague. Together, the investigators succeed in getting ever closer to the perpetrator.

Night patrol duty in the big city. "Disturbing the peace", a routine operation in the neighborhood - but obviously the patrol colleagues stabbed into a drug nest. A suspected dealer suddenly opens fire. The young patrol officer Sandra (Anna Herrmann) dies in a hail of bullets, a second man in uniform, Harald Stracke (Peter Trabner), who is about to retire, is shot. A third party gets away with the shock becausehe is the only one wearing a protective vest: Tolja Rubin (Jonas Hämmerle). The inspector's son is doing his internship on patrol duty. Trainee Tolja got caught up in contradictions during the first interrogation. What really happened that night at the crime scene? Was it about drugs - or about much more? Then there is a second death and step by step Nina Rubin and her colleague Karow track down a horrific truth...

Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch), chief inspectors in Frankfurt, are called to a gruesome find: body parts wrapped in plastic bags. It quickly turns out that the victim comes from Kassel. It's 17-year-old Luke Rohde, stepson of the nation's sunny boy, popular television talk show host Maarten Jansen (Barry Atsma). Jansen had led an idyllic family life with his wife Kirsten (Stephanie Eidt) and their two sons from their first marriage. Janneke and Brix are puzzled as to why Luke was the victim. To inquire about the status of the investigation, Maarten Jansen comes to the Kassel police headquarters. But inIn a conversation with Anna Janneke, more and more contradictions emerge. The two Frankfurt detectives realize that only Maarten can be the murderer of his stepson. A grueling interrogation begins.
Directed by Umut Dag, "The Monster of Kassel" takes the two Frankfurt investigators Anna Janneke and Paul Brix to Kassel in northern Hesse this time. In addition to Margarita Broich and Wolfram Koch, other leading roles include Barry Atsma, Christina Große, Stephanie Eidt, Justus Johanssen, Sofie Eifertinger, Anabel Möbius, Bruno Cathomas, Zazie de Paris, Isaak Dentler and many others. Stephan Brüggenthies wrote the book for this HR "crime scene".

Paul Fuchs was old, bedridden and in need of care. Nonetheless, his death was not imminent. His diligent family doctor thinks it is possible that he could be killed and calls the police, who drop the case because there is no evidence that he was deliberately not taking any medication. Christian Hinderer was also old, bedridden and in need of care. When he is found dead at the bottom of a flight of stairs, his widow Gundula accuses the geriatric nurse Anne Werner of pushing him down. Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz are called again. Again, no evidence can be found. This time, however, they do not stop the investigation, because: Paul Fuchs was also a patient of Anne Werner. So it is already the second dubious death among the patients of the mobile nursing service within a short time.
But whoever the investigators question, apart from Gundula Hinderer , everyone is full of praise for Anne Werner. She is friendly, competent and completely correct, and that in a job whose conditions are anything but easy. Anne Werner herself calmly but emphatically denies the suspicion. Nevertheless: Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz examine the entire life of the geriatric nurse, question her again and again, and don't give up. Under no circumstances do they want to give up too soon a second time... In the ambiguous "Tatort: Anne und der Tod" written by Wolfgang Stauch and directed by Jens Wischnewski, the Stuttgart inspectors Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz use all their art of interrogation, they examine daily routines and patients' lives.
As they wrestle with the question of whether their investigations are even appropriate, they also come to terms with what the word nursing emergency means in reality.

After a nocturnal surf session on the wave in Munich's Eisbach, Mikesch (Andreas Lust) falls victim to a knife attack. He survives badly injured. Mikesch was a close friend of Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl) in the early 1980s. Together with the Dutchwoman Frida (Ellen ten Damme), the three of them spent an exciting summer on the beach in the Portuguese fishing village of Nazaré. Shortly thereafter, Franz broke off contact with both of them without a word. When he now, decades later, meets Mikesch again, the whole past is suddenly close again. Batic (Miroslav Nemec) is astonished about his friend as well as about the oddball Mikesch, who escapes from the hospital instead of cooperating with the police. Mikesch has to deal with a deal that the police are interfering with.

For Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) it is not unusual to offend at a higher level. The fact that the Minister of the Interior personally wants to keep them away from a case spurs them on even more: They simply ignore the instructions of their boss Ernst Rauter (Hubert Kramar) and drive to the house of politician Raoul Ladurner (Cornelius Obonya), where a bloodbath has taken place Has. For his wife, any help comes too late, the ten-year-old daughter is seriously injured in an artificial coma. Commissioner Julia Soraperra (Gerti Drassl), who is supposed to clear up the case at the behest of the minister, seems overwhelmed and self-conscious to Eisner and Fellner.
The traces not only point to an unsuccessful burglary, Ladurner's investigative committee against a Ukrainian businesswoman (Dorka Gryllus) also seems to play a role. However, Eisner's intuition causes him to doubt the credibility of the self-proclaimed clean man. When he and "Bibi" learn that Ladurner's first daughter committed suicide years ago , the investigators receive surprising insights into the broken family relationships. However, the true extent of the tragedy that unfolds for Bibi and Moritz in the course of their investigation is beyond imagination. In order to uncover the truth, they must not only keep a cool head, but also stand their ground in the face of increasing political pressure.
Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser aka Eisner and Bibi Fellner pull a mysterious case in the new Vienna "crime scene: luck alone". In order to investigate a deadly incident at the home of a top politician, the duo must even ignore a ministerial order. What initially looks like a deadly robbery gone wrong leads to suspicious dealings by an entrepreneur and to the victims' family secrets. In the role of the charismatic and manipulative member of the National Council Ladurner, Cornelius Obonya takes on the investigative duo. Gerti Drassl gets caught between the fronts as commissioner, whose special closeness to the politician seems more than suspicious.

Actually, the police officers Melanie Sommer (Anna Brüggemann) and Frank Schneider were only supposed to ensure peace and quiet at a loud party in a residential building. But a little later, the young detective is injured and found traumatized in the garden of the house. Her colleague was beaten up so brutally that any help comes too late for him. The police murder caused a stir not only in the headquarters and in the press. Frank Schneider's partner Stefan Pohl (Max Simonischek) can't believe the loss either: the two met on duty. The head of department Bernd Schäfer (Götz Schubert) did not like the relationship. He also doesn't like the fact that the homicide squad is now checking their own people...

When her opponent in the ring suffers a heart attack, boxer Martina Oberholzer (Tabea Buser) is prompted to stop doping immediately. She also wants to tell the press everything she knows about the background of the doping scene. To stop her, her corrupt manager Sven Brügger (Urs Humbel) locks Martina in an air raid shelter. Shortly thereafter, Brügger is shot. At the scene of the crime, investigators Reto Flückiger (Stefan Gubser) and Liz Ritschard (Delia Mayer) not only come across the dead boxing manager, but also Heinz Oberholzer (Peter Jecklin), who immediately confesses to the murder: Heinz is an ex-policeman and Martina's uncle. He shot and killed Brügger in an argument when he wanted to get the whereabouts of the kidnapped boxer out of him. So the murder case is solved quickly.
But what will become of Martina now? How are Flückiger and Ritschard supposed to find the kidnapped woman? Now that Brügger is dead, nobody seems to know where she is locked up. The situation is exacerbated by the desperate tip from Ferdi Oberholzer (Ingo Ospelt), Martina's father and at the same time her trainer: Due to the doping, his daughter suffers from increased fluid loss. Two days at the most, then she will have died of thirst if she doesn't get anything to drink. Time is pressing and the confessed murderer Heinz Oberholzer has a plan: He wants to be transferred to the prison where Pius Küng (Pit-Arne Pietz) is being held. Küng is the unscrupulous mastermind of the doping ring. Only he could know Martina's whereabouts.
But the plan is highly risky: As a former police officer, Heinz will have to be prepared for revenge from his former clients in prison. Nevertheless, Liz is committed to the project - even beyond the borders of legality. She knows Heinz from the beginning of her police career: he was once her instructor and she seems to trust him blindly - which increasingly irritates Flückiger. A rare conflict looms between the investigators - in their penultimate case together.

The well-known Dresden scene restaurateur Joachim Benda is found shot dead in his restaurant. For the investigators Karin Gorniak and Leonie Winkler, there is some evidence that Benda was extorted for protection money. Benda's wife Katharina reports that the family was attacked and threatened at home by masked men. Police are able to link one of the bullets from the crime scene to a weapon previously used in a red light murder. The matter is clear , especially for Commissariat Manager Schnabel, who knew and respected Benda and who wants to clear up the tragic murder case quickly. But when the testimony of an undercover investigator raises doubts about Benda's mafia connections, Katharina Benda becomes the focus of the investigation again.
The detectives find out that Benda wanted to have his wife admitted to a psychiatric ward. But her alibi for the crime night is complete. In order to uncover the truth, Gorniak and Winkler seek access to Viktor Benda, the couple's older son, who is increasingly being pressured by his mother.

Lohmann Solar Technology GmbH is about to go bankrupt. In desperation, Hajo Lohmann (Peter Trabner) and his wife Biggi (Katharina Marie Schubert) attempt insurance fraud and stage a robbery. However, when they are surprised by a security man, Biggi grabs his gun and shoots the man with a well-aimed shot between the eyes.
Brix and Janneke are faced with a riddle: Who is stealing from a small, medium-sized company? Are they professionals at work here? And which master marksman was responsible for the murder of the security man? While Brix (Wolfram Koch) and Janneke (MargaritaBroich), things are getting more and more complicated for Hajo and Biggi: Overwhelmed with the implementation of their plan and the cover-up of their crime, would-be gangsters also stand in their way, who want to steal the insurance money from them. When the would-be gangsters then also come into contact with real gangsters, they all try to cheat each other without anyone really keeping track.
When Biggi's insurance company refuses to pay, she desperately tries to save what can be saved - and slowly but surely sinks into her self-inflicted misery...

A wheelchair stands on the banks of the Rhine. Its owner has disappeared, leaving only a wallet behind. A suicide? A tragic accident? Or is it a crime? Lena Odenthal and Johanna Stern research the medical history of the disappeared and discover: everything points to suicide. But then the body of a doctor is found. She worked in brain research, where people with disabilities are supposed to regain mobility with the help of brain stimulation and where the missing wheelchair user also sought help. Lena and Johanna wonder if the self-confident, Nobel Prize-winning boss of the resident is involved in their case. He not only treats paralysis, but also has high-flying plans for the fusion of the human brain with artificial intelligence.
With Lena Odenthal, however, doubts about his credibility are growing. The possibilities of brain stimulation and the ambition of neuronal research are the subject of author and director Tom Bohn's "Tatort: Maleficius". In it, Sebastian Bezzel plays a researcher for whom everything seems possible in his impressive clinical world. 

The Weimar detectives Kira Dorn and Lessing bring the junkyard owner Harald Knopp to court. He is said to have murdered an art collector 15 years ago. During the trial, Knopp surprisingly presented the murdered woman's nephew, Rainer Falk, as a defense witness and was acquitted. Shortly thereafter, Lessing finds Knopp who has been shot. When it turns out that the fatal shot was fired from Lessing's service weapon, the commissioner is suspected of murder. Special Counsel Eva Kern, a former colleague of Kurt Stich, takes on the case. It's not good to eat cherries with her. Lessing ends up in a cell, Kira Dorn is withdrawn from the investigation because of bias. Supported by the policeman Lupo, who has just fallen in love, she does everything in her power to prove Lessing's innocence.
She visits Knopp's brother Georg and his wife Hannah , who dreams of having her own theater as an actress. From them she learns that Harald Knopp's esoterically interested wife Birte left her husband despite the acquittal. Birte doesn't believe in his innocence and is convinced that the god of misery is responsible for her whole misery. Rainer Falk also makes himself very suspicious when he tries to force Birte at gun point to hand over an old Indian statue at Knopp's junkyard. Kira's intervention prevents things from getting worse. Falk escapes, but that same night, Falk is assassinated by a woman in a green parka like Kira's. The special investigator starts a manhunt.
In order to prove their innocence and catch the real culprit, Kira Dorn and Lessing have to flee from their own colleagues. 

The body of Marcel Richter is found on a mountain plateau just outside of Stuttgart. The place is lonely and wildly beautiful - and the dead man has magical props that signal that the student may have been the victim of ritual murder. The commissioners Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz are therefore researching connections to occult circles. There was nothing like that, according to both Marcel's mother and Diana Jäger, a fellow student with whom the reticent student spent a lot of time. An address that the inspectors find on Marcel leads them to Emil Luxinger. The private scholar sees himself as a magician and claims to have been robbed by the student. That's why he put a damaging spell on him. In terms of hard facts, that brings theCommissioners not really further.
Cursing is not a criminal offense and does not result in death. But her distrust of Emil Luxinger, who appears to be very detached, has been aroused. While Lannert and Bootz try to find out whether the self-proclaimed magician actually acted, Luxinger tries to draw the detectives into his magical way of thinking. The "crime scene: guardian of the threshold", for which Michael Glasauer wrote the screenplay, leads the inspectors into intermediate worlds, in which things are sometimes quite tangible and in which their steadfastness is tested in more than one way. André M. Hennicke can be experienced as the magical antagonist of Richy Müller and Felix Klare, whose world director Piotr J. Lewandowski captures in beguiling images.

Somewhere on the periphery between Frankfurt and Offenbach there is an old, lonely police station. It is now a police museum, will soon be closed and only houses two police officers: Walter Brenner (Peter Kurth) and his colleague Cynthia (Christina Große). Brenner is an old friend of Felix Murot (Ulrich Tukur). He decides to visit his ex-colleague from the BKA days. In the meantime, something is brewing in the city: a solar eclipse, a daughter who has avenged her murdered father and escapes to the infirmary, and a prisoner transport with serious criminals who ends up stranded in front of the infirmary with a flat tire. Suddenly the station is fired upon, a gang opens fire - all hell breaks loose... 

A dignified dinner on Lake Lucerne: Lucerne's business, political and social elite - and right in the middle is Reto Flückiger (Stefan Gubser), who reluctantly accompanies his girlfriend Eveline (Brigitte Beyeler) to this illustrious occasion. When Flückiger noticed that something was wrong on the steamer, it was already too late: Flashes of light, smoke, broken windows, a dead captain - panic broke out on board. Everything points to an attack. Flückiger and Liz Ritschard (Delia Mayer) follow the trail of passenger Bernhard Ineichen (Martin Hug), who apparently disembarked shortly before the attack. The disappeared is a well-known cantonal councillor.
Is the man the perpetrator or was he himself a victim of the attack? And why can't Flückiger shake the feeling of being watched all the time? While Corinna Haas (Fabienne Hadorn) is analyzing cell phone pictures of the passengers, the police are increasingly having trouble with the alternative news portal "Veritas News". Its shady operator apparently has more information about what is happening on board than he wants to admit. He skilfully drives the investigators in front of him and indulges in wild speculations about the course of events.
Or is the portal actually in the process of uncovering a hard-nosed arms deal conspiracy that the Lucerne establishment wants to keep secret at all costs? And in the end does Eugen Mattmann (Jean-Pierre Cornu), Flückiger's boss, have anything to do with it? In their last case, the two Lucerne investigators get caught up in a seemingly impenetrable thicket of murder, misinformation and intrigues at the highest levels. 

Hannes Wagner is an institution in Münster. Or rather: it was him. Because on the morning after his 40th anniversary as market manager of the weekly market, which is well-known far beyond the city limits, he is dead as a doornail in his apartment. And almost every one of the market feeders would have good reason to transport Hannes Wagner to the afterlife. Not to mention those whom Wagner has not blessed with one of the coveted licenses for a stand on the market during the decades of his rule. A trail leads the investigators to a small liquorice factory, to Monika, Boerne's first love and to a long-ago case that finally turned little Karl-Friedrich into the big Boerne...

When Chief Inspector Robert Karow (Mark Waschke) comes home, there is a hearse in front of his house. Karow's neighbor is dead. The inspector lived next to a corpse for weeks and didn't notice anything. Karow is devastated, while the landlady, Petra Olschewski (Karin Neuhäuser), is in a hurry to have the place cleaned. Although he has never had contact with the man, Karow spontaneously enters the neighboring apartment and declares it to be the scene of the crime. When coroner Jamila Marques (Cynthia Micas) discovers a shot in the neck of the already mummified corpse, Nina Rubin (Meret Becker) thinks about Karow's thesis "eviction by murder" and takes aim at the landlady.
Karow, on the other hand, follows a trail to clans in Berlin that send young people like Ana (Elina Vildanova) and Magda (Amira Demirkiran) to burglary with old people. Karow comes into contact with Gerd Böhnke (Otto Mellies), the former judge. D. was the victim of such a burglary. Did Karow's dead neighbor suffer a similar fate? The more the inspectors found out about Gerd Böhnke, the more they saw the bearer of the Order of Honored Lawyer of the GDR in a new light. The death penalty was only abolished in the GDR in 1987 - the "crime scene" took up the topic for the first time. The fall of the Wall in autumn 1989 was 30 years ago. The Berlin "Tatort" takes this anniversary as an opportunity to tell about a little-known piece of history that has not yet been discussed in the ARD crime series: the death penalty was imposed in the GDR.
Screenwriter Sarah Schnier says: "In the course of another project, I had dealt with the GDR and its judicial system and learned that the death penalty existed until 1987. From this little-known circumstance, I constructed a story for the murder victim, where the greater mystery in the end may not be how he died, but how and why he lived."

In the West Palatinate, a young, committed police officer is shot dead during a routine check of a truck driver. He was one of the employees of Stefan Tries, the head of the police station in Zarten. Tries is no stranger to Lena Odenthal, who is entrusted with the case: almost 30 years earlier, he stood by her when she had to solve a murder in Zarten. With her colleague Johanna Stern, Lena Odenthal returns to the place where she once met the up-and-coming police officer Stefan Tries. He is now an aged provincial king who has his own view of what is legal in his kingdom. It quickly becomes clear that his understanding does not match that of Lena Odenthal. What has become of Stefan Tries is also a personal question for Lena. Old feelings play a role, thatLives lived and dreams given. It's about dependency and corruption. And about a victim, a young police officer like Stefan Tries once did, who set out to make his homeland a better place.
SWR celebrates the 30th birthday of the Lena-Odenthal "crime scene" with "Tatort: The Palatinate from above". Author Stefan Dähnert used motifs from the third Lena Odenthal "crime scene" "Tod im Häcksler" from 1991, which was also set in the fictitious town of Zarten. Just like back then, local policeman Stefan Tries is played by Ben Becker. This encounter creates a new closeness between the two characters, while the different developments drive them apart. The sequel, which is also the 70th case of Lena Odenthal, was staged by Brigitte Maria Bertele.

Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) get a special assignment that leads the Viennese investigators to a remote corner of Carinthia at the foot of the Grossglockner. Hubert Tribusser (Christoph von Friedl), the junior boss of a timber company of the same name, is missing there. His father (Johannes Seilern), a friend of the Vienna police chief, does not want to leave the investigation to the local police station. As soon as Eisner and Fellner arrive in the Mölltal, the search is over - but not the unpopular case. Sawmill workers found "something" from Hubert in the kiln ash: a titanium implant from his shoulder joint. The find points to a crime that someone tried to cover up.
A first suspicion falls on the Environmental activist Holzer (David Oberkogler), against whom the Tribussers have filed a lawsuit for defamation and who is said to have had a heated argument with Hubert on the evening of the murder. In the search for the perpetrators and the motive, the Viennese investigative duo uncovers that the dead man was anything but a saint. Hubert took what he wanted: money from the company treasury, countless affairs and even the wife (Caroline Frank) of his own brother Klaus (Alexander Linhardt). The local police chief Alois Feinig (Karl Fischer), who Eisner knows from before, is involved in the investigation. He provides the Viennese duo with local insider knowledge, Asian wisdom and a promising lead. While Eisner thinks highly of his old friend, Bibi observes him with growing skepticism. 

A sniper shoots at a truck driver at a truck stop, the perpetrator flees undetected. Thorsten Falke and Julia Grosz are investigating in the environment of the forwarding agency: Is it a matter of a mentally disturbed individual perpetrator or a dispute in the trucker milieu? During their investigation, Falke and Grosz encounter a wall of silence. While they increasingly suspect blackmail, the perpetrator strikes again...

Out of nowhere, eight-year-old Simon runs in front of the inspectors Klaus Borowski and Mila Sahin in a coastal forest near Kiel. Confused, the boy reports that his grandfather is lying dead in the forest, that he was attacked by a dog and protected by an Indian. Borowski hurriedly searches the forest, but finds nothing. Instead, he notices a sailing ship anchored in the bay. When the inspectors bring Simon back to his parents, Johann and Nadja Flemming, it is confirmed that grandfather Heinrich has disappeared. He suffered from Alzheimer's and often just started walking disoriented. Before Johann and Nadja Flemming took him in, Heinrich had lived in Denmark in an alternative community on the sailing ship.
On the morning of his disappearance, his Danish partner Inga had threatened to take him back by force if necessary. The next day Heinrich's body is found on the beach - mysteriously buried next to a half-decomposed dog carcass. The ship has disappeared without a trace. Who Killed Henry? Borowski is certain: Simon saw the perpetrator...

Father Frost has struck. Shortly before Christmas Eve, half of Münster caught a cold. Also in court, where Chief Inspector Frank Thiel (Axel Prahl) and Prof. Karl-Friedrich Boerne (Jan Josef Liefers) are waiting for the verdict in a murder trial. Public prosecutor Wilhelmine Klemm (Mechthild Großmann) even has to break off her closing speech, and the verdict is adjourned because of the outbreak of colds. Actually, the evidence in the murder case is clear - but then a mysterious caller reports to Chief Inspector Thiel. Thiel and Boerne actually wanted to spend Christmas with family and friends, but to their disappointment they canceled. The case and the work assignment before Christmas Eve is a welcome distraction.

In an unusual case, the Munich chief inspectors Batic and Leitmayr have to cross the boundaries of time and space in several ways. The respected development expert of an NGO that organizes aid projects for Africa from Bavaria is murdered with a long-forgotten poison. Indications of possible perpetrators or a motive are initially rare. However, shortly before his death, the victim announced his own murder. There are traces of a meticulous search in the man's apartment - and a young woman from Kenya was apparently with him in his last minutes. But when the car they were taking to the hospital crashed, she left him alone and disappeared.
Batic and Leitmayr come across clues that lead to a globaloperating smuggler cartel in East Africa, which uses older people of German origin as money and drug couriers: inconspicuous pensioners who have never been criminals to date. One of this group is arrested at the airport in Kenya with a suitcase full of money and is now in Nairobi's toughest prison, where he fears for his life because of his insider knowledge. The other pensioners in Munich are stubbornly silent. They are all just small fish in big business - and the Bavarian investigators have to resort to unorthodox methods to catch the big fish.
Gradually, the clues and clues combine to form an image in the center of which old GDR ghosts from the Ministry for State Security become visible.
