Overview

A series of murders startles the tourist town of Lahnenberg from its happy hustle and bustle. The guests of the place stay away, for the hoteliers a financial catastrophe is looming. A race against time begins for criminalists Moritz Eisner and Stefanie Gschnitzer: every day the perpetrator murders a tourist, which he plans and carries out perfectly. Is it pure coincidence that all the victims were guests of the Alpenhotel? The clues are sparse, but all murder cases have one thing in common: With every corpse, the killer leaves behind a "deadly souvenir" - a snow globe. Moritz Eisner and Stefanie Gschnitzer hit each other during theirInvestigations in this highly complex case through the financial and emotional jungle of the place and the leading hotelier family Kofler, who own the Alpenhotel. The circle of suspects keeps growing: There is the brother Werner of the Lahnenberger Hotel Kaiser, Markus Kofler, who can identify just as little with the type of tourism practiced as his old father, who cannot stand against the superiority of the Kofler brothers can prevail. And finally, the DJ and entertainer Jan, who works at the Alpenhotel and who had a serious argument with a murder victim the day before, is examined more closely by the inspectors.

About the show

Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
