Original synopsis

Overview

Karl and Mike Dippon are brothers who couldn't be more different. While Karl fervently maintains his parents' vineyard on the slopes of Stuttgart, Mike has decided to venture into the high-tech industrial world down in the valley, a world in which he has quickly made quite a few enemies. When he dies of all things at his mother's funeral feast from an unexplained fall, Inspector Bienzle quickly finds people who hated Mike or who benefited from his death: Ralf Schaufler z. B., head of a small but excellent supplier company, was mercilessly pressed by Mike, who is responsible for placing orders with the large mechanical engineering group WÜWAG, so that his existence is endangered. Mike's fierce competitor within the company, Stefan Butz, is also suspect, since he was at the scene of the crime, which he initially concealed. Or is it a family story? Mike's widow, Nadja Jehle-Dippon, is at least very interested in her deceased mother-in-law's will. At Bienzle private, a baby that Hannelore carelessly took care of for a few days completely upsets the household and the peace of the house.

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.
