Original synopsis

Overview

The high school rector, Max Junghans, who is highly respected in the community, dies in the explosion of a new cell phone mast. For Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper, the question quickly arises as to why the teacher canceled his "Night Wanderer" tour in the middle of the night and went to the transmission mast. Who sent him there with a text message? The investigations focus on the former demolition expert Georg Schwab, the head of thelocal citizens' initiative against radio masts. Max Junghans was not only responsible for the construction of the transmission mast near Schwab's apartment - he also had a relationship with his 18-year-old daughter Mona Schwab. But Junghan's wife may also benefit from her husband's death. Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper are also facing a few sleepless nights, and in this case they become night walkers themselves.

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.
