Original synopsis

Overview

Mechthild Stemmler, single mother of three children and recipient of Hartz IV, works as a volunteer at the lunch table. During the food distribution for the needy, she collapses unconscious. Mechthild Stemmler dies on the way to the hospital. Cause of death is poisoning. Inspector Charlotte Saenger and Inspector Fritz Dellwo immediately start a campaign to collect the food that has been handed out, since an attack on the lunch table cannot be ruled out. But then they get a tip from the coroner that suggests that Mechthild Stemmler was murdered on purpose. During their investigation, Singer and Dellwo uncover a dark past involving several lunchtime workers.

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.
