Overview
In a fire in an apartment building in the Kalk district on the right bank of the Rhine, a young woman dies as a result of smoke inhalation. According to the first results, it is arson with fatal consequences. The landlord's dismay is great, his verdict unequivocal: 'It can only have been the gypsies!' Ever since a home for Sinti and Roma opened in the district, there have been repeated conflicts between the refugees from the areaformer Yugoslavia and the locals. A local residents' initiative is demanding the closure of the refugee home and is fighting against the right to stay for 'criminal foreigners'. In fact, the evidence initially seems to point against the Roma girl Lutvija. However, as the investigations in Cologne's 'problem area' show, the context of the case is far more complex than it first appears.
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.
