Overview
Contractor Detlef Börner is killed in an unusual way at night in the construction container of his large construction site: he is first incapacitated by the shovel of a wheel loader and then left to his fate with a blood-thinning injection. Shortly thereafter, a second murder occurs in Marbach. Restaurant operator Sigrun Karrenbrock is run over by a stolen off-road vehicle and also bleeds to death. A photo and the method of murder lead the detectives to the fact that the two cases are connected. They actually discover that Börner and Karrenbrock used to be a couple. The last call Börner answered came from Michael Joswig, a former fellow student. He appears to be the sole survivor of a circle of friends that broke up many years ago. The Stuttgart detectives Lannert and Bootz believe that the motive for the murders can be found in this circle of friends, but Joswig says nothing about it. The deeper Lannert and Bootz delve into the lives of the murder victims, the more convinced they are that the killer wanted to punish his victims. However, this also puts Joswig and his family in mortal danger.
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.
