Original synopsis

Overview

The Berlin taxi entrepreneur Herbert Klemke is found dead in his office. The investigations by commissioners Till Ritter (Dominic Raacke) and Felix Stark (Boris Aljinovic) quickly reveal that various people had a fight with Klemke on the night of the crime: his former employee Bülent Delikara (Oktay Özdemir), for example, that of his ex-boss get a bigger amount of money. Or Ziska Zuckowski (Alwara Höfels): With her brother Pit (Christian Blümel), she continues to run her parents' delicatessen, which is running more or less poorly, and could no longer afford the constantly increasing additional costs of her landlord Klemke. She has a motive – just like Klemke's daughter Dagmar (Nicolette Krebitz), who wanted to use her father's money to open a diving school in a luxury Australian resort. Klemke's secretary Edith Welziehn (Renate Krößner) had been loyal to her boss for over 40 years and is now deeply shocked by the human loss. During further investigations, the inspectors discover that Klemke's bank advisor Christa Meinecke (Tatjana Blacher) has carried out money transactions on her own - including via Klemke's accounts. Ms Meinecke has known both Ziska Zuckowski and Dagmar Klemke for years and is aware of their financial needs and concerns. And Klemke, in turn, found out what Frau Meinecke was doing behind his back and wanted to confront her on the night of the crime. There are many suspects, but all leads come to nothing, because all possible perpetrators have a watertight alibi. Nevertheless, Ritter and Stark are absolutely certain: They must look for the murderer in Klemke's immediate vicinity.

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.
