Overview
The social worker Andreas Haber is found murdered in the Stuttgart children and youth center Klaus' Haus. The investigations of the inspectors Lannert (Richy Müller) and Bootz (Felix Klare) are difficult, because there are many conceivable courses of action - and too many lies. The dead man's colleague, Kathi Dorst (Maryam Zaree), and his supervisor Sven Vogel (Tobias Oertel) are not very cooperative. And the financier and sponsor of Klaus' house, the industrial heir Frank Schöllhammer (Patrick Schöllemann), is also silent. A first suspicion falls on 13-year-old Sarah Baumbach (Ruby O. Fee), who was a constant guest in the youth center and lives with her sister Jeanette (Britta Hammelstein) with her macho friend Ronald (Antonio Wannek) Prager. But what reason should the precocious girl have had to murder Andreas Haber? Schöllhammer is also suspicious. Because although the youth center is financed by the Schöllhammer Foundation, there is a lack of money everywhere - the payments seem to have stopped. The case takes a surprising turn when Sarah confesses to killing Andreas Haber. Although the existing traces match their statement, Lannert and Bootz remain skeptical. And while Sebastian Bootz can hardly reconcile his investigations with his family obligations, Thorsten Lannert suddenly finds his life in 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.
