Overview
Fire alarm again in Cologne! A series of arson attacks keeps the city in suspense, and now there are even fatalities. Three children die in the burned-out villa. Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk need a quick manhunt because the intervals between the arson attacks are getting shorter and shorter. At the scene of the crime, the inspectors meet Karen Reinhardt, who is in shock. She has mild smoke inhalation but otherwise no injuries. She doesn't want to admit that her children didn't survive the fire. And there is no trace of her husband Gerald Reinhardt. Neighbors say he is employed by Cologne Airtech as an aeronautical engineer. But the investigation shows: He was fired here two years ago.
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.
