Original synopsis

Overview

In the Gaarden district of Kiel, 60-year-old Onno Steinhaus is found dead. Except for a group of children, nobody seems to have had contact with the neglected man. Klaus Borowski and Sarah Brandt look into an abyss of poverty and indifference when investigating the area surrounding the dead man. Steinhaus had a criminal record for pedophilia. None of the neighbors want to have noticed that children were constantly coming and going and celebrating wild parties. The police officer responsible for the district, Torsten Rauschcapitulated long ago in view of the social neglect of the district. Brandt's investigations brought to light a video showing the boy Timo Scholz in a tricky situation with Onno Steinhaus and also a scene in which Steinhaus was kicked and laughed at by the children. Was Steinhaus the victim of violent youth? 15-year-old Timo vehemently denies having been abused. Someone else has a secret: Sarah Brandt is conspicuously often looking for closeness to her colleague Torsten Rausch.

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.
