Overview
Even good people can die. The popular social entrepreneur Hans-Martin Taubert falls off a bridge and survives with serious injuries. Dresden investigators Henni Sieland and Karin Gorniak meet three homeless witnesses who claim that Taubert was thrown off the bridge. Taubert founded Berberhilfe, a company that takes care of housing the homeless and other people in need. He got rich through the poor and made no secret of it publicly. The three homeless people claim to be Taubert's security. He's been threatened a lot lately. Taubert's brother Hajo is also targetedinvestigators. Significantly less business-savvy than Taubert, Hajo had borrowed money from him for a shady venture. Taubert insisted, brotherly love or not, on repayment. Shortly thereafter, another attack on Taubert is carried out in the hospital... The work for the people on the fringes of society is so lucrative that everyone fights for profit with all means. The inspectors also target Taubert's competitors. They get unwanted support from Wiebke Lohkamp, a colleague from the fraud department, with whose help the investigators discover a whole new side of their boss.
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.
