Overview

Did IT expert Sebastian Sandberg really throw himself off his balcony? Commissioners Frank Thiel and Nadeshda Krusenstern take up the investigation. Prof. Boerne and Silke "Alberich" Haller did not immediately find evidence of a murder in forensic medicine. But there is evidence of a burglary in the dead man's apartment. Now Frank Thiel finally wants to go to the gym when colleague Krusenstern reports with an urgent assignment. Just at this moment, a strange young woman is standing in front of the inspector's apartment door: Leila Wagnerclaims to be Thiel's daughter. But that will have to wait. Just like the preparations for the oral hunting test: Prof. Boerne wants to pursue the game in the forests of the Münsterland in the future. But first his expertise as a forensic doctor is in demand. Because the IT expert is not the only murder victim. A journalist is found lifeless in a farm on the outskirts of the city. He was known nationwide for his persistent research - and for his latest story he was taking a close look at a local feed company.

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.
