Original synopsis

Overview

Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg are called to a small settlement in the Black Forest, a popular place to live for young families whose children are supposed to grow up in a peaceful social environment. This idyll is shattered when an eleven-year-old dies from a gunshot wound and the boy next door disappears. While securing the evidence and tense search for the missing boy, the police find a mysterious weapons depot near the crime scene. Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg follow the trail of the weapons and look for witnesses, especially since the child of the third neighboring family, who returned home peacefully, apparently did not notice anything out of the ordinary. They are not destined to have quick success, and while the investigations continue, they are driven by grief, worry and mistrustparents who are actually good friends are getting further and further apart. ? There are dark fir trees, snow-covered slopes and deep ravines in the first "Tatort Schwarzwald" with Eva Löbau and Hans-Jochen Wagner. The small town in which they work as chief inspectors Tobler and Berg, supported by Steffi Kühnert as their superior Cornelia Harms, is less characterized by traditional structures, mainly city dwellers live here, newcomers, among whom the drama of three even carefree parent couples unfolded. With "Tatort: Goldbach", Robert Thalheim staged an intense crime drama written by Bernd Lange, in which the actors are the focus and the impressive images serve to create tension between the characters.

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.
