Overview
The victim was in a permanent clinch with her neighbor Wilhelmine Klemm. But could the renowned Münster prosecutor actually have something to do with the death of the seriously ill Patrizia Merkens? Wilhelmine Klemm's adversary in office, public prosecutor Ungewitter, doesn't want to rule that out. And so detectives Frank Thiel and Nadeshda Krusenstern investigate in all directions. Her search for clues leads her to the zoo, among other places.Here the – according to reports – unsociable Patrizia Merkens was obviously a permanent guest. Meanwhile, forensic pathologist Prof. Boerne has caught the fever of cooking, because none other than gourmet and media producer Dr. Stockmann gives the forensic pathologist the chance for a second career as a TV chef. What Patrizia Merkens actually died of requires a final toxicological investigation.
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.
