Original synopsis

Overview

Hotel employee Marion Faust was violently thrown from the balcony at home. Ballauf and Schenk find out that shortly before her death she had left several concerned messages on Susanne Baumann's answering machine. But the employee of the internationally renowned architects Könecke & Partner is currently untraceable. Could her husband Lars Baumann have something to do with it? As site manager, he should have been back in Qatar long ago, where Könecke & Partner is building for the 2022 World Cup. He is also said to be urgently looking for his wife. And apparently there had recently been a loud argument between him and Marion Faust at the hotel reception. But when the commissioners want to interrogate him at the headquarters, he goes into hiding.

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.
