Overview
Actually, the police officers Melanie Sommer (Anna Brüggemann) and Frank Schneider were only supposed to ensure peace and quiet at a loud party in a residential building. But a little later, the young detective is injured and found traumatized in the garden of the house. Her colleague was beaten up so brutally that any help comes too late for him. The police murder caused a stir not only in the headquarters and in the press. Frank Schneider's partner Stefan Pohl (Max Simonischek) can't believe the loss either: the two met on duty. The head of department Bernd Schäfer (Götz Schubert) did not like the relationship. He also doesn't like the fact that the homicide squad is now checking their own people...
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.
