Original synopsis

Overview

The former miner Andreas Sobitsch is found shot dead on the river bank, not far from Dortmund. His home was an old colliery settlement. Inspectors Peter Faber, Martina Bönisch, Nora Dalay and Jan Pawlak question friends and ex-colleagues of the murder victim. Sobitsch had campaigned for the interests of the miners to the end. But there is a dispute in the once tight -knit community: an amusement park will soon open on the site of their colliery. But finding new, adequate jobs in the region is difficult. Many feel they are the losers of structural change in the Ruhr area. New clues emerge during the investigation: Are there connections to extremist circles?

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.
