Overview
The student Jessi (18) has a date. But not in the disco, she goes to the nearby forest on the outskirts of town. A short time later she is dead. First a carbon arrow hits her in the thigh, then a knife stabs her in the heart. When a jogger finds the body the next day, it has bite marks and a twig in its mouth, among other things. The Saarland team of investigators led by chief inspectors Leo Holz (Vladimir Burlakov) and Adam Schürk (Daniel Sträßer) is puzzled because the branch in the mouth points to an old hunter's custom. Is it a ritual crime? First, the detectives investigate the victim's school environment , question teachers and classmates. Because Jessi's diary shows: She had a secret love. On the other hand, there were also plenty of scorned lovers. And suddenly Adam's father also appears on the scene: Robert Schürk, who woke up from a 15-year coma towards the end of the first episode ("The busy Lieschen"), claims to know who the perpetrator is. Meanwhile, another lead leads the chief inspectors Esther Baumann (Brigitte Urhausen) and Pia Heinrich (Ines Marie Westernströer) to France. Together, the team gets closer to a solution
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.
