Der Hammer fällt
Elisabeth Meisner hat nur kurz Gelegenheit, sich an der erfolgreichen Ersteigerung der Statue des Totengottes Mictlantecuhtli zu erfreuen – wenig später liegt sie erschossen in ihrer Wohnung, von der Statue fehlt jede Spur. Hat sich der Gott des Todes sein Opfer geholt? Oder sind es weitaus profanere Motive, die Frau Meisner das Leben gekostet haben?
Hauptkommissar Schickl und sein Team haben schon bald zwei Verdächtige: Frederic Weber, der ungeliebte und habgierige Neffe Elisabeths, und Georg von Kroll, Kunstliebhaber und auf besagter Auktion Elisabeths größter Konkurrent beim Kampf um die Statue.
Doch bevor die Beamten der SOKO 5113 den Täter überführen können, fordert der Gott des Todes ein zweites Opfer – und löst einen Wettlauf gegen die Zeit aus ...
Since its groundbreaking debut in 1971, Polizeiruf 110 has solidified its place as one of Germany's most beloved crime series. Originally produced by East German television (DFF) before being adopted by ARD institutions after reunification, this iconic show has captivated audiences with its intricate plots and compelling characters for over five decades. The series serves as a fascinating counterpart to West Germany's Tatort, offering viewers an enthralling blend of crime, drama, mystery, and thriller elements that keep them on the edge of their seats.
Set against the backdrop of a divided Germany and later reunified nation, Polizeiruf 110 offers more than just thrilling police investigations; it provides a unique lens into the social and political landscape of its time. This depth is one reason why it quickly became a crowd favorite and continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. With a staggering 55 seasons and 425 episodes under its belt, it's clear that Polizeiruf 110 is not just another TV show—it's an enduring cultural phenomenon.
The show's longevity can be attributed to its compelling characters who bring each episode's complex narratives to life. Viewers are introduced to an ensemble cast featuring standout performances from Peter Borgelt as Peter Fuchs, Sigrid Göhler as Vera Arndt, Jaecki Schwarz as Hauptkommissar Herbert Schmücke, Wolfgang Winkler as Hauptkommissar Herbert Schneider, among others. Their portrayals create rich character arcs that draw you into their world—a world filled with suspense and moral dilemmas.
