Der Tod des Marquis
Till Weidenbach, Mitglied einer historischen Tanzgruppe, wird während des Jahrestreffens des "Freundeskreises Münchner Rokoko" ermordet aufgefunden, erstochen mit dem eigenen, zu seinem Rokoko gehörenden Degen. Die SOKO 5113 findet heraus, dass Weidenbach, von allen nur "der Marquis" genannt, seine Obsession für alles, was mit dem Rokoko zu tun hat, mit amourösen Dienstleistungen finanziert hat - namentlich erbracht für Caroline Brandt, die Vorsitzende des Freundeskreises, und deren Stellvertreterin und Intimfeindin Johanna von Bloberg. Hat der Hass zwischen den beiden Damen Weidenbach das Leben gekostet? Hat Carolines Mann Joseph von der Affäre seiner Frau erfahren und ihr ein blutiges Ende gesetzt? Oder hat Weidenbachs Freundin Franziska Hofer von dessen Nebentätigkeit Wind bekommen und ihn dafür bestraft?
If there’s one show that has stood the test of time in the world of crime dramas, it’s undoubtedly Tatort. First airing on November 29, 1970, this German-language police procedural television series has become a staple in households across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Broadcasted on major channels like ARD, ORF 2, and SF1, Tatort has produced over 1200 episodes across its remarkable 55 seasons. Each episode is distinctively crafted by various regional broadcasters, showcasing unique settings and local customs while maintaining a thread of gripping crime-solving narratives.
One of the most compelling aspects of Tatort is its commitment to character depth and development. The format allows for feature-length episodes averaging around 90 minutes each—far longer than typical weekly dramas—which affords viewers an immersive experience into the lives of its protagonists. From iconic inspectors like Schimanski to contemporary favorites navigating complex cases in bustling cities or quiet towns, viewers get a multi-dimensional view of not just the crimes but the cultures surrounding them. This emphasis on character makes it easy for audiences to connect with their stories and invest emotionally in their fates.
The collaborative production model behind Tatort is another reason for its phenomenal longevity and success. Each participating regional TV station contributes uniquely styled episodes featuring different teams of inspectors solving crimes in their own cities—from scenic Vienna to vibrant Berlin—showcasing local architecture and dialects as integral parts of the plotline. This approach not only enriches each episode but also fosters a sense of community among viewers who may recognize their own locales being portrayed onscreen.
