Unter Männern
Ein ausgebrannter Wagen, eine verkohlte Leiche. Steffen Kurz wurde erschlagen, und alle Spuren wurden durch das Feuer vernichtet. Die SOKO findet heraus, dass das Opfer Mitglied im Kreis war.
Der Kreis ist eine Therapiegruppe für Männer, die für den Abend ein spirituelles Treffen im Wald angesetzt hatte. Außer Kurz wollten noch Lamprecht, Gülpek, Bender und der Therapeut Feldmann teilnehmen. Einer von den vieren muss der Mörder sein.
Die Kommissare ermitteln für jeden der Therapie-Kollegen ein Motiv für den Mord. Aber aus den Kreislern ist nichts herauszubekommen. Sie halten zusammen und schweigen vor der Polizei. Da gibt es nur eine Möglichkeit: Einer der männlichen SOKOs muss sich ins Innere des Kreises begeben und undercover ermitteln. (Text: ZDF)
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.
