the topics of The “Tatort”-series are often, as they say, on the street. But sometimes also including. In Cologne a result of the “bomb business” wants to RAM a digger guide the shovel again into the soil, as him to stop a nervous colleague tried. Because from the ground, a dud stands out. On his bread-and-butter chewing excavator guide, relationship rich from the Radio distracted by the OMD Song “Enola Gay”, responding only at the last Moment. Well, that was lucky.

Not quite: Peter Krämer (Beat Marti) and his colleague Katharina Vostell (Isabel thier also) defuse the Five-ton bomb in front of the place, but in the warehouse of the explosive ordnance disposal service, Krämer a blast but still killed. He was wiped out literally. “As the Person would never have been there,” says the coroner, Roth (Jo Bausch). Is found only a piece of his lower jaw bone, in which the metal sliver of a modern hand grenade. So not a dud-accident, murder or suicide, to conclude the commissioners Ballauf (Klaus J. Behrendt) and Schenk (Dietmar Bär). If this scenario is physically and medically everything was.

real and current circumstances

But the new “Tatort”episode, undoubtedly refers to the real and current circumstances: Alone, Cologne had been bombed in the Second world war 262 Times out of the air; everything else lies dormant in the ground, nobody knows exactly. The recent finding of a Bomb has just been defused in the night to Thursday in the right Bank of the Rhine in Cologne-Kalk. Build and bombs, new and old loads – in order to stay in the picture, the ground is prepared for a pick pack fully Laden history. It’s about love and friendship, to the trauma of the War, zeal and the game is looking to be a father-son conflict and a bit also to gentrification. Because of the late Peter Krämer not only had an affair with his colleague, Vostell, what a classic motive for Murder would be for his wife, Alena (Alessija Lause), and the jealous colleague Joachim Maiwald (Adrian Topol). And then grabbed Krämer the easily excitable Sascha Feichdinger (Thomas Darchinger) a house in a sought-after new estate in front of the nose.

but If there is in this somewhat overloaded Film, a figure that is worth Turning on, then this is Alexander Haug (Sascha Alexander Gersak), a shopkeeper, a former bomb disposal colleague who relies on the wheelchair, since he entered Bosnia on a Mine. Haug is a quick-witted Type, the force acts like crude and stupid sayings out of the skin (“As a cripple, you don’t make any big jumps”), at the same time, thanks to Gersak very full and alive.

The first Whodunit for Thomas Stiller

For Thomas Stiller, for almost 30 years as a screenwriter and Director, it is “the first Time that I have ventured to a classic ,Whodunit'”. The audience should discover together with Ballauf and Schenk “and puzzles, who was involved in the act.” The result of the “bomb business” is a “crime scene”, just wants to be criminal, the commissioners are just investigators.
