Tod am Rosenmontag (working title: Murder in Foolish Time ) is a German television film by Walter Bannert from 1998 based on a script by Franz Xaver Sengmüller . It is the 13th episode of the crime series Der Bulle von Tölz with Ottfried Fischer as the main actor in the role of Chief Inspector Benno Berghammer. It was first broadcast on February 22, 1998 on Sat.1 .
action
At a carnival event, Arnold Netzthaler is stabbed from behind in the bar. The small puncture point indicates a kind of knitting needle with a length of about 30 cm as a murder weapon. Although Commissioner Sabrina Lorenz is present, there are no witnesses for the act because the Prinzengarde drew the attention of all the ball visitors.
Monika Netzthaler, the victim's wife, claims to have slept at home at the time in question; she took a sleeping pill because of a severe migraine . For public prosecutor Dr. The case is still clear to Zirner because the now widow was not so strict about marital fidelity: either Mrs. Netzthaler or her lover killed her husband - or both of them together.
Prelate Hinter and Notary Schmidseder have been receiving anonymous threatening letters in the same style for a few weeks. Since Schmidseder wore the same costume as the murder victim at the carnival event, it cannot be ruled out that the perpetrator confused the two.
The power suddenly goes out at the senior wreath in the parish hall. When the prelate behind him is working on the fuse box, he is threatened by a man disguised as death . Resi Berghammer's courageous intervention drives him to flee. The connections between prelate, notary and letter writer gradually become clear to Commissioner Benno Berghammer when his mother tells him that the prelate tried to persuade her to bequeath the "Pension Resi" to the church . The notarial clerk Eva Lachner mentions Berghammer a case where she had doubts as to whether the elderly lady was still aware of the scope of her actions.
In the meantime it has been found that Monika Netzthaler was not at home on the night of the crime, but with a certain Max Roidl; a neighbor saw the woman get out of a taxi at 3:00 a.m. Public Prosecutor Dr. Zirner has therefore obtained search warrants in the hope of finding the murder weapon in one of the apartments. However, Commissioner Berghammer is increasingly convinced that the notary was the actual target. With his colleague Lorenz, he visits Tobias Schöpplein, the grandson of the lady whose name he learned from Eva Lachner. The student Schöpplein frankly admits to having written the threatening letters because the prelate, with the help of the notary, hijacked his grandmother's fortune over a year ago. Unfortunately, he could not prove that she was no longer sane even then. The commissioners convince themselves that Ms. Schöpplein has dementia and ask the grandson for his alibi. He claims to have been home and wrote his thesis.
The search of Monika Netzthaler and Max Roidl's premises was unsuccessful. Ms. Netzthaler gives the reason for her lying about the sleeping pill that she was ashamed of the affair.
The commissioners Berghammer and Lorenz visit the notary Schmidseder to inform him that the letter writer has been identified, but that the murderer is still free. You therefore strongly advise against attending the last ball. Since the notary thinks that the event is too important to stay away, they set a trap for the murderer. When he stabbed his victim in the hustle and bustle, he could not get through with the weapon - under the disguise it was not the notary who was hiding, but Commissioner Lorenz, who was wearing a protective vest. The attacker is overwhelmed and unmasked. It is about the notarial clerk Eva Lachner, who gives the motive that she was "his Eva" for five years, but then a younger girl came and she was "Frau Lachner" again. He was sure to be getting a divorce because of the newcomers, he showed himself everywhere with her; his death would not have been a loss to anyone.
The next day Benno Berghammer visits Prelate Hinter again to persuade him to give up Frau Schöpplein's fortune. Only when the commissioner suggests that the media could leak how the church got this inheritance does the prelate give in.
