action

Major Peter Palfinger from Graz, who had to rely on a wheelchair after an accident while paragliding , took up his post as head of the violent and blood crimes department in Salzburg . His superior, Hofrat Alfons Seywald, is surprised by his handicap. Palfinger himself is an incorrigible optimist, takes his incomplete paraplegia as a challenge and is convinced that it can be cured. He is training to conquer the Untersberg on his own two feet one day without a wheelchair. His first case is waiting for him when he starts working at the new department. He receives support in the investigations from District Inspector Irene Russmeyer.

A murder occurs on the border between Salzburg and Bavaria in the Untersberg area, real estate agent Walter Holzer is found dead. Since the responsibilities in the border region are not completely clear, the Salzburg major and the Bavarian chief detective Hubert Mur from Traunstein investigate in parallel, each with his own methods. Officially, the press initially spoke of a hunting accident, although the dead man was found tied up. Holzer was a well-known investment fraud, who around ten years ago defrauded numerous investors with a pyramid scheme before moving to Bavaria in order not to be prosecuted by the Austrian judiciary. Numerous victims would have a motive. Holzer also wanted to divorce his wife, so she is also one of the suspects, as is the idealistic lawyer Stefan Sandberger and Holzer's Austrian business partner Nico Brix, who served Holzer as a straw man .

Kriminalhauptkommissar Mur, a straightforward and rational lone fighter with little humor and empathy, is primarily interested in the lost money of the investors concerned. He believes he has found the perpetrator in Nico Brix and kidnaps him to Bavaria so that he can be arrested in his area of ​​responsibility. Meanwhile, opera singer Dave Harper tells District Inspector Russmeyer that he lost his wife to cancer more than ten years ago. Russmeyer later discovers, however, that Harper's wife had actually committed suicide after losing all of her fortune to Holzer. Palfinger convicts Harper as the real perpetrator, he had practiced vigilante justice and murdered Holzer after it became clear that Holzer could no longer be prosecuted due to the statute of limitations of his act.

Reviews

The Standard wrote: “But the film is strongest when it refers to the small discriminations of handicapped people in everyday life, to the crooked looks of the body fetishists in the gym, to unwanted pity, to the unspoken question of how things are as a wheelchair user the sex works. The crime thriller always remains politically incorrect. "

Heike Hupertz found in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that The Dead of Salzburg seems to be an affair of the heart for Erhard Riedlsperger, Klaus Ortner and Kai Longolius. There would be no lack of local color and characteristically drawn types, the disability issue is casually discussed, and the actual criminal case is a dozen items. “The development of the relationship between Palfinger and his brother, the priest and secretary of the Archbishop, commonly known as the press spokesman for God , Sebastian Palfinger, promises to be interesting . A representative of earthly and one of timeless justice - sparks can always be made from this, see Don Camillo and Peppone . So the dead of Salzburg looks very promising. "

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv said that the special thing about the film was the main character, well cast with Florian Teichtmeister: “Charming, sarcastic and always with a certain nonchalance when the German colleague, an unpleasant know-it-all, looks around the corner . “The pattern of the unequal couple seems to be trying hard, also in terms of dramaturgical and film language everything would be old-fashioned , especially the sedate parallel montage is annoying. "That won't bother the viewer: the main thing is murder, the main thing is a crime!"
