action
Chief Detective Hubertus Jennerwein is on the way to his new office in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , which he is to temporarily head for six months, because he was transferred from Munich to his hometown. As a first official act, he starts a survey of the owner because a car had pushed him off the road while driving. The new colleagues try hard to win Jennewein's favor, but he is very cool. The foehn situation does its job and his migraines take the rest of his mood away.
In the evening he was called to his first case. During a concert, the upper door closer Eugen Liebscher fell from the ceiling into the middle of the concert-goers and tore Ingo Stoffregen to his death. At first everything looks like an accident, because Liebscher was obviously drunk. The city is also partly to blame, because the ceiling area was not properly secured and should actually have been closed. It seems mysterious, however, that the second victim appeared late for the concert and as soon as he had taken his place, Liebscher fell down. This leads Jennerwein to the assumption that someone helped with the "accident". Detective Inspector Nicole Schwattke now finds out that someone wanted to hide something on the floor and she almost succeeds in arresting a suspect, but he escapes undetected.
Inspector Jennerwein collides with the building contractor Xaver Harasser during his investigation. Strangely enough, fingerprints of his son Markus can be found in the attic of the concert building. When it turns out that Markus Harasser was the driver who pushed Jennerwein off the road, it made his status with the inspector difficult and he was kept in custody. Jennerwein suspects that it was Markus Harasser who wanted to hide something on the evening of the concert in the attic and Eugen Liebscher had disturbed him, whereupon he could have bumped into the man.
In the meantime, the everyday life of the local undertaker couple Ursel and Ignaz Grasegger is out of joint. For some time now, they have been indulging in a macabre sideline by having corpses delivered to them on a regular basis, which they illegally dispose of for the Italian mafia and therefore make them disappear with the coffins of innocent villagers. The Austrian Karl Swoboda, who also lives with the Graseggers, helps them with this. When Swoboda gets into trouble with one of the mafia people and he wants to shoot him without further ado, Ignaz Grasegger runs over the man in order to save Swoboda's life. However, this action is observed by a hunter who brings the police on the trail of Grasegger. When Jennerwein wanted to visit the undertaker, he disappeared. The search of his workrooms brings the coffins with the double floors to light. For Jennerwein it is clear that Grasegger could not have organized this alone. So his path leads him to Xaver Harasser, because in addition to his normal construction work, he is also a consultant for cemetery occupancy. This closes the circle for Jennerwein. Markus Harasser wanted to hide the money from the Mafia in the attic of the concert hall and the misfortune happened, just as Jennerwein and his colleague Schwattke had suspected.
The fugitive Graseggers manage to get the mafia money together with Swoboda and leave the country.

criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv says about this thriller: “'Föhnlage' tells from a stimulating climate - the mood is correspondingly tense. Rainer Kaufmann's 'Alpine thriller' thrives on the atmosphere, the obstinacy of the characters, and the absurdity of criminal energy. There is a bit of an Italo-Western atmosphere in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps. And an Ösi gives the de Niro. A Bavarian delicacy, but not a one-piece film like its two homeland crime predecessors. "
