Mate in 5 moves

Template: checkerboard / maintenance / new

Solution: 

1. Dd7! droht Se4 matt und Dd5 matt
1. -    Txe5
2. cxd3   -   droht d4 matt
2. -    Sf5
3. d4+   Sxd4 Block
4. Dd5+! Txd5 Block
5. Se4 matt

The two pieces in the middle of the board to the block over two steps are reminiscent of the suffocated Matt .
