Heiliger Birnbaum is a German TV film directed by Wolfgang F. Henschel from 2008 . It is the fourteenth episode of the ARD crime film series Pfarrer Braun with Ottfried Fischer in the title role.

action

So that Pastor Braun cannot disrupt the upcoming appointment of Bishop Hemmelrath as cardinal, the bishop moves him to the deeply Protestant Ribbeck in the Havelland . There, pear pieces are served at the Lord's Supper in the tourist madness. Theodor Fontane's poem about the pear tree is set in Ribbeck.

The Protestant pastor Lehmkuhl collapsed dead shortly after Braun's arrival in the evening prayer; a piece of pear was apparently poisoned. In addition, the tree stump that remains from the original pear tree in Fontane's poem, which was on display in the church, disappears . A suspicious hotelier wanted the tree stump as an attraction for his hotel; but a pharmacist was also interested in the tree so that it could be genetically engineered. Geiger suspects the pastor's mother, who also dies a short time later. Pastor Braun is investigating a crime with a deeply Protestant background.
