Rosentod is a German crime film by Hans Werner from 2004. It is the 255th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 and the 25th case for the Halle inspectors Schmücke and Schneider .
action
After a house explodes in Dedelitz, the fire department finds a body in the basement. Schmücke and Schneider take over the investigation. According to the neighbors, it is Stefanie Wolter, who actually wanted to travel with her husband.
The gas explosion was caused by the defective heating, which was last serviced by the plumber Bernd Grande and who lives in the neighborhood. After the autopsy, however, it is clear that the woman did not die from the explosion, but was killed beforehand. The husband cannot be found at first, but can then be found in his hunting ground on the Süßen See . Since his marriage was not going well and according to the marriage contract he would not receive anything in the event of a divorce , that would be a motive. But since there is a daughter from the victim's first marriage, Wolters goes almost empty-handed after the death of his wife.
A cell phone found in front of the house leads to Martin Sander, who is not found in his apartment. He has a previous criminal record of burglary and there is evidence that he intended to break into the Wolters' house this weekend. The last conversation that was made with Sander's cell phone was with Erik Vesper, the village Casanova of Dedelitz. This is observed by Schmücke and Schneider , as they hope to find Sander through him. This is successful and the wanted person can be taken into police custody. He claims to have triggered the explosion after pressing the doorbell to make sure someone wasn't home after all.
At this point, however, Stefanie Wolter was already dead and it seems unlikely to the commissioners that Sander, if he had killed Stefanie Wolter because she caught him breaking in, would expose himself to the danger again in order to ignite the explosion himself. Sander says he saw a blue van behind the house. This hint leads to Wolter's neighbor Bernd Grande, who drives such a delivery van and, strangely enough, has just changed the tires so that forensics can no longer compare the tire profile. After Schmücke learns that Grande and his wife, who died a few days ago, lived two years ago in the house that now belongs to the Wolters, he pricks up the ears. Ms. Grande had been depressed since losing her parents' home and recently hanged herself , after all , she was born in the house.
As a neighbor, Grande knew that the Wolters would be away on the weekend and he wanted to use this to blow up the house. He manipulated the gas pipe and ordered a bouquet of roses from a flower shop, which a messenger was supposed to bring and which would have had to ring, which would have triggered the explosion. But since Stefanie Wolter had not gone away, she caught Grande doing his plan, who then knocked her down, which ended unplanned fatally.
Commissioner Schmücke is happy to have solved another case, but things are not going very well for him privately. His partner, Edith Reger, kicked him out and now he lives with his colleague Schneider until he finds something suitable.

criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv rates this police call as average and says: “'Rosentod' is a typical case for jewelry and tailors. A lot of footwork and interpersonal relationships, a lot of talk, little action. 'We are rural and moral,' says Schwarz, 'we don't shoot as much and cars don't fly through the air every two minutes.' ' Case and milieu manageable, the tension factor low. "
The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm gave it a medium rating (thumbs to the side) and wrote: "Until the flowers in the title provide enlightenment, it remains confusing." And came up with an overall conclusion: "Shuffle with a hammered finale".
