action

The pupils Viktoria and Max drown their classmate Stephan in the indoor pool of the elite boarding school Schloss Hamberg, which is enthroned over the shores of Lake Constance . He had threatened to betray an illegal stock deal with which Viktoria, who came from a humble background, wanted to secure her career planning. Although the act is cleverly disguised as a suicide, a button on the bedclothes in which Stephan was wrapped brings Commissioner Klara Blum on the trail of the murder. Together with her colleague Perlmann, she investigates among the mostly wealthy students. In addition, she has to write an assessment, on which Perlmann's possible promotion to chief inspector depends. Investigators find out that student Kevin Hausmann obtained the illegal drugs that sedated Stephan. When their confidante Olga, the daughter of a Russian billionaire, gets nervous, Max and Viktoria try to drown her while ice skating in a frozen pond. Perlmann and Blum arrive in time to pull Olga out of the water alive. Max and Viktoria then administer insulin to Olga, who is in a coma, in the hospital in order to kill her, but Klara Blum finds out about them and is able to convict Stephan's murderer with a feint while Olga is saved.

reception

When it was first broadcast on February 22, 2009, the film reached 7.93 million viewers and a market share of 22.3 percent in Germany. In the viewer ranking of the website Tatort-Fundus , Herz aus Eis is the best rated episode of the Constance investigator Klara Blum and in December 2012 it was tenth among more than 850 episodes of Tatort.

Christian Buß called the film on taz.de a “highly topical contribution” and contrasted it with the book Praise of Discipline by Bernhard Bueb , the former director of the Schloss Salem boarding school on Lake Constance . The film countered this with "a freezing cold swan song for careerism". While Buß found borrowings in the US boarding school thriller Eiskalte Engel , Heike Hupertz from FAZ.NET compared the “above average” SWR crime scene with the literary model of the US film, the novel Dangerous Liaisons . She praised the "stylish direction" and the "impressive [e] [...] cast of the three young leading roles". In addition to Rosalie Thomass as the nervous Russian billionaire daughter and Florian Bartholomäi as Narcissus, Nora von Waldstätten rules the film as the “beautiful, freezing cold ice queen”. Der Spiegel called Nora von Waldstätten “really outstanding [...] as an ice-cold student beast. Then Lake Constance freezes. "

Due to repeated advantageous settings with Mercedes-Benz cars, there were allegations of surreptitious advertising after the broadcast , which both the SWR and Mercedes-Benz denied. The criticism came from the Chairman of the Commission for Licensing and Supervision (ZAK), Thomas Langheinrich , among others . SWR director Peter Boudgoust spoke of legally permissible production assistance from Mercedes-Benz.
