action
The professional footballer Kevin Faber from Hannover 96 is facing a great career. But he has received anonymous death threats since he spoke out in a TV interview for a stadium ban against hooligans . After a game he gives an autograph to Commissioner Charlotte Lindholm, who is present with her son. On the same evening he was found murdered at the Maschsee . In her investigation, Lindholm immediately targets the hooligan scene in Hannover 96. But Faber's teammate and best friend, Ben Nenbrook, also seems to have something to hide. Faber's advisor and surrogate father, Leo Biller, had apparently already made a contract with Inter Milan for his protégé and is also shocked by the violent death of the hopeful talent.
Lindholm can track down a certain "seal" through a hooligan chat room . This turns out to be the journalist Jan Liebermann, who is covertly researching the hooligan scene. A romance is developing between him and Lindholm. Meanwhile, Lindholm discovers the secret of Ben Nenbrook: He is homosexual and his partner is the antique dealer Jochen Kramer, who was also briefly among the suspects because his car was near the crime scene and he said he was drunk and himself not being able to remember anything.
The hooligan, who calls himself "director" and who openly called for the murder of Faber in the chat, can also be identified. In the end it turns out that the "director" and another hooligan were actually at the scene. At this point, however, Faber was already dying, because his advisor Biller had hit his head with a stone, because he had told him that he wanted to part with him and manage himself in the future. The hooligans had kicked the dying man and filmed it. Ben Nenbrook openly confesses his homosexuality at a press conference, and the next game the fans greet him with cheering applause instead of screams.
background
Among other things , the shooting took place at the original locations in the AWD-Arena in Hannover 96. On November 20, 2010, shooting took place during the Bundesliga game between Hannover 96 and Hamburger SV , which was attended by 49,000 spectators . In the run-up, there had been criticism of Hanover as the location of a crime thriller on the subject of football because national goalkeeper Robert Enke, who had committed suicide a year earlier, played there. According to some reports, the idea of filming a crime scene about homosexual football professionals should come from DFB President Theo Zwanziger . It is documented that Zwanziger suggested a crime scene ( Tatort: Im Abseits ) on the subject of women's football on the occasion of the 2011 Women's World Cup , which was filmed in November 2010 with investigator Lena Odenthal from SWR and made a guest appearance at the Zwanziger itself.
In the film, the presenter , journalist and stadium announcer Arnd Zeigler plays a football reporter and stadium announcer in a short guest appearance.

Reviews
The reviews were different:
Christian Buss compared the crime scene in Spiegel Online with the Bremen crime scene episode Endspiel from 2002 by Ciro Capellari, "in which the issues of homophobia, racism and economic exploitation in the lower regions of German football were examined very cleverly". Homophobia and hooliganism would now be brought together in murder in the first division , which from the "point of view of a sports official like Theo Zwanziger" appears to be insanely critical, but "the destructive currents of power within football culture [...] are not really" revealed.
Ulrike Klode, on the other hand, called the crime scene “completely successful” in Stern.de and praised the screenplay by Harald Göckeritz. It is "good and has many surprising twists ready. The pictures also contribute to the fact that this crime scene is an exciting pleasure. ”The makers“ did not make it easy ”:“ To tell the story of a murder of a Hannover 96 player and the topics of 'homosexuality in professional football', Treating 'hooligan violence' and 'managers who are foster fathers at the same time' could very easily have gone wrong. " of disappointed love. "
