action

In a forest near Münster, a skeleton with a lead bullet in its skull is found, which comes from a historical weapon. The body can be identified as Raimund Stielicke, who allegedly disappeared ten years ago on a trip to Italy . Raimund is the son of Professor Walter Stielicke, a cardiologist at the Münster Clinic. Like Raimund, the professor is a member of the Corps Pomerania-Guestphalia , one of four major student associations in Münster. Thiel is amazed to find that Boerne is also an old man of this striking connection. Raimund's brother Karsten, on the other hand, is one of the Rhenans in Münster. One of Raimund's student friends was the later journalist Gregor Baltus, who greeted Boerne at the site of the skeleton.

After many years, Boerne gets its color from a cellar box. His corps' foundation festival is coming up, and he wants to take part in it undetected. Wilhelmine Klemm also appears at the party - she is a former school friend of Professor Stielicke. The, once PhD supervisor of Boerne, holds out the prospect of the lucrative position as head of forensic medicine at the Berlin Charité . Baltus gives Boerne a photo that shows him as a member of the Hanauer Kreis , a splinter group among the connections. This group did not adhere to the rules of association, carried out forbidden duels with sabers and a bare upper body and suffered serious injuries. The photo shows Boerne spattered with blood with a saber in his hand. Baltus suggests that there are more photos of him. Baltus disappeared shortly afterwards. Thiel finds a large blood stain in his apartment. Research shows that Baltus' landlord is Professor Stielicke, who asked for a remarkably low rent. In addition, ten years ago the professor sold an almost new car, supposedly a total write-off, to Baltus for only 500  marks . Other things also fall back ten or eleven years ago: Stielicke's son Karsten married his wife Clara, and Clara's mother, who was unemployed for a long time, got a job at the Münster clinic. Thiel suspects that the professor let his connections play everywhere. His influence goes even further: although Karsten was a failure in his studies, he now works for Wilhelmine Klemm as a public prosecutor. When Thiel continues his research, his father, who is lying in the Münster Clinic with heart problems, is unexpectedly transferred to a luxurious single room and receives privileged treatment ordered by Professor Stielicke. The attending physician Leon Strobel is a member of the Rhenania and despite the poor study results, he is von Stielecke's assistant physician. Thiel makes it clear to Stielicke that he cannot be bribed. Shortly afterwards, Herbert Thiel was moved back to a shared room.

Thiel does not have an easy time of his investigation, as Wilhelmine Klemm and Boerne protect themselves in front of the Stielicke family. Boerne is blackmailed by the professor. He is not only attracted by the position offered at the Charité. Stielicke reminds Boerne of Guido Leppert, who was admitted to the Münster clinic as an emergency 13 years ago with a severe blow. Boerne had inflicted the wound on him in an illegal duel between the Hanauer Kreis and had stayed away from the corp house since that time . Meanwhile, Thiel finds not only a large sum of money in Baltus' locker in the corp house, but also a CD with photos of the Hanauer Kreis . These show Boerne spattered with blood, but also Raimund with his brother, as well as Baltus and Leon Strobel, each with a pistol in hand. Wilhelmine Klemm does not approve of the discovery because of the illegal acquisition, but Thiel now distrusts Boerne and instructs Alberich to examine Baltus' car. With black light on the back seat, she can make a large amount of blood visible that she can attribute to Raimund and that comes from the time when the car still belonged to Professor Stielicke.

Meanwhile, Baltus is found shot dead. In his hand he is holding a gun from the 1970s, which he cannot have fired himself. Thiel continues to research the murder of Baltus and can finally clarify the case: Clara had an affair with Raimund when she was already in a relationship with Karsten and he became pregnant. When he was pronounced dead, she married Karsten and their son Finn grew up as Karsten's child. Baltus knew about it and had been silent all these years because of the financial donations from the Stielicke family. But since he last had terminal cancer, he wanted Finn to know who his real father was before he died. Clara's mother Friede Timme, who did not want to endanger Clara's marriage and thus her social advancement, therefore shot her deceased husband's death with a gun.

Meanwhile, Boerne believes he can explain Raimund's death. At the foundation ball of his corps, he appears at the Stielickes table and reconstructs the course of events at that time. There was a dispute between Raimund and Karsten about Clara and a pistol duel was demanded . The seconds were Baltus and Strobel. Raimund was killed in the duel. His body was transported in Professor Stielicke's car and buried in the forest. Stielicke covered his son Karsten, had the car cleaned and later sold to Baltus, who was immobilized by further cash benefits. Karsten is outraged by Boerne's revelations and challenges him to the scale .

This takes place the next morning in the corp house, but after a hit Karsten lets himself be tempted to speak against the comment , which leads to the abortion of the scale. Karsten admits that, as a fox at the time, he shouldn't have been allowed to duel with the Hanauers either, so Strobel took his place in the pistol duel. Boerne notes that the first shot was actually fired by Strobel, which only grazed Raimund's lower jaw. Karsten then reloaded the gun out of hatred for his increasingly successful brother and shot Raimund. Karsten knocks Boerne down with his bat and tries to kill himself with a pistol in the next room when Professor Stielicke appears and insults his son as a coward. Thereupon Karsten puts on his father, but Thiel intervenes and arrests Karsten.

Finally, Boerne von Alberich is sewn with several stitches, but admits that the length was "kind of great". He packs his color back in the cellar and declares that he will not accept the position at the Berlin Charité, and also initially refuses to drink beer with Thiel because he actually does not like beer.

criticism

"As always pretty on the edge of the grotesque," said the TV Spielfilm . The star wrote that the crime scene “is opulent [...] with its medieval look and symbolism. But occasionally one could have let the power of the images speak for itself. Far too often there is talk of tradition, loyalty, one or the other clichéd dialogue could have been deleted. "

Especially in comparison with the Tatort episode Quartet in Leipzig from 2000, the connection mileu is not presented entirely clichéd. The representation of the scale sequence is considered to be comparatively authentic for a television production, but it is heavily exaggerated.
