Waidmanns Heil is a television film from the crime series Tatort by ARD , ORF and SRF . The film was produced by MDR under the direction of Peter F. Bringmann and first broadcast on February 1, 2004. It is the crime scene episode 557. For the inspectors Ehrlicher and Kain it is the 34th joint case and the 13th case in which they investigate in Leipzig .
action
Real estate investor Lothar Sofsky loves the hunt. During such a duck hunt, a load of shot kills him fatally. The Commissioners Ehrlicher and Kain try to find out who the shooter could have been, which is not possible with shotgun pellets via the rifle used. Since someone subsequently took off the safety vest that each of the hunters wears for his safety, the investigators are likely to commit murder. The victim's wife accuses the hunting tenant Gernot Dietz, in whose riding stable her husband was involved. She knows that he wanted to "get out" there and also wanted to take over the hunting lease for the next lease season. But she was also not on good terms with her husband, as he had been enjoying himself with the young waitress Simone Körner for some time.
Only a few days later, Michael, Gernot Dietz's stepson, also dies. He was Simone Körner's secret friend and was shot at night on a high seat from 250 m away. Upon closer examination, it is clear that the shooter could not have seen his victim properly and possibly wanted to shoot someone else.
Ehrlicher and Cain look for possible connections. In doing so, they encounter differences between the brothers Gernot and Karsten Dietz that have existed since they were children. As the older of the two, Gernot inherited his father's farm and ten years ago he also took his wife from his younger brother. It is more honest that the shot was aimed at Gernot Dietz while hunting and Sofsky only accidentally got into the line of fire. After Karsten Dietz recently found out which trick his brother had used to bait “his” Maria, he had to hate him profoundly. The shot that hit Michael was also intended for Gernot Dietz, as his brother suspected it was on the high seat.
Since the commissioners are sure that Karsten Dietz was the shooter in both cases, they want to arrest him. However, Dietz is currently in the woods and wants to finally complete his campaign of revenge against his brother. Ehrlicher and Kain arrive just in time to save Gernot Dietz from a shot from his hunting rifle, which Karsten Dietz wanted to arrange as a suicide.
