Blaues Blut is a television film from the crime series Tatort by ARD and ORF . The film was produced by Norddeutscher Rundfunk under the direction of Helmut Förnbacher and first broadcast on January 9, 2000. It is the 433rd crime scene episode. For the chief detective Paul Stoever ( Manfred Krug ) it is the 38th case and for his colleague Peter Brockmöller ( Charles Brauer ) the 35th case in which he is investigating.

action

The Hamburg chief detective Stoever and Brockmöller investigate the murder of the young television journalist Anette Bille. Shortly before her death, she wanted to sell a show concept to the competition. The commissioners are wondering whether this is why the young woman had to leave her life so early. Her husband, Jochen Bille, says that his wife wanted to film a car park last night for her planned survival show. Stoever quickly finds out that the marriage was not going well, and Jochen Bille becomes entangled in contradictions. But Anette was the creative head in the company and her failure can hardly be replaced, which speaks against the husband as the perpetrator.

The commissioners also have to investigate in highly respected aristocratic circles. As the research shows, the murdered woman was the lover of Count Ehrenfried, a member of the noble family of those von Schönach and Ratau . When Stoever and Brockmöller visit him, he is deeply affected by the death of his loved one. He was looking forward to their child, because Anette Bille was three months pregnant. He also wanted to leave his wife and start a new life with Anette Bille. According to the internal succession of those of Schönach and Ratau , the head of the family Sigbert had designated his grandson Ferdinand as heir, which could have changed with a child of his uncle. Before they can deal with the young man, however, the old Count Sigbert himself comes under suspicion after the investigators find out that he has a National Socialist past and that Anette Bille had researched this as part of her journalistic work. Had the authorities found out, the return of family art treasures that had been in state administration since the end of the war would have been jeopardized.

After the investigators researched Ferdinand as the perpetrator, Ernst Günter Muller came under the investigators' sights. He recently joined the von Schönach and Ratau family and had bought himself the title of nobility. Poldi von Schönach und Ratau adopted him so that she could have money for her nephew Ferdinand. She wanted to give the talented violinist a Stradivarius , but her fortune was insufficient. The new count dreams of turning the castle into a classy golf hotel. When he unexpectedly met Anette Bille with the von Schönach and Rataus and he was once friends with her, he had to fear that she might reveal to the noble family that he has a very inglorious and criminal past. With a trick, the inspectors can persuade Count Ernst Günter to make an involuntary confession and arrest him.

background

In a guest role, Rudolph Moshammer plays the lawyer Doctor Bechtel, who legally represents the Countess (Aunt Poldi).

The musical contribution of the leisure music duo Stoever-Brockmöller takes place in this episode on the occasion of the police festival with the song Can because love be sin by Zarah Leander .

The endangerment of the return of family art treasures mentioned in the film relates to the Compensation and Compensation Act ( EALG ) passed by the Bundestag in September 1994 . The Compensation Act resolved in Article 2 of this Cover Act regulates in Section 2 Paragraph 4 that no compensation will be granted if the expropriated “has given the National Socialist [...] system [...] considerable support."
