action
Chief Inspector Klara Blum and her assistant Perlmann get caught in a traffic control and witness how a motorcyclist with a passenger breaks through the barrier. He escapes, holed up in an industrial park and engaged in a shootout with the police. The hooded shooter tries to get information about the whereabouts of an amount of money from his companion and has a photo given that shows the others with a young woman. When Klara Blum comes to the two of them in the hall at gunpoint, the helmet wearer uses his companion as a protective shield, shoots him and flees. Klara Blum is crushed because she could not prevent the murder in front of her eyes.
The man killed, Wolfram Seebeck, was a prisoner from the Singen prison and escaped only 14 days before his release date. He had been in prison for years because of the kidnapping of the hotelier's daughter Beate Gellert. On this day, Beate celebrates her wedding with the wealthy lawyer Hanno Brünner in Isny . Klara Blum drives from Singen to Isny to interview the bride. Brünner had taken the much younger wife out of his own son Antonio and is in an argument with him about it. Beate is also more unhappy than she shows herself in public. She evades Blum's question about the old kidnapping.
An injured man is found near the wedding party, and his description fits the fugitive murderer. But Klara Blum finds out that he must have gone to the wedding in his newest victim's black suit and left his motorcycle clothes behind. When she returns to the party, she learns that the traditional bride kidnapping has just taken place. Worried, she and Hanno Brünner chase Beates in his convertible. She celebrates unsuspectingly and exuberantly with her twelve kidnappers, of whom she doesn't know any other than Antonio. She tries to flee alone in an off-road vehicle, but four of the men, all in black suits, are hiding in it: Antonio, who still loves Beate, Markus, who always takes photos, Eddie and Üppe, the catering employee. They leave the car at a chairlift and, on Antonio's initiative, flee further into the Allgäu mountains. When they got to the top, the elevator mysteriously shorted out. Hanno Brünner can telephone Beate to warn of the murderer, who must be among her companions, then Antonio destroys her cell phone. Beate's distrust of the bride kidnappers grows. Eddie does not respond to her vague suggestion that he wants money from her.
Brünner and Blum find the off-road vehicle at the lift and use it for further pursuit in the mountains, but get stuck in the mud. Organizing the needed police reinforcements is proving difficult. From Brünner, who represented the accessory prosecution in the earlier kidnapping case, the commissioner learns that the ransom money paid by hotelier Gellert for his daughter at the time was far higher than known. She suspects that apart from Seebeck a second man or Beate herself were involved.
The kidnappers come to the remote mountain hut where Beate was allegedly held captive by Seebeck 4 ½ years ago. When it comes to board games, Üppe confesses that he regularly sneaks into family celebrations to make friends. In the meantime it has got dark. After Üppe is seen with the old photo showing Beate with Seebeck in a familiar pose in front of the same hut, she finds him murdered there. The others then tie up Eddie, where they find a gun. When Markus wants to confront Beate about her involvement in the old kidnapping, Antonio shoots him. Antonio then confesses to Beate that Seebeck let him in on a letter written from prison and puts her under pressure with her complicity.
In the meantime, Blum and Brünner have also reached the hut. There they find the injured Markus, whom Brno identifies as a journalist for a newspaper against which his office is suing. There is an open dispute over Beate between Brno and his son. Eddie, actually a former prison officer in which Seebeck was incarcerated, was able to free himself from the shackles and brought Beate to the wedding reception by force in the off-road vehicle. He wants to get the money she received from the earlier kidnapping. She claims to have secretly transferred it back to her father long ago. Klara Blum succeeds in following the two of them quickly on foot and with the help of a Unimog who happens to be passing in the middle of the deserted forest . She confronts Eddie, who threatens Beate with a knife, and shoots him while she is looking at the previous situation in which she could not prevent his murder of Seebeck.
At this moment, large numbers of other police officers arrived in Isny with Perlmann, who during the day supported the investigations from the Konstanz office and had just announced that he was leaving. He arrests Beate on suspicion of robbery and false testimony on oath after Hanno Brünner has confirmed his love for her. Klara Blum leaves the scene lonely.
background
production
The crime scene blood wedding was produced by SWR in collaboration with Maran Film . The responsible editors of the SWR were Ulrich Herrmann and Manfred Hattendorf.
23 days of shooting were planned between September 9 and October 13, 2008. The working title was The Most Beautiful Day in Life . The film was shot on Lake Constance , in the Allgäu and in Baden-Baden and the surrounding area. The shooting at the beginning of the film was filmed on the premises of the BWR wagon repair facility in Rastatt , the wedding celebration with 70 extras at Gut Neuhaus near Isny- Neutrauchburg . The motifs in the Black Forest near Baden-Baden included the Geroldsau waterfall with the nearby Bütthof inn and the 3753 district road between Geroldsau and Bühlertal , on which most of the street scenes take place during the bride's kidnapping. In the Allgäu Alps , filming took place at the Gunzesried chairlift , at Freibergsee near Oberstdorf and in an alpine hut near Oberstaufen .
publication
The first broadcast, originally scheduled for September 13, 2009, was postponed to November 2009 and then to September 19, 2010 due to a broadcast on the 2009 Bundestag election . On that day it was the most watched program in Germany with 8.26 million viewers and a market share of 23.5 percent.
The postponement of the broadcast date enabled a premiere as part of the television film competition at the Hamburg Film Festival on September 27, 2009. After that, the film was also shown on October 31 and November 1, 2009 in the competition for television films at the Biberach Film Festival .
Audio film
The audio description of the film produced by SWR was nominated for the German Audio Film Award in 2010 . The image descriptions are spoken by Nina West.
reception
The assessments of the critics ranged from “brilliantly staged and highly exciting” to Patrick Winczewski's “worst crime story so far”.
Criticized were a “pretty implausible scenario with even more implausible characters”, “logic holes”, an unnecessarily overloaded framework story and the attempt to create “depth about worldly wise sayings”, which “we say when it's not life but television ".
The FAZ praises the fact that the crime scene “does not have to serve as an illustration forum for social problems”. The pure tension game goes so well, despite a few unlikely action elements, "that almost until the end you have to puzzles with horror, who is sick of the beautiful Beate, even wants to live and why."
In July 2020, in the audience ranking of the Tatort Fundus website , Blood Wedding ranked among the almost 1150 Tatort episodes in the area of 610th place.
