action
Forest workers discover the remains of the corpse of a woman in the Wolbeck Forest that has been there for a number of years. According to the autopsy, the deceased is the dancer Elmira Dumbrowa, who disappeared without a trace two years ago. The investigative work therefore initially focuses on Elmira's dance school, in which Boerne and Klemm dance the tango together. Elmira's roommate Marie as well as Jonas, who fell in love with Elmira, cannot believe that the young Moldovan is dead. The orthopedist and club president Dr. Winfried Steul and the dance trainer Andreas Roth move into the inner circle of suspects. Both would be more than happy if the murder were not discussed any further because an important competition is pending, which could open the door to the top class of dance for the dance formation. But this is in danger after fellow dancer Jonas is found dead.
When a severed male foot is found near the crime scene, the question arises whether it was a double murder. The question is resolved when Inspector Thiel finds out that Andreas Roth is missing a lower leg. In the end, the coach admits that he was to blame for Elmira Dumbrowa's death. At the time she was raped by a fellow dancer after a dance party, which she wanted to report. To protect the guilty party, Roth wanted to talk to her and drove a motorcycle after her into the forest. There was an argument, Elmira fell and hit her head against a stone. In a panic, Roth raced down the forest path, overlooked an iron bar and tore off his foot on it.
Jonas had helped him take care of the torn off foot and now, after finding the corpse, figured it all together. The evidence has not yet been secured, but Boerne and Thiel are sure that they will convict Roth for this murder as well.
background
  Filming and performance locations other filming locations |
The working title of the episode was athlete's foot . The film was shot in different locations in Münster and Cologne . Filming began on November 4, 2015 and ended on December 4, 2015. The scenes surrounding the award ceremony, at which Haller was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit, were shot on November 16, 2015 in and in front of the Erbdrostenhof . The shooting of the scenes of the dance competition was recorded in the Sartory halls in Cologne. These scenes were created with the help of around 160 extras. The exterior shots, on the other hand, show the town hall at Fritz-Gressard-Platz in Hilden . The chase to the gas station shows the Prinzipalmarkt and the cathedral square of the city of Münster. The scene at the petrol station was shot on December 3, 2015 with around 40 people on half a day's shooting on Kölner Strasse in Weilerswist , because the street "with the clinker-brick houses could also be in the vicinity of Münster," explained production manager Marion Sand. Before that, recordings were made in a dance school in Brühl . The dancers of Brühler TV 1879 and RTC Witten, who are named in the credits of the episode, could be won over for the dance scenes .
Thomas Jauch already directed the episode Murder is the Best Medicine . He had "repeatedly expressed the desire to make a dance film once", which he now succeeded in doing with the Münster Tatort after the Tanzmariechen in Cologne, shot in 2015 . "The difficult task was to" integrate "four actors into a twelve-person dance formation in such a way that the audience has the impression that the four actors have always been part of it," explained Jauch. "We only had about 20 hours of training available and of course we cast actors with basic dance skills", because "all of the actors' dance scenes are original - nobody was doubled." The dance scenes were filmed with up to three cameras at the same time.
Immediately before the start of the first broadcast, the ARD's new Tatort app was advertised for the first time , which in addition to the four-week retrieval of the Tatort episode from the ARD media library , the provision of various service content and the display of Twitter messages related to the crime scene to the viewer enables participation in the investigation on the second screen parallel to the broadcast on television. For the first broadcast of the episode, Brühler TV 1879 hosted a public viewing in the dance sports center in Brühl, where the episode could be seen on a large screen.
Mechthild Großmann has been part of the ensemble of the Wuppertal dance theater Pina Bausch since 1976 . However, she has never practiced professional ballroom dance competitions.
As a result, the role of Silke Haller played by Christine Urspruch was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit. In fact, her fellow actor Jan Josef Liefers was awarded the Cross of Merit on Ribbon of the Federal Republic of Germany for social commitment in 2011 .
Maximilian von Pufendorf was already seen in 2003 in the episode three black cats from the Münster crime scene.
The episode opens with the music track Footloose by Kenny Loggins from the soundtrack of the 1984 film of the same name . This should be understood as an allusion to the role of the dance teacher Andreas Roth, who lost a foot in a traffic accident. The song can be heard several times in the course of the episode. Klemm and Boerne dance to La Cumparsita ( Orquesta Típica , Buenos Aires ) in their first dance lesson . When Herbert Thiel reached the crime scene in the forest in his taxi, Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze from 1967 can be heard on the car radio . The dance ensemble, which can be seen before the performance of the dance formation led by Andreas Roth, dances to Rise Like a Phoenix , with which Conchita Wurst won the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 . The dance with Boerne, referred to by Haller as “Kriminaltango”, is accompanied by the sounds of Hernando's Hideaway , a tango that was written in 1954 for the musical The Pajama Game , in the version of the tango orchestra Alfred home . Immediately before the credits, a video can be seen that shows Boerne dancing in the dressing room of the dance studio to I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor from 1978, which the press compared to John Travolta's appearance on Saturday Night Fever .
Dr. Steul are called Ginger and Fred, which is to be understood as an allusion to the famous dancing couple Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire (and also the 1986 film Ginger and Fred ). Multiple is on the television show Knowledge Makes Ah! of the WDR , while Marie Ade's bed is referred to as the cemetery of cuddly toys .
Boerne drives a Maserati Ghibli (Tipo M157) with 410 hp.

criticism
The star critic Carsten Heidböhmer judges rather negatively, this episode is "one of the weaker" crime scene "episodes from Münster. The case is insignificant, and this time it isn't made up for by a firework of punchlines. The whole team seems a little listless. ” Nevertheless, it is “ still enough for a reasonably entertaining evening on TV ” , although “ Thiel and Boerne are out of shape ” .
Katharina Riehl, critic of the Süddeutsche Zeitung , can't get much positive out of the episode either: “In the meantime, however, the silly jerking between coroner snob Boerne (...) and the plump inspector (...) weighs heavily on every script. The joke has long since become a duty from the freestyle in Münster. ” Both the “ cheerful subplot ” , which “ is always nailed to the story with all possible force ” , and predictable coincidences such as the bone discovery by Thiel's father: “ It's like in In the nineties at the Bullen von Tölz, it was always mom who, quite by chance, served her son with the crucial information with the roast pork ” .
With the episode “the Münster crime scene is finally picking up on its prime,” says Detlef Hartlap , editor-in-chief of prisma . The team around Thiel and Boerne can be seen in "top form" , "they haven't been that good for a long time" . "The film soars to the tango rhythm to the higher dumbness that we loved about Thiel / Boerne before they became shallow and shallow for five episodes," says Hartlap happily and remembers, "you had almost forgotten how good they used to be ” . Hartlap sums up, the episode goes "back to the roots" , whereby it is "a lustfully played fun crime thriller with serious perpetrator guesswork" .
Petra Noppeney from the Westfälische Nachrichten called the episode “relatively free of junk” , which “this time surprised the audience over a large area with a very balanced ratio of thriller and joke” . The plot "sounds adventurous" , but only at first glance, because "it turned into an exciting case that had other backgrounds than jealousy" . Max von Pufendorf in particular "was convincing as a qualified trainer who had big plans for his professional dancers and forcibly ended the disturbance by an ex-dancer" , but also Thomas Heinze "as the snotty club president and white coat wearer who gallantly cuddled a juror" was " wonderful ” to look at. It was like an “appendix” , “but it was beautiful, the“ criminal tango ”by Professor Boerne and Alberich at the end,” concluded Noppeney.

At social.ard.de, viewers were able to exchange content about the episode parallel to the first broadcast. It was called for an evaluation of the result in school grades. The audience gave an average rating of 2.08 out of 475 votes.
Several comments on the debate of the Münster hamlet Wolbeck were read on social.ard.de, including "Wooolbeck or correctly but Wolbeck with short O?" And the question "When will learn finally how Wolbeck is pronounced correctly ???" Next was noted, "The correct pronunciation should be practiced at least since episode 851" , because the episode Das Wunder von Wolbeck made headlines before it was first broadcast in November 2012 that a spelling mistake had crept into the TV advertising trailer of the ARD , which incorrectly called the district "Wohlbeck" showed what was also taken over by film reviews.
"The reality of the #Tatort is particularly noticeable in the very Westphalian pronunciation of Wolbeck," read on Twitter . Wolbeck's district mayor Rolf Schönlau took the linguistic faux pas calmly and in an interview with Antenne Münster let it be known that the Tatort producers were apparently “well-disposed” to the district .
