National feminine is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The contribution produced by Norddeutscher Rundfunk is the 1130th Tatort episode and was broadcast on April 26, 2020 in the program Das Erste . Chief Detective Charlotte Lindholm is investigating her 28th case.
action
The law student Marie Jäger is found in the Göttingen city forest with her throat cut. The law student questioned modern feminism in her successful blog “National Feminine” and mixed the “task of German women” with right-wing extremist ideas. At the scene of the crime, a young man on a bicycle makes himself suspicious. Marie recently reported to the police that she had been chased by a stalker with black hair for some time.
Marie Jäger lived in a shared apartment belonging to the “Junge Movement” with right-wing extremists Felix Raue, Pauline Gebhardt and Sven Ulbrich. They assume that their friend has become a victim of immigrants and openly express their displeasure with the colored investigator Schmitz.
Lindholm and Schmitz find out that Marie Jäger is a student assistant to law professor Sophie Behrens, who is controversial because of her conservative views. On the day before the murder, Marie Jäger protected Professor Behrens from a paint bag attack during a panel discussion with Professor Noll. Behrens is about to become a judge at the Federal Constitutional Court. In the evening she celebrates this success with her wife, the attorney general and his wife. Behrens had called Marie several times later. In a survey by Lindholm the next day, Prof. Behrens denied that he knew Marie Jäger personally.
Meanwhile, Schmitz questions Professor Noll. He assumes that the paint bag assassin was not after Behrens at all, but that he should become the victim. He knows the young man because it is his son Jonas Merck, who has a very tense relationship with him. When Schmitz and the policeman Kunkel wanted to arrest Jonas Merck, he escaped into the underground car park and was hit by Kunkel and later died of serious injuries in the hospital.
The police investigations are going too slowly for the members of the “Young Movement” and so they disrupt a police press conference with a provocative action. When Lindholm and Schmitz want to arrest Felix Raue as one of the masterminds, he is suddenly attacked with a knife by a young, black-haired man who is the Hamburg student Tom Rebeck, with whom Marie wanted to start a new life and leave the country . Due to this failure of the police, the attorney general Lindholm and Schmitz withdrew the case and handed it over to the LKA. He releases the arrested right-wing extremists “as part of a de-escalation strategy”.
Disregarding the instructions, Lindholm visits Behrens at home that night. She admits that she fell in love with Marie Jäger. But Marie broke up with her and after a last meeting at the train station she had arranged to meet someone.
The police manage to decipher Marie's chat communication on her cell phone. The chat history shows that Felix, with whom Marie used to have a relationship, couldn't get over the fact that Marie wanted to have a relationship with a left-wing student from Hamburg, of all places. The "black-haired" Marie reported for stalking was Felix. He saw in her relationship with Tom a betrayal of her political work. That night he lured her into the forest, where he then murdered her.

Reviews
“This" crime scene "from Göttingen - which with its subplots about the private life of the police officers follows on from the science fiction armaments episode four weeks ago - largely avoids grimacing images. [...] Co-screenwriter Florian Oeller previously wrote the ARD docudrama " Die Grittenen " on the refugee crisis and before that, a disturbing Rostock "police call" about right-wing populists and right-wing communities in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The "crime scene" [...] does not quite come close to the intensity of the "police call". Some figures remain constructed, the investigators sometimes act toothless. "
"And yet this crime scene is just another, empty template from the" important topic dutifully taken up "category: Florian Oeller , Daniela Baumgärtl (book) and Franziska Buch (director) prefer to work with a hammer than with a file. The rhetoric of the right that Anaïs Schmitz ( Florence Kasumba ) is exposed to in the interrogations of members of the "Young Movement" is realistic enough; You don't have to over-dramatize anything about racist slogans, everyone has understood that. Only at the end of the film you feel strangely uncreatively torpedoed, as if the point was to draw attention to right-wing extremism in its mere copy in the fictional. "
