Black Heart is a television film from the crime series Tatort of ARD and ORF . The film was produced by Norddeutscher Rundfunk and first broadcast on television on January 22, 2006. It is the crime scene episode 621. Chief Detective Charlotte Lindholm ( Maria Furtwängler ) from the LKA Hanover does not have an easy time in her eighth case, as she is still suffering from the loss of her friend Tobias Endres. It's about the murder of two women, which is not as clear to them as the local police officer thinks he knows.
action
When the blood-smeared VW bus belonging to farmer Holger Schatz is found in a small town in the Stade district and his wife Simone has disappeared, Chief Detective Charlotte Lindholm, who is supposed to clarify the case, first takes Schatz into custody. The local police officer Markus Dunker thinks this is a mistake. The inspector also learns from him that Schatz met his wife through a personal ad and that she was still there the evening before when Holger was laid on the couch in his residence, where he was supposed to sleep off his intoxication. Shortly afterwards, the farmer's hunting dog is found in the garden with its throat cut. Lindholm interrogates treasure, who is uncomprehending about where his wife should have gone, when asked if she wanted to leave him. She wouldn't have had anyone. Opposite Dunker, who insists that he thinks Schatz is innocent, Lindholm sticks to her statement that Schatz knows that Simone is dead.
Lindholm rents a room at the local inn where time seems to have stood still. There the inspector meets the cook Benno, who is introduced to her by the landlady Rita. He says that Holger Schatz is a very good friend of his and goes on to say that his friend only told him yesterday that his wife wanted to leave him and get a divorce. He said he'd rather kill her before leaving her house and yard.
That night, too, Lindholm finds it difficult to get a little sleep, the tragic death of her friend Tobias Endres weighs too heavily on her. She tries to make ends meet with alcohol and pills. The next morning she speaks to the local vet, Dr. Kehl, who has a smug manner. He tells her that he has often been on the hunt with Schatz and says the beautiful sentence: “The energy of the near abyss floats in every shot,” which Lindholm follows. When asked about the relationship between Schatz and his wife, he says that his wife was actually not there for him. When Jan Rohde, Benno's younger brother, finds Simone's chain near the Netzweiher, Lindholm orders a search of the lake, which releases the body of Simone Schatz. She was tied up with zip ties and was shot in the head. The inspector expels the protesting Dunker from the room and wants to speak to the young man alone, who is considered an eccentric. He says that he danced with Simone, every night, the day before yesterday, yesterday and tonight he will dance with her again. Then he declares a very nice text on which the Commissioner closes her eyes and struggles not to be overwhelmed by her feelings. When he has finished, he asks Lindholm if someone has ever been killed by their love. The Commissioner is agitated and only manages to stay on duty with great self-control.
On the same day, Lindholm had another conversation with Eva Rohde, Benno's wife. She runs a nursing service and says that it was not long ago that Simone took her into her confidence and told her that Holger beat her regularly and that she was afraid for her life. She had to promise Simone not to talk to anyone about it because she was ashamed. The other day, Lindholm just hears Schatz again and attacks him violently, the message comes in that another corpse has been found - the same pattern as with Simone Schatz. This black lump that Simone already had in her mouth was also found on her. When Lindholm rushes to the site, she recognizes Eva Rohde in the dead woman. Dunker confronts her almost triumphantly and asks the rhetorical question whether she finally believes that she can forget Holger Schatz as the perpetrator. It is found out that Jan Rohde secretly prepared animals, and there they find the same black balls that were found in the mouth of the dead.
In a conversation that Lindholm had with her superior Dr. Richard Poll, leads her, learns that Dunker has complained about her and her approach. He wants to know whether it has really been restored to the point where it can do its job, which it says in the affirmative. In contrast to Dunker, she still doesn't believe that Jan Rohde has anything to do with the murders.
Back in the village, Dunker explains in a conversation that no one in the village would do something like that when Lindholm said the women must have known the perpetrator. Now it becomes clear what the black balls are all about. It is poison bait that Jan received from Kehl and used for his animal traps. When you want to question Kehl, his house is empty. The police radio is set and in the car parked in front of the house you can find the murder weapon, treasure's hunting rifle, the cable ties and the poison bait strung like a string. For Dunker the case is clear, Lindholm, on the other hand, is of the opinion that everything is far too obvious, since he could have left a business card with the corpses. Nevertheless, the Commissioner is being withdrawn from the case. From Poll, she wants to know if that is because Dunker complained about the slap she gave him and learns that he probably sniffed around in her car and saw the various pill packs and passed it on. Lindholm slams her badge on the table and runs away. After she has raced a good distance down the country road in her car, she fully applies the brakes, gets out and kicks her car desperately. It starts raining heavily as she runs away.
Kehl's body has meanwhile been found on the bank of the pond. It looks like suicide. Charlotte has come back and is investigating further. She knocks on Jan and can take a look at Eva Rohde's schedule. A call to the coroner confirmed that the young woman was pregnant. Her husband, Benno, was, however, unable to reproduce. When the Commissioner meets Dunker, who expresses his surprise that she is still there, he says jovially: “The case has been solved. I did your job, dear girl. You can go."
Lindholm goes to Holger Schatz again, who is about to bury his dog with his friend Benno Rohde. She asks to take another look at Simone's room. Once there, she confronts him with the fact that she is convinced that he killed his wife because she wanted to leave him. After all, you never leave a Holger Schatz. Rohde joins them and now it becomes clear that both of them also have Eva on their conscience. Eva had a relationship with the vet and Rohde was convinced that she would leave him. Under Rohde's leadership, the plan arose to get rid of both women in order to pretend that one was dealing with a serial offender. When that didn't work out as planned, Kehl was supposed to be the culprit. The two men drag the inspector into a wooded area and hold a gun to her head. When the Commissioner has already finished her life and says they should finally shoot, help is coming at the last minute. The friends are arrested and taken away.
Production and Background
The shooting began on May 31st and ended on June 30th, 2005. The shooting took place in Hanover , Lüneburg , Stade and the surrounding area. It is a Norddeutscher Rundfunk production, produced by Studio Hamburg.
The commissioner's private life: Martin Felser, Charlotte's friend and roommate, is very concerned about her in this episode. With the help of tablets, Charlotte tries to cope with the death of her friend Tobias Endres (previous episode). She also tries to exhaust herself physically in such a way that she is too tired to think. Charlotte's mother Annemarie tells him that she was already like that as a child when he worriedly tries to talk to her. First of all, Charlotte would have to deal everything with herself. Of course, she knows how much her daughter loved Tobias and how deep the pain is: “To mourn means to walk over thin ice, you leave the bank, collapse, sink - you will die a little yourself. You have to be ready to let go in order to arrive at the other side. "Martin's reply:" But who should help her if she doesn't know what to do out there? "Martin has prepared everything for Charlotte's upcoming birthday, but receives a call that she was able to work again and was on her way to a case. When Annemarie Lindholm can no longer reach her daughter via cell phone and the call comes from Hanover that she has been suspended in the current case, she tells Martin that she has a very strange feeling. Then Martin: “I'm going there. Immediately. ”At the end, both of them are there and have brought the scooter, which was lovingly restored as a birthday present, and Charlotte's first own vehicle.
Jan Rohde almost makes Charlotte cry with the following lines, which were written by the screenwriter Fabian Thaesler: “If death takes your breath away too, he can't get our love, your path leads far into darkness, our love stays in the light, plunging Ravines also in depths, love stretches its path and knows no heart, even its times, but love remains eternity.

criticism
TV Spielfilm pointed the thumbs up, gave one of three points for action, two for tension and judged: “A commissioner on the verge of a nervous breakdown gives this crime scene additional tension.” Conclusion: “Strong: A woman wrestles with herself. "
Oddsmeter.de was of the opinion that it really couldn't be more exciting . “'Black Heart' [was] one of the best 'Tatort' films. The latest case from investigator Charlotte Lindholm [bribe] with authentic people and a logically structured storyline. The climax of the thriller [is] without a doubt the surprising ending. ”About the main actress Maria Furtwängler it was said:“ As always, she succeeds in realizing the role of Charlotte Lindholm fantastically. This time she also shows herself from a different, vulnerable side. ”The final verdict was then:“ Everything is right at this 'crime scene': the actors, music, books and the tracking shots are perfect. ”
Frank Kober from telekritik referred to Lindholms mental state after the violent death of her boyfriend in the previous episode and was of the opinion that director Thomas Jauch would do well not to "turn the shrink out to us the inside of his heroine". It was “great”, “how he continued to mark Lindholm as a tough criminalist and only let her desolate state shine through in small episodes and gestures. That makes them and the whole story [...] believable. "
The Berliner Morgenpost read: "Maria Furtwängler is more vulnerable than ever in the outstanding 'Tatort: Schwarzes Herz', in which she has to solve an almost 'perfect' crime."
