Tod auf der Walz is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The report produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk was first broadcast on November 6, 2005 on ARD's first program. In their 41st case, the Commissioners Batic, Leitmayr and Menzinger have to do with the murder of two craft boys who were on the waltz. They have to immerse themselves in an environment that is foreign to them and deal with rites and a language that is not theirs.

action

The journeyman craftsman Mario Leitgeb is bid farewell to his mother and uncle. He and his older friend Gerry Neuner go on the rolling . They find work with the building contractor Pirner, whom Gerry considers to be a people flayer, which is why, unlike Mario, he only stays for a short time. At the hostel father Koidl, the young man should then be accepted into the community of the "Typing Brothers Hoffnungsschacht". Vadder Koidl hands Mario a letter from Franziska Brandl, with whom Mario is secretly in love. Franzi, as she is called, is also on the roll. She belongs to the "free travelers". When she arrives shortly afterwards, Mario's joy is short-lived. She doesn't hug him hard, but his friend Gerry, who is also with Koidl. At the reunion party that followed, it was difficult for Mario not to show his jealousy.

The next morning, Chief Detective Batic and Leitmayr and their colleague, Chief Inspector Menzinger, are called to Großhesseloher Bridge , where a dead person has been found. It quickly becomes clear that he was only brought there and thrown down after his death. It's Mario Leitgeb. A broken neck caused by a blow is the cause of his death. He also has a severe bite wound. The commissioners question Vadder Koidl, who says that he left the party at around 3 p.m. and that when he returned around 10 p.m. no one was there. The autopsy shows that the fall injuries only came two hours after Mario's death and that the bite wound must have come from a rather small dog.

In an interview with Anny Leitgeb, Mario's mother, the commissioners learned that their son had been in love with Franzi for a long time and that he always took everything so hard. Marios uncle learned that Pirner has a small dog, a terrier , he like his eyeball hats and who was there with you. For further information, he recommends the officials to go to the restaurant at the "Alte Post". There they are talking about Franzi Brandl and that, like her mother, she is wearing the "curse mark". It was passed on to Franzi. Her mother drowned over the mountains, her little brother drowned and her father drunk himself to death. The inspectors also hear them talk about Herbert Ziemer, a weight lifter Franzi was married to, and what she made of him. They attribute a demonic influence to the young woman. When the inspectors ask the landlady about it, she only says how backwoods some are here.

In the meantime, the building contractor Pirner has a dispute with Koidl, the bastard stole his 11,000 euros, which he wants back. When Koidl pulls out a knife, he prefers to run away. Koidl not only gives Batic and Leitmayr a dictionary they wrote themselves on the terms of the Tippel brothers, but also the address of the job he arranged for Franzi and Gerry. Talking to both of them doesn’t reveal anything that will really advance the investigation. Gerry denounces Pirner as a nasty people flayer and he also illegally employs Poles. At the same time, the building contractor buries his little dog and promises that his killer will be buried soon and that he will also find the money that has disappeared, he won't give up.

At the construction site, Batic and Leitmayr learn from the Poles that they have made Mario's body disappear. The young man was already dead by then. They wanted the body away from the site because they wanted to avoid the trouble of illegal employment. When the inspectors asked Pirner about his dog, he said he had to put him down two weeks ago because he was so sick. Leitmayr decides to pretend to be a Tippelbrother in order to get better information. Old journeyman Popp, Koidl, Franzi and Gerry are inaugurated. At Vadder Koidl, the big party for the Tippelbrüder is on. Everyone will be there, hoping to find out why Mario died. During the festival, Franzi and Leitmayr talk animatedly when Heinzi and Beppo approach, who still do not know about Mario's death, as Gerry whispers to the inspector. Old journeyman Popp gives a debut speech and describes Koidl as the best hostel father far and wide. Then the Tippelbrothers make Koidl an honorary member. Heinz and Beppo tell that Pirner turned up and asked about Mario. They said he had moved on. It is questionable whether Pirner believed that. Shortly after this conversation, they dig up the dog's corpse and devastate Pirner's office. When Pirner discovered the devastated grave of his dog, tears welled up, his dog Batzi was the only thing he loved.

In the meantime it has been found out what really happened to the little dog. Mario threw him off the roof of the construction site because the dog was defending his master's briefcase with the money and biting down. Pirner, who has a strong motive, is arrested. But then another murder alarmed the commissioners. Gerry was killed with five stab wounds. Franzis Messer lies next to his corpse. Gerry was first drugged and then stabbed to death. At the very back of his closet, 11,000 euros are found. Franzi has disappeared. By calling, Batic and Leitmayr find out where the young woman is and follow her. She fell asleep peacefully next to Gerry, when she woke up in the morning, Gerry lay dead next to her and her knife next to it. Then Franzi tells that she used the curse at the time, only once, because she thought maybe there was really something to it and it seems to have worked. She cursed her divorced husband, wished him to die and in fact he drowned in the river. She was still happy that her first thought every morning was, thank God, he's never alive. When the commissioners ask her about the "ghost" she thought she saw earlier, she collapses again. Her husband is dead, she sobs, and yet it goes on and on and does not stop. Batic learns from Menzinger that Ziemer's body has never been found. Franzi tells Leitmayr that she heard the bell ring last night, Gerry got up and did not come back. Then someone came up to her, the next thing she knew was that she had seen Gerry and everything was covered in blood.

Further investigations bring the inspectors on the trail of the beer driver Charly Rapp, he is Ziemer! When they want to arrest him, he says that he saw through the window how Franzi had stabbed a man. He succeeds in snatching the gun from an officer. His last words before he shoots himself in the mouth are: "Tell Franzi that I love her." Franzi still believes that she has been cursed and that it could harm others. Koidl talks to the young woman and tells her that his son is dead. A tragic story. He was not married to the mother. He wanted to make up for it, but his son didn't want it anymore. Then one night his son called him and asked for help. He then helped him to get rid of Mario. He shows her pictures of how his son, Bertl, could be when she wasn't involved. It's piss! Koidl is hard on the young woman. He put something in her tea. When identifying the body, Leitmayr realizes that Ziemer's toes look like Koidl's. In the meantime, Koidl has put the unconscious Franzi in a boat that he is drifting out onto the lake. The officers arrive just before the boat can no longer be seen. Leitmayr brings Franzi out, who has since come to.

Franzi wants to keep going - she wants to go to France , finally, as she says, she can walk without a rubber cord, but very slowly, step by step. Leitmayer has something for the feet and something for art for them. When he and Franzi hug each other as they say goodbye, he says: "Occasionally I get a message from you, yes?"

Reviews

"Beautiful camera paintings (Philipp Timme) and a mysterious Lisa Maria Potthoff as Franzi make this film worth seeing."

- The mirror

“The craftsmen who are presented here seem not only to come from the farthest hinterland, but not even from this world. This applies above all to the rolling sister Franzi, a sensitive character full of naive unworldliness. "

- Arne Lieb : Berliner Zeitung

TV Spielfilm gave one of three points for humor and claim, two for tension, gave it a thumbs up and judged:

“With the help of the hostel father Koidl (Elmar Wepper) Leitmayr […] and Batic […] dive into the microcosm of 'tipping' journeymen and 'shafts'… fun and exciting insights into an exotic world. Well played, funny, fast-paced and surprising. "

- TV movie

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv said that it was a 'crime scene' "where you don't understand a lot, but which you still like to follow into the traditional world of journeymen." [...] Furthermore, Tittelbach certified the director that it was him once again succeeded in “helping the Sunday killer game ritual with plenty of local flavor and thus making a 'crime scene' homeland film out of Tod auf der Walz , which the viewer will not forget so quickly.” Film critics as follows:

“The audience also needs their time to warm up to this very coherently written and staged crime scene. Again and again, barriers to understanding arise. There is the foreign language code, there are the strange customs and traditions. But even with the dialect from the remotest part of Bavaria there is little to understand for non-southern Germans. But that fits increasingly better into the picture of a beautiful, weird crime novel, which, despite the atmosphere, maintains a certain tension over the 90 minutes. "
