Um Haus und Hof is a television film from the crime series Tatort by ARD and ORF . The film was produced by Norddeutscher Rundfunk and first broadcast on September 26, 1993. It is about the crime scene episode 280. For the detective chief inspector Paul Stoever ( Manfred Krug ) it is the 20th case. For his colleague Peter Brockmöller ( Charles Brauer ) it is the 17th case in which he is investigating.

action

The body of a girl is found on the banks of the Elbe and the Hamburg investigators Stoever and Brockmöller are called to the scene of the crime. The victim was strangled with his bare hands and had been in the water for at least five days. The trail quickly leads to the small village of Steinbostel, where the victim lived and where girl murders have already taken place in recent years. Coincidentally, the local police found a half-burned ID that made it possible to identify the girl. The local policeman thinks it is possible that the victim lived in the evacuation camp nearby, as a tooth filling suggests that the girl came from the GDR. Stoever looks around the camp and finds out that a Margret has been missing there for a week. She came from Gera and wanted to return there soon. However, she also had a grandmother close by, but she died just a week ago.

In order to investigate further on site, Stoever and Brockmöller quartered in Steinbostel and very soon suspect the farmer Walter Grambeck, who lives there and recently lost his house and farm. It appears that Margret was killed there, after which the farm is searched, but this remains unsuccessful. Grambeck himself cannot be found and is advertised for a search. A few days later Brockmöller succeeds in arresting him. During interrogation, Margret admits that he knew Margret, but not killed. He would even have looked for her when he realized that she was gone. When he is left alone for a long time, he takes the opportunity and tries to hang himself. Stoever thinks he is innocent, which intensifies when a new girl's corpse is found. Since Grambeck was in custody at the time of the crime, there is no way he could have killed her. The trail quickly leads to a known sex offender, who is arrested and confesses to two murders, but not Margret's.

When Grambeck can be questioned again, he reports of a real battle for his former property. Some people in the village, such as the building contractor Werner Büscher and the bank director Treibmann, have already appropriated all the promising land in the village. His mother never wanted to sell the house and farm and in the end, when everything was already owned by the bank, she had a lifelong right to live on the farm. Stoever finds the sudden death of the old lady striking and has the corpse exhumed. His suspicions are confirmed because Mrs. Grambeck, like Margret, was strangled, which the village doctor Dr. Strangely enough, Schöps escaped. Stoever finds evidence that leads him to the villager Wohlers and he arrests him. During interrogation, however, he has to dig deep into his bag of tricks to get a confession. Wohlers admits to having strangled Margret in a panic because she saw that he had killed old Frau Grambeck. He would have committed this murder on behalf of Büscher, who had paid him a five-figure sum for it.

background

In this episode, which is mainly set outside of Hamburg, the village policeman Lukas Thorwald ( Mark Keller ) is introduced to the series. Stoever noticed his abilities as an investigator positively, so that Thorwald will be brought to Hamburg in the next episode as an investigator assistant for Meyer Zwo.
