Wendehammer (in the opening credits "WendeHammer") is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The report produced by Hessischer Rundfunk is the 1004th Tatort episode and was broadcast on the first on December 18, 2016 . The Frankfurt investigator duo Janneke and Brix are investigating their fourth case.
action
The crime writer Betti Graf reports to Anna Janneke and Paul Brix at the police headquarters that her neighbor Abendroth is missing. This lives in a single family house at a turning hammer . She suspects Nils Engels - another neighbor who lives in a fortress-like networked house , from which he monitors the neighborhood and fights "intruders" such as pets. The paranoid angel wants to prevent a singularity algorithm he has developed from being sold by his business partner Daniel to the large company Massive Data . Janneke and Brix start investigations, but apart from a few dead cats they can't find anything at Engels. It turns out that not only Abendroth but also Engels' sister Diana has disappeared without a trace.
Shortly afterwards, a boy from the neighborhood is seriously injured when he tries to climb Engels' electric fence , which was supposed to be harmless. After Engels was initially suspected, he was found dead on the fence a little later. Due to the differences of opinion between Nils Engels and Daniel, Janneke and Brix now suspect the latter and do not take away his warning that Engels wrote a computer virus that is supposed to attack the power supply network if he does not log into his system every few hours. After Frankfurt actually suffers a blackout , Daniel infiltrates Engels' system and renders the virus harmless.
In the meantime, both Abendroth and Diana have reappeared. Diana had been hiding in a Zen monastery after her possessed brother pushed her off a balcony. Abendroth was in a relationship with both Diana and the neighboring Betti Graf and a neighboring opera singer. It turns out that Abendroth, Graf, the opera singer, and the father of the boy Engels 'death, who died at Engels' fence, jointly planned and manipulated the electric fence.
Engels' business partner Daniel is released and takes off on a private jet to complete the sale of the algorithm. As soon as it took off, the plane was blown up by a targeted attack.

Reviews
"Director Markus Imboden, [...] tells of the analog catastrophes in digital life with an eye for the small details. Cinematographer Martin Langer [...] finds melancholy images for the technical overload of the characters. [...] As a comment on data collection mania and artificial intelligence, 'turning hammer' [...] remains quite thin. But as a comedy about being thrown into the digital world, this 'crime scene' exudes enormous visual joke. "
“As a grotesque about a world in which the neighbor's worst enemy is, 'Der Wendehammer' [...] works for a while. But then the plot drifts away, the piece becomes a difficult-to-understand melange of number revue and drama about the forlornness of people in the networked world. Big data is once again the topic, [...] the Frankfurters now mix in some Münster humor, the result is porridge. "
