“Tatort” preview: Cologne: Huberty’s revenge on the Rhine – culture
Cologne detectives Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk are looking for a murderer and end up in the middle of a hostage situation on the Rhine.
That was not foreseeable. The body of a man is washed ashore on the banks of the Rhine. The man was a mechanic on one of those excursion boats that sail daily, laden with tourists and party people, across the Rhine between Cologne and Bonn. Evidence of traces on the corpse: Shortly before his death, the mechanic had been part of a physical altercation.
The plot of today’s crime scene
When detectives Max Ballauf (Klaus J. Behrendt) and Freddy Schenk (Dietmar Bär) investigate the case, they suddenly find themselves in the middle of a hostage situation – or rather: can only watch because the ship has already left: On board the excursion ship “Agrippina” the former high school teacher Daniel Huberty (Stephan Kampwirth) is holding the passengers hostage.
The perpetrator gets revenge
He threatens to blow up the ship if his demands are not met. Huberty demands justice. Because exactly that was not granted to him in court when he was sentenced to imprisonment for a sexual relationship with an underage student.
act on the ball
Huberty demands that the “culprits” should now be brought on board. The people who “willfully” destroyed his life back then. If the Cologne police and the public prosecutor’s office do not follow his wishes, he wants to blow up the ship and its passengers. Inspector Max Ballauf decides on a daring maneuver – much to the chagrin of his colleague Freddy Schenk.
“Huberty’s Rache” from Cologne (director: Marcus Weiler) plays excitingly with Cologne’s local color, a good atmosphere and powerless Freddy Schenk on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
