Village People - Auf der Jagd nach dem Nazigold

The unsuccessful and financially troubled writer Umberto Designori discovers a historical document in the Ticino village of Montagnola. Suspecting that it was authored by the famous writer Hermann Hesse, who spent the final years of his life in Montagnola, he sets off for Calw. However, the town archivist and Hesse expert, Dr. Giebenrath, reveals to him that the document is a forgery. The following night, Designori falls to his death. The supposed Hesse letter has disappeared. Detectives Lola Kraft and Jasmin Stein of the "Mordkommission Calw" begin their investigation.

This time, Tatort Calw takes us to the stage, the world's greatest stage. During an amateur theater performance, a version of Romeo & Juliet "translated" into Swabian, a shot is fired according to the script. But the bullet was not a blank. The result: undertaker and amateur actor Günther Jourdan lies dead on the stage. A new case for Calw detectives Jäger, Kraft, and Hoffmann, who now find themselves confronted with a multitude of quarrels, motives, and suspects within the theater troupe. Secret affairs, property disputes, pregnancies, and personal animosities. The theater people are like a prime-time soap opera on private television. However, when the alleged perpetrator is identified, there is a surprising twist.

The young and attractive police inspector Lola Kraft loses her partner during a botched operation in Stuttgart and is subsequently transferred to the supposedly quiet town of Calw as a form of punishment. But right away in her first case, which she has to solve with her new partner, the easygoing and somewhat washed-up detective Karl Jäger, she is confronted with a brutal murder: psychiatrist Dr. Claudia Kretschmer is found dead.

The wealthy car dealership owner Gerhard Binder has an accident with his car and is taken to hospital with serious injuries. Routine examinations reveal that this was an attempted murder. So detectives Jäger, Kraft, and Hoffmann must first investigate a case in which there are no deaths. But anyone familiar with Mania Pictures knows that this won't remain the case for long. The circle of suspects includes primarily Binder's young and attractive wife, as well as his broke brother, a washed-up porn producer. Suddenly, a mysterious stranger appears who obviously also has a bone to pick with Gerhard Binder. In a dramatic and lead-filled finale, the complicated case is finally solved and a big surprise awaits the police officers...

The brutal murder of a retired judge draws detectives Lola Kraft and Jasmin Stein into the case. Was a former "client" of the victim out for revenge? Meanwhile, Chief Inspector Karl Jäger faces entanglements within his own family that escalate into a direct confrontation with a drug lord. The explosive finale unfolds at the "Badischer Hof".

Detectives Karl Jäger and Lola Kraft are investigating again. An inconspicuous family man saves a young woman from being raped and uses unexpected skills that not only attract the attention of himself, but also of the police. But it is not just his mysterious past that troubles the amnesiac victim, but also a killer squad. Who is after him? And what is the mystery of his past?

Chief Inspector Karl Jäger is preparing for the birth of his grandchild, while his colleague Jasmin Stein is thrown into a passionate love affair. But Lola Kraft is also back after her maternity leave when the body of a car dealer is found in a villa. The safe is open, but apparently no money was stolen. What was so valuable that the son of a Russian mafia boss had to die?

Shortly after being released from prison, an ex-convict is abducted by a masked stranger. This is a case for Inspector Jäger, who, due to a lack of work in the Calw homicide division, has to assist colleagues in other departments.

Because detectives Jäger and Kraft botched an unauthorized operation, they now have to face the consequences: they are demoted and placed under the command of their colleague Hoffmann. In their private lives, too, things are not as they should be. While Jäger is kept busy at night by his young children, Lola and Andreas' relationship is in crisis. The Calw investigators are really not having an easy time of it at the moment. And then there's their new case, which seems to be a tough one. When businessman Till Ritter is found dead, everything seems clear at first: suicide. But the matter becomes more complicated. Why was Ritter's daughter kidnapped? And what is his son Philip hiding? And what does the body found in a nearby lake have to do with it? The three detectives and their new colleague still have a lot of work ahead of them, because there is still a long way to go before all the questions are answered and the case can be closed...
