Die Toten von Salzburg

When there's a murder in the border region of Bavaria and Salzburg, it is not always clear under whose authority the investigations should fall. When crooked real estate broker Holzer is found dead, Salzburg's Major Peter Palfinger and Bavarian Chief Inspector Hubert Mur join forces. However, their partnership is not voluntary and they are off to a bumpy start due to their differences in character and opposing professional approaches. While Mur is a straightforward rationalist who reaches his goals through perseverance, Palfinger is fascinated by the complexity of the human psyche. Bound to a wheelchair since a paragliding accident a year ago, he has a different perception of people and the environment, seeing things that may remain hidden to others. Incomplete paraplegia. This diagnosis was a radical turning point in Palfinger's life. The incorrigible optimist, however, takes it as a challenge. He is convinced that his paraplegia is curable and he trains hard to prove it. Eventually he wants to conquer the Untersberg again. Without a wheelchair. On his own two feet.

From the beginning of April until the beginning of May 2015, Florian Teichtmeister and Michael Fitz stood in front of the cameras in Salzburg as a pair of Austrian-Bavarian investigators. ' Die Toten von Salzburg' is directed by Erhard Riedlsperger, who, alongside Klaus Ortner, is also responsible for the screenplay. Other stars include Erwin Steinhauer, Fanny Krausz, Harald Windisch, Simon Hatzl and, of course, the stunning setting of Mozart- and Festival city Salzburg and its surroundings.

"Die Toten von Salzburg" is a co-production between ORF and ZDF, supported through the television fund Austria (Fernsehfonds Austria), Stadt Salzburg and the Land Salzburg.

In Bad Gastein, the body of Jan Torbeck is found in a shaft. After a German policewoman is considered to be the prime suspect, Chief Commissioner Mur is also called in to the case.

A monk, killed by a wooden cross, is found in the confessional of the Capuchin monastery. Palfinger notes that nobody knew the unpopular monk better. It turns out that the supposed monk was a man in the witness protection program. Chief Inspector Mur associates an unresolved criminal case with the man's identity.

Der umtriebige Unternehmer Nussbaumer soll diese mit seiner neuen Biogasanlage vorantreiben. Im Publikum: Hauptkommissar Mur, als verdeckter Personenschutz für Wittmann, Hofrat Seywald, ein alter Schulfreund Nussbaumers, und sein Ehemann Rene. Sie werden rasch auf den Plan gerufen, als Wittmanns Chauffeur vor allen Anwesenden tot aus der Limousine fällt. Er wurde vergiftet. Mord aus Eifersucht? Oder war Energieminister Wittmann das eigentliche Ziel? Irene Russmeyer von der Kripo Salzburg und der bayerische Hauptkommissar Mur sind sich da ganz und gar nicht einig. Die Spuren führen sie zu einer explosiven Gegnerin privater Energieversorgung, ins Salzburger Marionettentheater und zu einem aserbaidschanischen Gasprinzen namens Gorkinski. Immer klarer zeichnet sich ein gefährliches, politisches Komplott ab, das mit brisanten privaten Motiven durchmischt ist und den Ermittlern alles abverlangt.
