Crime scene today: “Last excursion to Schauinsland” on Whit Monday
The Schauinsland near Freiburg is a popular excursion destination. Of all places, psychologist Lisa Schieblon’s body was found here – in the trunk of her car. The investigation takes inspectors Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg to the forensic clinic. Schieblon was working on a report there – her patient Hansi Pagel is dividing opinions in the clinic.
Inspectors Tobler and Berg’s first suspicion: open marriage as a motive for murder?
The investigators start from scratch. Lisa Schieblon was strangled – but shows no signs of defense. The time of death can only be roughly determined. The first path therefore leads to Schieblon’s husband, who is also a psychologist. The two had an open marriage, which initially seemed suspicious to Tobler and Berg and led to some inappropriate comments.
Professionalism looks different – especially because it turns out pretty quickly that the hottest lead probably leads to the forensic clinic where Schieblon was currently working.

Schieblon’s task was to prepare a new psychiatric report on Hansi Pagel. He is said to have raped his wife and bullied his family – and has been in prison ever since.Kindergarten for adults“, as he calls the clinic. However, Schieblon’s report would have contributed significantly to his dismissal. The investigators still lack a motive. The focus also comes to Pagel’s family, who would rather have him in the clinic than back home.
SWR3 Tatort review: A crime thriller ending with many unanswered questions
The Freiburg crime scene is not a crime thriller to guess at. At most, the gut feeling of very experienced Tatort fans provides clues as to who is responsible for Lisa Schieblon’s death. In the end, even the detectives don’t solve the case properly, even if they think so. During the investigation, however, so many sub-plots are opened up, which are then continued frantically and sometimes pointlessly, that you end up sitting in front of the television with more question marks than before.
The theme and setting are fundamentally exciting, and the characters also have potential. But not enough was made of it – and Tobler and Berg tend to make things worse with their questions cringe moments than for tension.
