Crime scene special: Repetition today - tension before the new case!

Ludwigshafen, Deutschland - Today, on June 8, 2025, the ARD shows a repetition of the popular crime novel “crime scene” on the occasion of Pentecost Sunday. As t-online.de , the new episode is only broadcast on Monday. The repetition dates from September 2022 and bears the name "The interrogation". In this episode, the investment banker Ann-Kathrin Werfel is found lifeless, and her ex-husband is suspected of having committed the act, but has an alibi.

The action takes place in Ludwigshafen, where commissioners Lena Odenthal and Johanna Stern lead the investigation. The repetition is usually broadcast, since many spectators enjoy the “crime scene” as a crowning end of their weekend. She will follow the new episode "Fire" on Monday, which deals with the death of mother Meike Gebken.

new episode on arson

In the episode "Fire", which will be broadcast on June 9, 2025, investigators Peter Faber and Rosa Herzog encounter a devastating crime. Meike Gebken is found dead in her house-the cause of death is carbon monoxide poisoning. This is not an accident, but an arson, whereby Meike had come to a women's shelter and had only returned to her apartment for one night. Her six-year-old daughter Zoe was found on the street and was probably present at the fire, while her 14-year-old son Finn remains disappearing after the incident. SWR3 reports of the challenges that are faced with their investigations, in particular the polarizing atmosphere in the women's shelter, where Faber comes across mistrust.

Rosa Herzog, on the other hand, goes undercover to the women's shelter to gain the trust of women. Faber, who himself has to struggle with a traumatic past, focuses on Jens Hielscher, the friend of Meike, who has an alibi. This episode not only addresses crime, but also domestic violence and the various challenges with which the women concerned are confronted.

program notes and outlook

The “crime scene” on Whit Monday will be the penultimate case before the summer break. ARD will show a film with the Swiss investigators Isabelle Grandjean and Tessa Ott next weekend. On June 22nd, a “police call” will be on the program before the audience has to see repetitions for three months, as also from t-online.de . The "crime scene" remains one of the most important elements of German television culture and still attracts a large audience.

The upcoming episode "Fire" promises to captivate the viewers with a challenging story that takes around 90 minutes and is evaluated with an age rating of 12 years. The critic Linda Molitor has already expressed that the “crime scene” in the end could have too much of a good thing, which only increases the curiosity about the episode.
