Batic and Leitmayr Bid Farewell as Munich Tatort Marks 100th Case

A planned handover to a new Munich pair keeps the franchise steady.

Overview

  • The final film, Unvergänglich, premiered in Munich with a formal send-off that included retirement certificates from Bavaria’s interior minister and tributes from the city’s police.
  • Das Erste will air the two-part finale on Easter Sunday and Monday, April 5–6, at 8:15 p.m., with streaming to follow in the ARD Mediathek and a BR documentary after part two.
  • Bayerischer Rundfunk’s culture chief Björn Wilhelm said the duo reached about 814 million viewers in first runs and likely topped one billion with repeats.
  • Ferdinand Hofer, long seen as assistant Kalli Hammermann, now teams up with Carlo Ljubek as Nikola Buvak, with two successor episodes already filmed and air dates not yet set.
  • The pair close a 35-year run that defined Munich’s Tatort with case-driven storytelling and 100 cases, in a franchise that rotates local teams across Germany’s Sunday-night slot.
