Learning German? Don’t miss these crime TV shows
As a language tutor, I always encourage students to spend as much time as possible listening to content in their target language. I’ve blogged on this topic several times before, but this time I’m writing from the perspective of a language learner, as well. I’ve been learning German for a number of years now, and one of my greatest allies has been the on-demand service of the German public television – the amazing ARD Mediathek.
For all who are learning this language or wanting to immerse themselves in the German media culture, the ARD Mediathek is the one-stop destination for numerous TV programmes, shows, and documentaries, most of them available for on-demand viewing outside Germany. To me, as a learner, ARD Mediathek has been additionally useful because of readily available German subtitles accompanying most programmes, which is of great help when you’re trying to follow content in a language you’re still trying to master.
While I enjoy different genres, in this post I’ll share my top 5 crime TV series from Germany, currently available on ARD Mediathek. Some of them I’ve been following for years, and they’ve become a part of my daily routine. Maybe you’ll enjoy them, too!
TATORT
Source: “obs/ARD Das Erste”Tatort (“Crime Scene”) is the ultimate German television classic – a prime-time TV series that’s been on TV since 1970. Each episode is produced by a different regional public broadcaster – a member station of the ARD, so the investigating teams come from different parts of Germany (plus Austria and Switzerland, which now also take part in the production). Their separate storylines – some of which have been running for years – reflect regional differences, including dialects, which should be of interest to language learners.
Unlike many light-hearted, cosy mystery TV shows out there, Tatort is usually pretty dark, although that, too, depends on the regional team and the particular storyline. Don’t be surprised by an emotionally overwhelming or nightmarish episode from Berlin followed by a humorous one from Münster. In any case, the series goes well beyond petty crime, often addressing difficult social issues and current affairs in a surprisingly blunt and candid way. No wonder episodes of Tatort consistently provoke comments and public debates, as well as extensive coverage in the German press.
POLIZEIRUF 110
Another TV show with a uniquely German background: Polizeiruf 110 (“Police Call 110”) started in the former German Democratic Republic back in 1971. It took off as East Germany’s version of Tatort, originally produced by Deutscher Fernsehfunk. Similar in concept, Polizeiruf 110 initially tended to be more involved with social problems. Watching the old GDR-period episodes, you can tell there’s an underlying message in line with the proclaimed values of the socialist regime.
After the German reunification, unlike most other East German TV shows, Polizeiruf 110 successfully survived. As with Tatort, investigating teams are based in different places, mainly the towns and cities of the former East Germany, such as Rostock and Magdeburg. My personal favourite, though, are the episodes set in and around the Polish village of Świecko, right on the German-Polish border, tackling the issues facing small rural communities in a borderland region with a volatile past.
In the ARD Mediathek you can find both the current and the old, classic episodes, which makes Polizeiruf 110 a fascinating television journey through the political and social landscape of the German East. Yes, it’s a crime TV show, but if you’re a careful observer, it’s much more than that.
DER USEDOM-KRIMI
Before saying anything about this series, I’ll add a note that – depending on your location – you may not be able to access all of the episodes in the Mediathek due to copyright restrictions. And this pains me so much, because Der Usedom-Krimi is one of my all-time favourite series, German or otherwise.
Set on the island of Usedom in the Baltic Sea, split between Germany and Poland, the series follows Karin Lossow, a former state prosecutor. After her release from prison, where she had spent a number of years for killing her husband (the background alone is thrilling!), Karin returns to the island and seeks to rebuild her life and mend the relationship with her daughter. As different crimes happen on the island, Karin helps out with the investigations, using her talents and many years of experience as a prosecutor.
Why do I love this series so much? To start with, Karin is played by Katrin Sass, who is such an incredible character and an excellent actress – you many have seen her in the celebrated 2003 film Goodbye, Lenin, where she played the mother. Let’s just say that she brings a lot of her sass (pun definitely intended!) to Der Usedom-Krimi. Then, the location, attention to detail, and intelligent plots all contribute to a perfect mix that makes this a very successful crime drama. I’ve found it oddly comforting, in ways that I can’t fully explain. Each episode made me want to pack up my bags and go visit the Baltic coast.
MORDEN IM NORDEN
Moving on to more light-hearted content, Morden im Norden (“Murder in the North”), is a police procedural set in the northern German city of Lübeck. The series was first launched in 2012, initially as part of a separate line of evening-TV crime shows under the title of Heiter bis tödlich.
The episodes follow two leading investigators, Finn Kiesewetter and Lars Englen (played by Sven Martinek and Ingo Naujoks), along with a cast of regular supporting characters. Whereas Tatort and Polizeiruf 110 often conclude on a frustratingly tragic note, Morden im Norden is jovial in comparison, with a much greater likelihood of a happy outcome. Also, more attention is paid to the main characters’ private lives and their interpersonal relations, plots are more quirky and relaxed, plus you get to see a lot of Lübeck.
While Polizeiruf 110 and Der Usedom-Krimi bring many East German reminiscences and flashbacks, Morden im Norden has, unsurprisingly, a very northern flair that you’ll recognize in many little details, from the occasional (but very limited) use of Plattdeutsch, to mentions of many Northern delicacies.
MORD MIT AUSSICHT
Last but not least, Mord mit Aussicht (“Murder with a View”) is a typical German Schmunzelkrimi, i.e. a crime comedy with all the elements of this genre. The series is set in the fictional village of Hengasch in the Eifel mountains of western Germany. Apart from the humorous plots, the series is full of likeable characters and beautiful nature scenes. It’s very relaxing and truly belongs to the cosy mystery type of TV shows.
I slightly preferred the original cast led by Caroline Peters as the Komissarin Sophie Haas, but the later episodes with Katharina Wackernagel playing Marie Gabler are just as fun.
First broadcast in 2008, new episodes are still in production, scheduled to run at least until 2027.
There are many more crime TV shows available in the ARD Mediathek that come to mind as I’m writing this post, but these are my top 5 right now. If you’re learning German and looking for something fun and interesting to watch, you can’t go wrong with these. They will also help you to learn more about different parts of Germany, as well as the contemporary German culture and society in general.
Are there any other crime TV shows from the German-speaking countries that you’d like to recommend? Post about them in the comments section below!

It took off as East Germany’s version of Tatort, originally produced by Deutscher Fernsehfunk. Similar in concept, Polizeiruf 110 initially tended to be more involved with social problems. Watching the old GDR-period episodes, you can tell there’s an underlying message in line with the proclaimed values of the socialist regime.
After the German reunification, unlike most other East German TV shows, Polizeiruf 110 successfully survived. As with Tatort, investigating teams are based in different places, mainly the towns and cities of the former East Germany, such as Rostock and Magdeburg. My personal favourite, though, are the episodes set in and around the Polish village of Świecko, right on the German-Polish border, tackling the issues facing small rural communities in a borderland region with a volatile past.
In the ARD Mediathek you can find both the current and the old, classic episodes, which makes Polizeiruf 110 a fascinating television journey through the political and social landscape of the German East. Yes, it’s a crime TV show, but if you’re a careful observer, it’s much more than that.
DER USEDOM-KRIMI
Before saying anything about this series, I’ll add a note that – depending on your location – you may not be able to access all of the episodes in the Mediathek due to copyright restrictions. And this pains me so much, because Der Usedom-Krimi is one of my all-time favourite series, German or otherwise.
Set on the island of Usedom in the Baltic Sea, split between Germany and Poland, the series follows Karin Lossow, a former state prosecutor. After her release from prison, where she had spent a number of years for killing her husband (the background alone is thrilling!), Karin returns to the island and seeks to rebuild her life and mend the relationship with her daughter. As different crimes happen on the island, Karin helps out with the investigations, using her talents and many years of experience as a prosecutor.
Why do I love this series so much? To start with, Karin is played by Katrin Sass, who is such an incredible character and an excellent actress – you many have seen her in the celebrated 2003 film Goodbye, Lenin, where she played the mother. Let’s just say that she brings a lot of her sass (pun definitely intended!) to Der Usedom-Krimi. Then, the location, attention to detail, and intelligent plots all contribute to a perfect mix that makes this a very successful crime drama. I’ve found it oddly comforting, in ways that I can’t fully explain. Each episode made me want to pack up my bags and go visit the Baltic coast.
MORDEN IM NORDEN
Moving on to more light-hearted content, Morden im Norden (“Murder in the North”), is a police procedural set in the northern German city of Lübeck. The series was first launched in 2012, initially as part of a separate line of evening-TV crime shows under the title of Heiter bis tödlich.
The episodes follow two leading investigators, Finn Kiesewetter and Lars Englen (played by Sven Martinek and Ingo Naujoks), along with a cast of regular supporting characters. Whereas Tatort and Polizeiruf 110 often conclude on a frustratingly tragic note, Morden im Norden is jovial in comparison, with a much greater likelihood of a happy outcome. Also, more attention is paid to the main characters’ private lives and their interpersonal relations, plots are more quirky and relaxed, plus you get to see a lot of Lübeck.
While Polizeiruf 110 and Der Usedom-Krimi bring many East German reminiscences and flashbacks, Morden im Norden has, unsurprisingly, a very northern flair that you’ll recognize in many little details, from the occasional (but very limited) use of Plattdeutsch, to mentions of many Northern delicacies.
MORD MIT AUSSICHT
Last but not least, Mord mit Aussicht (“Murder with a View”) is a typical German Schmunzelkrimi, i.e. a crime comedy with all the elements of this genre. The series is set in the fictional village of Hengasch in the Eifel mountains of western Germany. Apart from the humorous plots, the series is full of likeable characters and beautiful nature scenes. It’s very relaxing and truly belongs to the cosy mystery type of TV shows.
I slightly preferred the original cast led by Caroline Peters as the Komissarin Sophie Haas, but the later episodes with Katharina Wackernagel playing Marie Gabler are just as fun.
First broadcast in 2008, new episodes are still in production, scheduled to run at least until 2027.
There are many more crime TV shows available in the ARD Mediathek that come to mind as I’m writing this post, but these are my top 5 right now. If you’re learning German and looking for something fun and interesting to watch, you can’t go wrong with these. They will also help you to learn more about different parts of Germany, as well as the contemporary German culture and society in general.
Are there any other crime TV shows from the German-speaking countries that you’d like to recommend? Post about them in the comments section below!

ich frag mich ja, ob das einfach nur die üblichen Wiederholungen sein sollen, oder ob die #ARD kapiert hat, dass die neuen Staffeln nix sind.
Ab Montag 16:10 wird die allererste Staffel von #MordmitAussicht wiederholt....
Das wird ein Spass... 🥳 🥳 -

Der Stellvertreter des Fussballgottes auf Erden, Tom Theunissen, hat eine Langzeitdokumentation über seine jahrelange Freundschaft mit den Gebrüdern Bilali vorgelegt, die ich als einer der wenigen Sport-Inside-Fans über die Jahre mit Interesse verfolgt habe. Das wird Sie auch interessieren und gedanklich beschäftigen, wenn Sie mit Fussball nichts zu tun haben (wollen), denn es geht um die Verhältnisse hier, in diesem Land: “Eine ‘Sport inside’-Dokumentation: Flucht und Fußball – Die Geschichte der Brüder Bilali – Fußball als Tor in ein neues Leben: Wie zwei elternlose Brüder in Deutschland Fuß fassten und der Sport ihnen dabei half – angefangen mit einer Flüchtlingsmannschaft.”
Und jetzt die Evergreens
Mord mit Aussicht, die guten alten ersten drei Staffeln. Ich habe sie schon viermal gesehen, und werde nicht damit aufhören. Unfassbar, wieviel Liebe zum TVmachen möglich ist. Bis Oktober 24 verfügbar.
Früher war alles besser – mit unserem Schimmi
Der WDR lässt einzelne Schimanski-Tatort-Folgen wieder ins Programm tröpfeln, mit nur quartalskurzer Mediathekverfügbarkeit. So war 80er-Jahre Realismus, gedreht von adornogeschulten Teams. Das Ruhrgebiet hat ihn geliebt – ausser den SPD-Oberbürgermeistern und ihrem Stadtmarketing.
Neues aus Büttenwarder, so viele sind schon tot, weniger als 100 Folgen. Besser lässt sich Norddeutschland nicht verkaufen. Subtile Kritik des real existierenden kapitalistischen Alltags. Das “Breaking Bad” Schleswig-Holsteins.

Psychoklempner Kranitz, in Wirklichkeit Immobiliendealer. Herr Schütte mag so gerne Arschloch sein, und das können Sie und ich sehen. Und das bildschöne Gewerbegebiet ist besonders schön ausgesucht … über ein halbes Jahr verfügbar.
Hidden Agenda, stellt jeden Tatort in den Schatten, erste Staffel nur noch bis Weihnachten, zweite Staffel bis Oktober 24.
Browser Ballett – Kabarett, das linear unauffindbar ist, seit einiger Zeit beim ZDF.
Doppelhaushälfte, drei Staffeln, die erste noch bis April 24. Familienrealismus der Gegenwart, aber lustiger.
Nur noch bis 29.12.: Merz gegen Merz, Familienrealismus aus Familienunternehmen, hier spielen nur die Besten mit.
Blockbustaz – hier lernen Sie Köln-Chorweiler lieben, was für ein grandioses Ensemble! Über ein halbes Jahr verfügbar.
Das Schweden-Krimi-Original: Beck, Staffeln 7-9 halbes Jahr verfügbar.
Barnaby geht immer. kleinbritannische Dorfdeppen, gespielt, als wenn es Ernst ist. Wöchentlich montags im Nischensender mit mehr Zuschauer*inne*n, als die parallel laufende ARD-Talkshow.
Nachtschicht, Krimi in Hamburg, immer nur eine Folge pro Jahr, was der Qualität sehr gut tut, das Beste, was das ZDF selbst hinkriegt. Kein Regionaltourimuskrimi!
Life on Mars – wie konnte es zu Thatcher kommen? Zeitreise-Krimi von den Nullen in die 70er. Verfügbar bis Mai 24.
Alle Vorschläge sind schon öffentlich-rechtlich bezahlt, kein zusätzliches Abonnement erforderlich.
Beachten Sie für Ihre Gesundheitsvorsorge:
kein industriell gefertigtes Knabbergebäck, dann lieber Oliven. Schokolade/Pralinen nicht zerkauen, sondern wie Bonbons im Mund zergehen lassen. Das wirkt nachhaltiger. Immer mal wieder den Film anhalten, bewegen, telefonieren, Spazieren oder Einkaufen gehen (vorzugsweise an den hellen Tagesstunden zur Mittagszeit), Hausputz o. ähnl. Mahlzeiten nicht vernachlässigen, regelmüssig absolvieren, keinen Industriemüll, sondern selbstgekocht (von wem auch immer).
