Date and story
Three episodes of *Tatortreiniger* will be shown on Friday 20 November at 8 pm at the Bürgerhaus Nieder-Roden, Römerstraße 15. Heiko ‘Schotty’ Schotte’s work begins where others are so horrified they throw up. Whenever a crime scene needs cleaning, he’s on the spot. Wiping away blood, removing remains – none of it’s a problem for the crime scene cleaner. In the process, the eccentric Schotty often comes across some very bizarre characters. The Curse – Whilst cleaning a crime scene, Schotty encounters a young man who believes he has been cursed. An absurd argument ensues about superstition, logic and whether curses can really work. Schotty, pragmatic as ever, tries to dispel the haunting with common sense – which proves more difficult than expected. Pigs – Heiko ‘Schotty’ Schotte is called to a crime scene in a butcher’s shop. Whilst he is working, he gets into a heated argument with a militant animal rights activist who condemns factory farming. The discussion centres on morality, consumerism and personal responsibility – and Schotty finds himself having to reflect on his own behaviour in a way he isn’t used to. Currywurst – Schotty is called to a snack bar where the owner of a sausage stall has died. Whilst cleaning up, he meets the owner of a neighbouring currywurst stall. A laconic conversation ensues about life, death and the importance of a really good currywurst – and about how small things can have great significance.
