That’s what ‘Dampfnudelblues’ is about
Franz Eberhofer (Sebastian Bezzel) lives in Niederkaltenkirchen with his gifted chef but almost deaf grandmother (Ilse Neubauer) and his Beatles-loving father (Eisi Gulp). He investigates the case of school director Höpfl (Robert Palfrader), who first disappeared and was then found run over by a train. A few days earlier, “Die, you pig” was written on the wall of his house. Eberhofer believes it was murder. His friend Rudi Birkenberger (Simon Schwarz) supports him in his investigations, where he also likes to go beyond legality.
That’s what “Winter Potato Dumplings” is about
Village police officer Franz Eberhofer (Sebastian Bezzel) must solve a series of strange deaths involving the Neuhofer family. While the majority and especially Franz’s superior Moratschek (Sigi Zimmerschied) believes in an unfortunate series of coincidences, the village policeman has already set his sights on a suspected perpetrator – rather a suspect: the seductive and mysterious Mercedes (Jeanette Hain). Frank immediately takes on the role together with the support of his Munich ex-colleague Rudi Birkenberger (Simon Schwarz) tracks down the attractive woman and her partner Klaus Mendel (Sascha Alexander Gersak).
That’s what “Pig Head Al Dente” is about
Franz Eberhofer (Sebastian Bezzel) is plagued by heartbreak because his girlfriend Susi (Lisa Maria Potthoff) has run away to Italy – after Franz lost the last chance to save his relationship with a particularly unfortunate statement. While Franz’s father (Eisi Gulp) and cheerful grandmother (Enzi Fuchs) plan a family trip south to retrieve his daughter-in-law, Franz has other concerns: after his boss Moratschek (Sigi Zimmerschied) finds a severed pig’s head found in bed, he is a paragon of panic, assigns Franz to his personal bodyguard and moves in with him…
That’s what “Semolina Dumpling Affair” is all about
The morning after a lively police wedding, the long-drunk village police officer Franz Eberhofer (Sebastian Bezzel) is rudely awakened by his heavily armed colleagues from the special operations team, who quickly arrest him on suspicion of murder: his superior Inspector Barschl (Francis Fulton-Smith) was found dead encountered by Franz’s pocket knife in the back – and Frank and Barschl were known throughout the village as rivals and arch-enemies. Fortunately, Franz’s father (Eisi Gulp) gives him an alibi so he is quickly released. Together with Rudi Birkenberger (Simon Schwarz), Franz then begins the investigation…
That’s what “Sauerkraut Koma” is about
Franz Eberhofer (Sebastian Bezzel) again has many problems that mercilessly tear him from his daily life: he is promoted against his will and therefore has to move to the big city of Munich, where he shares a flat with his friend Rudi (Simon Schwarz). Of all people, his rival Thin Lizzy (Nora Waldstätten) is now his superior. Fortunately, there is soon an excuse to return to Niederkaltenkirchen: a body is found in the Opel Admiral of his father (Eisi Gulp) – and an old acquaintance, the successful businessman Karl-Heinz Fleischmann (Gedeon Burkhard), puts his sentences to Franz’ Friend Susi (Lisa Maria Potthoff) replied.
That’s what “Leberkäsjunkie” is about
For Franz Eberhofer (Sebastian Bezzel), liver cheese and meat pies are now coming to an end! His cholesterol levels are as high as his mood in the basement. His grandmother (Enzi Fuchs) only gives him healthy food. For Eberhofer, these are intolerable circumstances. There is also a murder case involving a burned corpse, lack of sleep, smelly diapers and stress with his semi-ex-girlfriend Susi (Lisa Maria Potthoff). When Susi entrusts him with their almost one-year-old son Paul (Luis Sosnowski) for a week, Franz senses his last chance. Now he can finally prove himself as a father to Susi! Together with his friends, Eberhofer gets little Paul moving, but crime in the otherwise idyllic Niederkaltenkirchen throws a spanner in the works…
That is what the Kaiserschmarrndrama is about
The relaxing times are over for provincial police officer Frank Eberhofer (Sebastian Bezzel). It’s not just the murder of the village webcam girl that’s being blamed. The reason for his unrest is his colleague Rudi (Simon Schwarz), who has had an accident and is currently dependent on a wheelchair. Eberhofer’s girlfriend Susi (Lisa Maria Potthoff) is pursuing the plan to build a semi-detached house with a communal sauna next to the farm. Fortunately, Franz is not the only one who is really angry about this…
