ARD Postpones 'Polizeiruf 110' Episode Following Magdeburg Tragedy

The broadcaster delays airing the crime drama out of respect for victims of the recent Christmas market attack in Magdeburg.

  • ARD has decided to postpone the February 2 airing of the 'Polizeiruf 110' episode titled 'Widerfahrnis' due to its sensitive themes.
  • The decision follows the December attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market, which left six dead and nearly 300 injured.
  • The episode's storyline, involving themes of loss and grief, was deemed potentially distressing given the recent tragedy.
  • A replacement episode from the 'Tatort' series will air in its place, though the specific title has not yet been confirmed.
  • The suspect in the attack, a Saudi Arabian asylum recipient, remains in custody as investigations continue.
