DresdenTatort’ Siebenschläfer Premieres Tonight on ARD

Critics single out Florian Geißelmann in a case that spotlights an overstretched child welfare system.

Overview

  • The episode airs Sunday at 20:15 on ARD, with a live stream and on-demand in the ARD Mediathek, and a same-night repeat on ONE.
  • Detectives Leonie Winkler and Peter Michael Schnabel investigate together following team departures that have left Schnabel under strain.
  • After fleeing the youth home with her boyfriend, 16-year-old Lilly-Marie is found dead near a lake, while 17-year-old Pascal disappears and is sought by police.
  • A second death — youth welfare official Torsten Hess — turns the investigation into two homicide inquiries.
  • The drama shows a polished youth home where traumatized teens are medicated, underscoring shortages of staff and funding that also hinder the police.
