After more than three decades, the actors Miroslav Nemec (69) and Udo Wachtveitl (65), both of whom also live privately in Munich, say goodbye.
Your 100th case will be the last for commissioners Ivo Batic (Nemec) and Franz Leitmayr (Wachtveitl). Bayerischer Rundfunk announced this on Wednesday.
Her final case runs in 2025
So far, the duo has investigated 93 cases, making the Munich team more than any other “crime scene” team. According to the broadcaster, the remaining episodes with the duo will run this year and 2025. Two episodes have already been filmed, five are to follow, “so the commissioners will say goodbye to the service after 35 years and 100 cases.”

“As crime scene chief inspectors, Udo and I have said goodbye to some real police colleagues and a Munich police chief in recent years. They were all a little younger than us. For us, this was a good reason to say goodbye at some point,” said Nemec. Wachtveitl called his “Tatort” involvement “the longest sloppy relationship I’ve ever had.”
The Munich team is one of the longest-serving “crime scene” detectives ever. In 1991 her first case was broadcast. Only Ulrike Folkerts, the Ludwigshafen investigator, has been on duty for two years longer, but has had fewer cases. The next “Tatort” from Munich, “Das Wunderkind”, can be seen on February 2nd (8:15 p.m., ORF 2). The broadcaster left it open on Wednesday as to what would happen after the era of Nemec and Wachtveitl in the “crime scene” of Munich.
