Furtwängler is currently filming the movie "Tator" amidst an active filming scenario.
The much-anticipated "Tatort" crime thriller, featuring Kommissarin Charlotte Lindholm, played by Maria Furtwängler, is set to air next year. The latest instalment, titled "Schützenfest" (Marksmen's Festival), is currently being filmed in Hannover and Hamburg until early August.
The filming process began at the marksmen's parade in Hannover, a spectacle that attracted thousands of spectators. The parade, which showcased marksmen's associations, musical groups, fire brigades, historical vehicles, and carriages, wound its way through the city centre, providing a unique backdrop for the new episode.
The parade, known as the world's largest traditional marksmen's parade according to the state capital, was also attended by Furtwängler and fellow actress Luise von Stein. The actresses took breaks during filming to immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere.
The plot of "Schützenfest" revolves around Kommissarin Lindholm investigating a murder and potential imminent crimes. A fictional marksmen's association is believed to be involved, but the details are being kept under wraps to avoid spoiling the plot.
Interestingly, the victim in the new episode made a mysterious phone call to the police before their death. The exact connection between the phone call and the marksmen's association remains a mystery.
Last year, around 650,000 people attended the Hannover Schützenfest, and this year, organizers are expecting approximately 900,000 visitors. The festival continues until July 13.
While specific plot details are scarce, it's safe to assume that the setting of the traditional shooting festival will play a significant role in the episode. Given the rich history and culture associated with "Tatort" episodes, fans can expect a gripping investigation set against the backdrop of a unique German tradition.
In the heart of Hannover and Hamburg, the filming of the 'Tatort' crime series, specifically 'Schützenfest,' takes place amid the world's largest traditional marksmen's parade, providing an authentic backdrop for the upcoming episode. Maria Furtwängler, who plays Kommissarin Charlotte Lindholm, along with fellow actress Luise von Stein, have immersed themselves in the festive atmosphere during breaks from filming.
