Rehragout-Rendezvous: Ninth filming of the popular Bavarian provincial crime series about Inspector Eberhofer, portrayed by Sebastian Bezzel.
Plot and background
News from the Bavarian Eberhofer farm: after Grandma (Enzi Fuchs) has prepared what feels like 2000 cakes and even more roast pork, bread dumplings and cabbage under her own steam, she decides to strike the family care in the future. A momentous decision that ends in total chaos. Papa Eberhofer (Eisi Gulp), Franz (Sebastian Bezzel), Leopold (Gerhard Wittmann) and Susi (Lisa Maria Potthoff) have to learn the hard way how to take care of themselves. At the same time, Susi also temporarily takes over Niederkaltenkirchen’s town hall as deputy mayor. By virtue of her newfound office, she cuts Franz’s police post to half-time so that he can take more care of son Pauli in the future. Franz quickly takes this action as an attack on his Eberhofer’s masculinity, but before the house is finally in trouble, he fortunately finds a welcome distraction. When a crow picks up a human ear, an unsolved missing persons case surprisingly develops into an elaborate murder case. So the popular investigator duo Franz and Rudi (Simon Schwarz) are finally back in top form to track down the murderer and make Niederkaltenkirchen safe again.
A first foretaste gives now the trailer:

Following the best-selling books by Rita Falk, German director Ed Herzog and screenwriter Stefan Betz are bringing the ninth installment of the Eberhofer film series to German theaters on August 10, 2023. The KINO.de review of “Rehragout-Rendezvous” shows what you can expect. In the Eberhofer thrillers, former Munich police detective Franz Eberhofer, who has been punitively transferred to the Lower Bavarian province as a police captain, investigates various minor and major crimes together with his friend Rudi Birkenberger. Franz lives with his father, an aging hippie, on his grandmother’s farm in the fictional community of Niederkaltenkirchen. He has a long-term relationship with the municipal secretary Susi, in which things are not always rosy. Since the fifth part of the series “Sauerkrautkoma”, Franz and Susi are also parents of little Paul.
