His new place of work is the small town of Bangerode in the Harz Mountains. But before Braun sets off there, he has to make a holy vow never to get involved in criminal cases again, no matter how harmless or serious they may be. What pastor Braun does not suspect: Hemmelrath's scheming aide Mühlich has ensured that the tradition-conscious Braun is assigned to an ecumenical congregation. When he arrives in Bangerode, the amateur detective can hardly believe his eyes when the young, casually dressed Protestant pastor Happe welcomes him. Braun's resolute housekeeper Margot Roßhauptner, known as the Roßhauptnerin, is also amazed when Happe's funky, esoteric-minded deacon Valeska immediately addresses her informally and introduces her to the kitchen of the shared rectory: raw and frozen food replace traditional cooking skills, and a microwave is the most important kitchen appliance. But it doesn't take long for the Roßhauptnerin to become friends with this "emancipated" form of cooking. As if that wasn't enough trouble, Pastor Braun's loyalty to his vows is soon put to the test. In Bangerode, new information emerges in a case that had already been filed as solved: it concerns the murder of the teacher Rinke. After confessing, the pretty, deaf-mute student Antonia is in custody as the perpetrator, although her friend Winfried claims to be the real perpetrator. Such strange contradictions naturally make Pastor Braun curious. With the support of the slightly awkward Inspector Geiger, he conducts his own investigations - of course in the greatest secrecy, because neither the bishop nor the strict Roßhauptner woman must find out anything about Braun's "relapse". In fact, it doesn't take long before the clever priest, with his unusual investigative methods, comes across a hot lead. Written by ADR Das Erste See less
