Murder in the Flensburg Harbor: New crime thriller with murderous machinations!
Something exciting is happening in the crime scene in Northern Germany: The new “Flensburg crime thriller” with the title “The Lorenz Case” is in the starting blocks. This exciting crime series once again brings into play Chief Inspector Svenja Rasmussen, played by Katharina Schlothauer. At her side, Antoine “Tony” Haller, played by Eugene Boateng, investigates. With these two on board, the new episode becomes an exciting adventure.
The murder victim in this episode is the boat captain Jasper Carstens. His dark story leads the investigators directly into the depths of organized crime. The exciting filming took place between April and May 2025 in Flensburg, Hamburg and the surrounding area. It is planned to be broadcast in spring 2026 as part of “DonnerstagsKrimi” on Erste. The audience can look forward to gripping insights and thrilling twists and turns, as [Augsburger Allgemeine](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/panorama/tv/der-flensburg-krimi-aufnahme-3-termin-bestellung-handlung-24-9-25-110075977) reports.
A look back
The “Flensburg crime thriller” has already produced two exciting parts: “The Dead Man on the Beach” from 2021 and “Wechselspiele” from 2024. In these episodes, mysteries were solved that were, among other things, related to the kidnapping of a nine-year-old boy, Jan Poulsen. The boy's parents, handball star Mikkel and his wife Tamara, also played a central role in this case - they were in pure panic when their child disappeared. The kidnappers had high demands: Mikkel should terminate his contract with a Paris handball club and stay in Flensburg, as [ Fernsehenserien.de](https://www. Fernsehenserien.de/der-flensburg-krimi/episodenguide/0/51562) reports.
But that's not the only disturbance: the new episode not only focuses on crimes, but also on a mole within the murder squad who could sabotage the investigation. This promises additional excitement for the viewers. The investigators not only face the challenge of solving the murder of Jasper Carstens, but also have to ensure that internal processes are not undermined.
Shadow play of organized crime
The topic of organized crime is of central importance in the current crime series. According to a study on organized crime in Germany, these crimes can be characterized by the desire for profit or power. Often more than two perpetrators are in league for long periods of time and use intimidation to achieve their goals. There are currently 642 investigations known on this topic, with around 41% in the area of drug trafficking and smuggling, which illustrates the threat posed by such structures, as Statista.de notes.
The new episode of the “Flensburg crime thriller” could not only provide exciting entertainment, but also shed light on the complex connections of organized crime. Against the background of current developments in Germany, in which various groups in organized crime are intertwined, the Lorenz case is sure to captivate viewers and make them think.
With an excellent cast and captivating storylines, this crime series promises not only thrills, but also a deeper examination of social issues. It remains exciting to see what Inspectors Rasmussen and Haller will uncover in the fight against crime.
