The series is about Chief Inspector Benedikt Beissl (Andreas Giebel), who lives in Berchtesgaden with his wife Elisabeth and three daughters Maria, Johanna and Eva. Beissl has been ensuring law and order in Berchtesgaden for decades. To his displeasure, one day he was given a new colleague. So far, the solitary inspector has loved to do his thing alone. His new colleague Jerry Paulsen (Peter Marton) is the son of a black GI and the daughter of an innkeeper from Bad Aibling. He is quite daring and able to work in a team and moved from Hamburg to Bavaria for reasons of love. But Jerry's chosen one is, of all people, Beissl's daughter Johanna. The two police commissioners have to solve a murder in the area in each episode. The locally rooted Beissl often knows the victims as well as their surroundings and potential perpetrators.
There is no Next Episode of Watzmann ermittelt planned.
S6E11 - Nachrichten aus dem Jenseits
Luise Reitinger walks into the Berchtesgaden police station convinced of one thing: the message that her best friend and former colleague, paramedic Klara, supposedly sent from Kenya cannot be from her. Jerry quickly spots an inconsistency in the attached photo, and the federal police confirm that while Klara had booked a flight to Nairobi, she was not on board. Since no body has been found, Sophia, Jerry, and Beissl begin investigating within the emergency dispatch center's circle.
Why does Klara's colleague Ritschi only reluctantly admit that he was in a relationship with her until four weeks ago? What explains the bloodstains in Klara's apartment—and who wrote the alarming note reading "Murderer!"? Suspicion falls on the desperate father Toni Tretter, who blames the paramedics—station chief Bertha Heinze and paramedic Bruno Wichmann—for the accidental death of his daughter, claiming they took far too long to get her to the hospital.
When Klara's body is finally discovered in the woods and another message from her reaches Luise, it becomes clear that one of the suspects is playing a dangerous game. With the help of Franzi and Max, the investigators set a trap. But before it can snap shut, Jerry has to endure some gentle teasing from Johanna, who thinks his meticulously planned routes to the maternity ward are over the top. Then Johanna goes into labor—earlier and more intensely than expected—and suddenly even the best plan is useless.

S6E12 - Tote Träume
Dark clouds hang over a tennis club near the Watzmann. Julia Feller, the newly elected chairwoman and an exceptional coach, lies motionless on the court. Cause of death: heart attack, according to Dr. Hartmann. However, an abnormally high level of adrenaline is found in her body, which—given her rare medical condition—led directly to her death. It soon becomes clear that the victim was poisoned. Motives are plentiful.
Julia's deputy, Simone Herzig, was jealous of her popularity and aware of her medical condition. Simone's son Kilian belonged to an elite training group set to be scouted internationally in Mallorca in just a few weeks. This group also included Valentina de Luca, daughter of Ernesto—Jerry and Johanna's favorite Italian restaurateur, who runs the restaurant on the club grounds. Ernesto, however, has little faith in his daughter's tennis ambitions—unlike her brother Francesco. The third talent, Lena Jackstedt, had every reason to be furious with Julia: her father, a sponsor of the tennis club, had recently left Lena's mother for Julia Feller.
Then an email with explosive content surfaces, which the victim had received shortly before her death. When forensics also find Kilian's fingerprints on the murder weapon, the case seems solved. But in this instance, nothing is as it first appears…
Meanwhile, Beissl is training Sophia's son Luis in the garden at home. The boy feels sidelined at his football club—good thing Beissl is a top-notch motivator.
