The Eberhofer film series brings to life the popular Bavarian crime novels by Rita Falk. The story follows Franz Eberhofer, a small-town police officer, as he solves quirky murder cases while juggling his complicated family life and relationships.

The release order reflects the natural progression of the characters and the ongoing storylines. While the first two films adapt the novels out of publication order, the films themselves build one continuous narrative and are best enjoyed as they were released in theaters.
