Eberhofer - Watch Order: Release Order
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.

Rehragout-Rendezvous
A bang at the Eberhofer farm: Grandma goes on strike and wants to get rid of the family care in the future. Pure chaos! The family is supposed to learn how to take care of themselves. Now, of all times, Susi temporarily takes over Niederkaltenkirchen's town hall as deputy mayor and, with her newfound power, reduces Franz's position to part-time so that he can take care of son Pauli in the future. This action touches the Eberhofer's masculinity sensitively. Fortunately, it doesn't take long for a crow to pick up a human ear, and what should have been a deadlocked missing person's case surprisingly develops into a tricky murder case that once again unites Franz and Rudi as an investigative dream team in top form.
