TV Tips for Monday - German TV tonight: Unsolved crime, Shark Tank pitches and a sci-fi adventure collide at 8:15 PM
German television viewers have a busy evening ahead with a mix of crime, business, and science fiction. Three major channels will air new programmes at 8:15 PM, including a crime drama inspired by a real-life unsolved case. Meanwhile, a documentary later in the evening will highlight the country's alarming sugar consumption habits.
One of tonight's most anticipated shows is Unter anderen Umständen: The Nameless Girl, based on the mysterious discovery of a coffin in the Geltinger Birk nature reserve. The victim, nicknamed 'Sunny', has remained unidentified for nearly two years, with no missing persons report matching her DNA.
At 8:15 PM, ZDF will broadcast Unter anderen Umständen: The Nameless Girl, a crime drama centred on a coffin found in the Geltinger Birk nature reserve. The body inside, buried for about two years, still has no name. Investigators have yet to find a missing persons case that matches her DNA, leaving the case unsolved.
VOX will air Shark Tank at the same time, featuring entrepreneurs pitching unusual products. Tonight's episode includes a protective phone case and a beer coaster designed to keep drinks cold. Over on kabel eins, the sci-fi adventure Ant-Man and the Wasp follows Scott Lang as he teams up to rescue Hope's mother from the quantum realm. The film also introduces the ruthless dealer Burch and the mysterious Ghost, both chasing advanced technology for their own gain.
Later, at 8:30 PM, Das Erste will present Hirschhausen and the Sugar Trap, a documentary examining Germany's high sugar intake. Recent data shows the average person consumed 41.2 kilograms of sugar in 2023—equivalent to 38 sugar cubes daily. This far exceeds the World Health Organization's recommendation of just 50 grams per day.
The evening concludes at 10:15 PM on ZDF with Chase, an action thriller. The story follows a couple whose ordinary stop at a gas station spirals into chaos when the wife suddenly disappears without explanation.
Tonight's schedule offers a mix of real-life mysteries, business innovation, and cinematic thrills. The crime drama Unter anderen Umständen draws from an actual unsolved case, while Hirschhausen and the Sugar Trap sheds light on a pressing health issue. Viewers can also expect high-stakes entertainment with Shark Tank, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Chase.
