Happy birthday to our favorite Tatort duo as they both celebrate birthdays this week! Dietmar Bär (born February 5th) plays robust, lovable Freddy Schenk and Klaus J. Behrendt (born February 7th) plays the perpetually housing-challenged Max Ballauf in the ever-popular Tatort: Cologne series! Together, they’re two of the most prolific investigators in the 47-year history of the Tatort franchise, and we’re thrilled to announce more episodes of the series will be coming to MHz Choice this May! (See premiere schedule here)

So let’s raise a glass to our two birthday boys and wish them all the best on their special days! Prost!
