Murder in Lederhosen fever: Mysterious auction shocked!
January 20, 2026 brings exciting news from the world of television and Austrian film. Today we are looking at two remarkable productions that captivate viewers: the crime thriller “The Rosenheim Cops” with the episode “To Death Increased” and the amusing comedy “The Lederhosen Affair”.
The episode from the popular crime series on ZDF is available, it's all about a special kind of auction. Initiator Renate Wenninger is offering the lederhosen of her late husband Wastl Wenninger. Renate's lack of understanding about the value and meaning of these leather trousers remains strange. The investigation focuses on the deceased's best friends, Erwin Glöckner and Sepp Krampfinger. What turns out to be another twist: Krampfinger's wife had an affair with a certain Riedl. The investigators suspect that jealousy could have been the reason for Wastl's murder.
Intrigue and complications
It quickly becomes clear that Erwin Glöckner shows great interest in the lederhosen, especially since he was also at the crime scene. The situation escalates when the leather pants are found near the crime scene and a hidden secret, a diamond, is discovered inside. It remains unclear who knew about this diamond and how it ended up in the lederhosen. Here, Dr. Lauser-König from the Ministry of the Interior also plays a role, as he initiates customer concerns without giving his nephew preferential treatment.
In a completely different context, but just as captivating, “The Lederhosen Affair” plays a crucial role. This Austrian comedy film, released on Wikipedia and shown for the first time on ORF on December 15, 2021, is about the law student Konstantin Zeller. The cleverly conceived film takes viewers through a huge mess when Konstantin accidentally sets the library at the University of Innsbruck on fire and then ends up in Dr. Kuschka works as a trainee. This all happens while his ex-girlfriend Olivia, who runs a fashion label for short leather pants, is embroiled in a messy trademark dispute.
A colorful film fun
The plot continues to unfold as Konstantin, despite his lack of experience, supports Olivia and becomes involved in a conflict that politicians are also happy to use for their own purposes. Tyrolean and Bavarian entities try to pursue their own goals. The film shows the quirky sides of the characters, calling out many stereotypes and bringing the regional language to life. Reviews from tittelbach.tv and others say that while the comedy reveals some funny elements, it is also not without half-baked ideas.
Overall, these productions ensure a varied evening that offers both the excitement of a crime thriller and the laughter of a comedy. It remains to be seen whether the scheming and funny storylines can captivate audiences. One thing is certain, however: in the world of television, especially in Austria, stories about lederhosen and mysterious auctions remain very popular!
