Toxic secrets: marital crisis or murder plot in Villa Kleist?

The exciting format “Murder in Villa Kleist” attracts viewers in front of the screen on Monday, July 7th, 2025 at 2:10 p.m. on BR television. Episode 110 is all about Achim Münster, a passionate amateur gardener and cook, whose life is not only shaped by the garden, but also by turbulence in his marriage to Gabi. The troubled relationship is overshadowed by Achim's health problems: he suffers from recurring attacks of nausea, the cause of which remains unclear. A deceptive undertaking that preoccupies Gabi casts additional shadows on the idyll he lives.

Achim discovers that Gabi is reading a book about “Hidden Murders,” which makes him suspect that she might mean something bad to him. Suspicion draws him under his spell and he confronts Dr. Christian Kleist with his fears. What is behind this book and what secrets does it hold?

Family turmoil and secrets

Gabi herself also has her own demons to fight. She suffers from painful menstrual cramps but withdraws and feels nostalgic while keeping her misery a secret. The therapist Tanja Ewald tries to help Gabi and penetrates her emotional world to shed light on the underlying problems.

There are no limits to the intrigue at Villa Kleist. Michael, another character in the plot, owns the book in question, which he lent to a woman. Tanja makes an astonishing discovery when she finds the book in Yasmin Wolf's laboratory and a suspicion arises: Could there be an affair between the laboratory doctor and a surgeon? Mysteries and emotions combine in this episode in a gripping drama.

Poison murders through the centuries

In connection with the fascination with murders and mysteries, it is interesting to occasionally delve into the history of poisoning murders. The accounts of some of the most spectacular cases through the ages are not only shocking, but also offer a glimpse into the human psyche. So Socrates was born in 399 BC. Condemned to death by hemlock beaker, a nerve-paralyzing poison that causes respiratory paralysis. His accusation was that he was sinning against the gods and corrupting the youth - a verdict that he himself brought about through his provocative attitude. Focus reports that Plato describes this death as philosophical and composed.

Another famous case is the death of Emperor Claudius, who died in 54 after eating a poisoned mushroom dish. Rumor has it that his wife Agrippina got rid of him in this way in order to secure the throne for her son Nero. Historical records of Claudius' violent vomiting and diarrhea suggest that he too was a victim of underhanded machinations.

The connection between tensions in the present and dramatic events of the past is grippingly reflected in “Murder in the Villa Kleist”. Directed by Oliver Muth and penned by author Jan Schröter, the audience is sure to be taken on an emotional roller coaster ride. The exciting cast around Dr. Christian Kleist (Francis Fulton-Smith) and Dr. Michael Sandmann (Luca Zamperoni) will delight the audience and get people talking.
