In Crime Time, the public prosecutor's office, forensic medicine, police and profilers talk about Hessian criminal cases that they won't soon forget. How do they manage to catch the perpetrators? How do real murderers think?

The story begins on a tiny island called Morrowland, which has just enough space for a small palace, a train station and rails all around the island, a grocery store, a small house, a king, two subjects, a locomotive named Emma, and a locomotive engineer by the name of Luke.



15 year old Leo and his friends Lollo and Lisa work on his ingenious inventions to help the city’s rulers, the Medicis, from the traps and ploys of a mysterious Conspirator.





In November 1775, an officer of the Hessian army deserts from Ziegenhayn fortress. Captain Claus von Haynau is keen on capturing the man, but his plans are foiled by his half-brother, Robert. The deserter turns out to be one Soermann, a former friend of Robert's father who disappeared 20 years ago and is presumed dead. Now, Robert finally learns what really happened: His father did not die but went to America. Robert decides to follow, but has not counted on Claus - and on the Landgrave of Hesse's need for soldiers to sell to the British for the fight against the rebellious American colonists.






Giraffe, Erdmännchen & Co. is a German television series.
