Under the leadership of First Chief Inspector Jan Reuter, Chief Inspector Lars Pöhlmann, Chief Inspector Karoline Joost, and Chief of Police Paula Moorkamp, a police team investigates criminal cases in the north German town of Wismar. Assisting the team are forensic scientist Roswitha Prinzler, Latvian exchange officer Edgars "Eddi" Jansons, and coroner Helene Sturbeck.
SOKO Wismar is produced by Real Film Berlin, a subsidiary of Studio Hamburg. Filming takes place both in Wismar and its surroundings as well as in Berlin. The World Heritage Sites of Wismar's old town and its harbour often serve as filming locations. The entrance to the police station is actually the entrance to the Hospital of the Holy Ghost. The inside of the station is filmed at Adlershof Studios, in Berlin.[1]
On 3 April 2013, five SOKO teams were brought together for a five-part special titled SOKO – Der Prozess. In it, the teams from Munich, Cologne, Leipzig, Stuttgart, and Wismar have to solve the murder of a police officer. The five episodes were shown across Germany from 30 September to 4 October 2013.
