ZEIT Verbrechen is one of the most successful true crime podcasts in the German-speaking world.
Sabine Rückert, founder of the podcast and editor of ZEIT Verbrechen magazine, has been a crime reporter and expert on crime and crime fighting for many years. She attends major criminal trials, writes award-winning court reports, and investigates unimaginable criminal cases. With her colleague Andreas Sentker, Managing editor of DIE ZEIT and publisher of the
magazine ZEIT WISSEN, she discusses relevant criminal cases from a variety of perspectives: those of the perpetrators, the victims, the witnesses, and the investigators.
The ›Music and Crime‹ series, which the DSO launched jointly with DIE ZEIT publishing group in 2023 was also an immediate hit with the public; the concerts were sold out in no time. In the 2026/2027 season, Rückert and Sentker will once again present turbulent crime stories live on the stage of the Great Broadcast Hall in the Haus des Rundfunks; they will be supported by a mystery-loving chamber music ensemble of the DSO.
