Die Rosenheim-Cops is a German television series set in Chiemgau, mainly in Rosenheim.

[2] The series' main overall focus lies on the contrasting personalities of a rustic Upper Bavarian small town inspector and his frequently replaced city slicker colleague, who has usually been transferred to the town for mostly incomprehensible reasons.

The small town inspector Korbinian Hofer was played by Joseph Hannesschläger, who died in January 2020.

These side stories are almost always in no way connected to the murder investigation the main story commonly consists of and may feature any kind of potentially humorous scenario, from an unexpected lottery win to more general events like comedic occurrences at the police office or on a farm.

This kind of general writing scheme is exceedingly characteristic for early-evening crime shows on German public television.
