A Rosenheim Goodbye After 25 Years
Wow. Twenty-five years. That’s a seriously long time to play the same character, especially when you’re the beloved Marisa Burger, and that character is the unforgettable Miriam Stockl in Die Rosenheim-Cops. It’s official: she’s leaving the show. Filming wrapped up at the end of March on season 25, and it feels like the end of an era, doesn't it?
I mean, honestly, who didn't love Miriam? Her exasperated "Es gabat a Leich!" ("There's a corpse!") became iconic. It was the show's tagline, a guaranteed chuckle, and just a part of the show's charm. Marisa’s portrayal became synonymous with Die Rosenheim-Cops – she practically was Miriam for a whole generation of German viewers.
Why the Departure?
According to Marisa, leaving wasn’t an easy decision. It sounds like she’s just ready for something new. It’s a huge commitment to spend a quarter of a century playing one role, no matter how much you love it! She’s stated that she’s looking forward to new creative opportunities. And who can blame her? After all that time, new challenges are understandable, right?
Fans will get one last chance to see Marisa as Miriam when the 25th season airs on ZDF this Autumn. Prepare for a whole lot of feels!
What's Next for Marisa?
Retirement? Nah! Marisa's already juggling new projects. She's been a jury member at the Biennale Bavaria International film festival (May 5-11, 2025) focusing on the theme of "Heimat" (home). She’s no stranger to the festival, having served previously in 2023. It's amazing to see her embrace this next chapter with such gusto. Clearly, there's a lot more to come from this talented actress. She wants to diversify her roles, proving her acting abilities go far beyond the beloved Miriam Stockl.
The Show Must Go On… But Will It Be the Same?
The future of Die Rosenheim-Cops without Marisa is, understandably, a bit up in the air. Producer Marlies Moosauer has promised a fitting send-off for Miriam Stockl. But fan reactions are varied – some think the show should end with Marisa’s departure, while others are curious to see who will take on such a big role. It’s going to be a tough act to follow. The show will continue with its core cast, including Anton Stadler, Sven Hansen, Kilian Kaya, and Julia Beck. But will it ever truly feel the same without Miriam's signature exasperation?
A Lasting Legacy
Marisa Burger's impact on Die Rosenheim-Cops is undeniable. Miriam Stockl will always be a beloved part of the show's history. Her departure is bittersweet, leaving a big hole, but it also opens doors to exciting new beginnings for both Marisa and the series itself. It’s kind of a turning point, isn’t it? We'll all be watching to see what the future holds.
