Marisa Burger Bids Farewell to "Die Rosenheim-Cops" After 25 Years
After a remarkable 25-year run, beloved German actress Marisa Burger is leaving her iconic role as police secretary Miriam Stockl in the ZDF series "Die Rosenheim-Cops." Her departure, following the completion of the 25th season (filming began March 31, 2025), marks the end of an era for the long-running crime series. While fans express sadness, Burger's new ventures promise exciting developments for her career.
A Quarter Century of "Es gabat a Leich!"
Since 2000, Burger's portrayal of Miriam Stockl, known for her signature line "Es gabat a Leich!" ("There's a corpse!"), has become synonymous with the show. Her dedication and talent have made her a household name in Germany. The decision to leave wasn't easy, Burger has stated, but the desire to explore new creative opportunities drove her choice. The 25th season, airing on ZDF in Autumn 2025, will offer fans a final chance to enjoy her memorable performance.
New Beginnings: The Biennale Bavaria International and Beyond
Burger's departure isn't a retirement. She's already embraced a new role as a jury member at the Biennale Bavaria International film festival (May 5-11, 2025), focusing on "Heimat" (home). This isn't her first time at the festival; she previously served on the jury in 2023. Her future plans remain open, with a clear desire to take on diverse roles and further showcase her versatility. She hopes her successor in "Die Rosenheim-Cops" will approach the role with the same enthusiasm she brought to it for 25 years.
The Future of "Die Rosenheim-Cops"
The show's future without Burger is uncertain. Producer Marlies Moosauer promises a "worthy farewell" for Miriam Stockl. Fan reactions are mixed, with some suggesting the series should end without her, while others speculate on potential replacements. The show will continue, however, with its core cast, including Anton Stadler, Sven Hansen, Kilian Kaya, and Julia Beck.
A Legacy of "Heimat" and "Leich"
Marisa Burger's contribution to "Die Rosenheim-Cops" is undeniable. Her character, Miriam Stockl, became a beloved part of the show's fabric. While her departure leaves a void, it also marks a new chapter, not just for her, but for the series as well. Her legacy is one of dedication, talent, and the enduring spirit of Bavarian charm. Fans eagerly await the final season and the new adventures that await this accomplished actress.
