Actor Rainer Hunold Retires from 'Der Staatsanwalt' to Focus on Sculpture

Celebrating his 75th birthday, Hunold shifts his focus from acting to his passion for sculpture as he concludes his role in the popular series.

Rainer Hunold, known for his role as Oberstaatsanwalt Bernd Reuther, will retire from the ZDF series 'Der Staatsanwalt' after the 2024 season.
Hunold plans to dedicate more time to sculpture, a passion he pursued even before completing his acting studies.
The actor has previously exhibited his sculptures and participated in charity auctions for SOS Children's Villages.
