Overview
- Alexander Duda confirmed he will stop appearing on Rosenheim‑Cops after the current season and said the choice came from the production and ZDF rather than from him.
- Duda has played Polizeidirektor Gert Achtziger since 2006 and has been a regular on the show for about 20 years.
- He proposed keeping Achtziger as an occasional retired figure on the series but said that idea was not taken up by the makers.
- His final episode was written around his character, will for the first time show Achtziger's wife, and filming ended with an emotional farewell from Duda.
- Duda says he holds no grudge and plans to keep working on screen and stage while the production's reference to civil‑service retirement at 67 highlights how age and role plausibility shape long‑running TV casts.
