Marisa Burger Leaves 'Rosenheim‑Cops' After 25 Seasons, Decries Cost Cuts and Sets 2026 Stage Return

She will return to the stage with a lead in Kleine Verbrechen unter Liebenden, premiering on 27 February 2026 at Hamburg’s Winterhuder Fährhaus.

Overview

  • The ongoing 25th season is her final run on ZDF’s Die Rosenheim‑Cops, a role she has played since the first episode.
  • At an AZ‑Sofa talk in Munich, Burger confirmed she chose to depart to pursue theatre work.
  • She criticized long‑term resource reductions, saying per‑episode shooting time fell from about 12 days in 2000 to roughly 6.3 today.
  • Burger also faulted pay practices in the pre‑evening format, citing low entry fees for newcomers, capped fees for veterans, and no inflation adjustments.
  • She has a lead opposite Jan Sosniok with performances planned in Berlin and Hamburg, with rehearsals starting soon and a run scheduled through April.
