Karin Thaler reveals her moving life: horror years and courage!
The people of Cologne and their neighbors can look forward to exciting news: the popular actress Karin Thaler, best known as Marie Hofer from the ZDF seriesThe Rosenheim Cops, has published a new book. Under the title “Strong because I had to be strong” she reports on her personal challenges and the depths of her life. Thaler worked on this work for almost two years to come to terms with her eventful past. In her words, she describes the dark times she went through despite her public image as a “clean lady” and wants to encourage people not to give up in difficult situations. Her strained relationship with her gambling addict mother, who died in 2022 after a long struggle and was no longer able to see the publication of her book, was particularly painful.
The new episodes ofThe Rosenheim Copsair on Tuesdays at 7:25 p.m. on ZDF. Here Thaler appears again in her usual role and always brings freshness to the crime series.
A look behind the scenes
In her book, Thaler reveals that she went through some “horror years” in her childhood and youth. These experiences shaped her and motivated her to tell her story. “I want others to see that you can get out of the deepest valleys,” she says. Their reports are not only moving, but also show their strength and ability for self-reflection. Thaler opens up and gives insights into a life that was anything but glamorous.
Karin Thaler shows that even celebrities are not immune to personal problems. Her book is not only an autobiography, but also a powerful plea for perseverance in difficult times. She wants to use her story to give others hope and encourage them to face and overcome the challenges of life.
A couple of interesting parallels
They both share the strength to fight through difficult times, even when their circumstances are completely different. While Thaler tackles the challenges of real life, the manga character Karin navigates the world of ninja with her own challenges and adventures.
