Marisa Burger leaves The Rosenheim Cops: A farewell with vision!

The program “Gefragt – Gejagt” offered an exciting quiz event on June 30, 2025, when presenter Alexander Bommes asked a challenging question about the cult series “The Rosenheim Cops”. Candidate Marion Koschel showed impressive knowledge and answered “Stockl” without hesitation when it came to the long-standing role of Marisa Burger, who plays police secretary Miriam. Bommes, who has hosted the show since 2012, was clearly thrilled with Koschel's quick access to this expertise. The ZDF crime series, in which Burger has been appearing for 25 years now, is a popular television classic not only in Germany, but also in Austria.

The role of Miriam Stockl is inextricably linked to Burger. This became famous for its pithy sentence: “Es gabat a Leich,” which can be heard in every episode. The ZDF series, whose first episode was broadcast in 2000, has won countless fans over the years and shows that actress Barisse Burger is a fixture on German television. She will be in front of the camera for “Rosenheim Cops” until October 2025 and delight viewers.

A step into the future

However, Burger is planning new professional challenges after her departure. Although she can't announce any specific projects at the moment, she expressed optimism about what may come. “The most important thing is to listen to your own heart,” she said, while emphasizing the certainty of making your own decisions responsibly. She will also be a jury member at the Bavaria International Biennale in May 2025 - a task that could bring a breath of fresh air into her career.

The actress is determined to take on new roles and develop her talent in other contexts. The 25th season of “Rosenheim Cops” will be broadcast in autumn 2025, in which, among others, inspectors Anton Stadler, Sven Hansen, Kilian Kaya and Julia Beck as well as police chief Michi Mohr appear together. A series that is conscious of tradition and yet open to new things, that is the exciting combination that drives Burger and her team.

Cultural heritage and lasting memories

The “Rosenheim Cops” not only shined with their exciting crime stories, but also with the portrayal of memorable characters that captivated the audience. These include well-known faces such as city councilor Marie Hofer and police director Gert Achtziger. In this lovingly staged crime thriller world, in which the late actress Lilly Forgach will also appear posthumously in future episodes, viewers can sense how strong the connection between these characters and the audience has grown over many years.

Over her long career, Marisa Burger has not only perfected the art of acting, but also built a special relationship with her audience. Her decision to leave “Rosenheim Cops” was not easy for her, as the show is an essential part of her life, both personally and professionally. Nevertheless, she is excited about the possibilities ahead and promises that the stories she tells in the future will be no less gripping.

Overall, the latest developments show that one constant remains in the jungle of ratings and formats: viewers love their “Rosenheim Cops” and the distinctive characters. Burger not only represents an era, but also a bold step into a new, exciting chapter in her career.
