Rosenheim becomes a crime thriller hotspot: starting start of the Rosenheim-Cops!
A hot Junimontag in Rosenheim announces the shooting of the 25th season of the popular ZDF series "Rosenheim-Cops". At the town hall, the central location of the series, numerous fans and onlookers gather who are eagerly waiting to see her favorite commissioner Anton Stadler, played by Dieter Fischer. The fascination for the series is unbroken; Mayor Andreas März emphasizes that the city has had at least 100,000 participants in city tours for the original films since the beginning of the broadcast. Again and again the fans search for the locations and often approach him with questions.
The series, which is known for its outstanding information rate of 100 percent, is described as a real tourist magnet and location advantage for Rosenheim. The picturesque landscape of Chiemgau, which can be seen regularly, contributes to attraction as well as the charming locations such as Max-Josefs-Platz and the inn "Zum Johann Auer". Over the years, many of the magnificent town houses on Max-Josefs-Platz and their shops, including "Mode Adlmaier" and "Jeweler Krumtünger", have played a role in various crime cases of the series.
A look into the action
The episode “Rosenheim Secrets” focuses on a young city guide who is murdered by an older colleague. The tension rises when the body is found behind the Marian column. These types of gripping storylines, also known as B-plots, contribute significantly to the success of the series, as producer Marlies Moosauer emphasizes. Extras who specialize in portraying corpses ensure that the murder scenes gain additional tension.
Not to be forgotten are the other shocking twists in the series, such as the death of a tourist during a city tour in a rickshaw in the episode “Murder in the Rickshaw”, in which the murder is discovered right in front of the Mittertor. Looking at the tower of St. Nicholas Church, which also appears regularly in the films, it becomes clear that each episode of the series is closely interwoven with local conditions.
Changes in the cast
Another interesting aspect is the farewell to Marisa Burger, who is stepping down from her role as Ms. Stockl in the 25th season. At the same time, the legacy of Joseph Hannesschläger, who died in 2020 and previously held the role of commissioner, will be continued by Dieter Fischer.
Rosenheim is a city that benefits from monthly series production and pursues a clear strategy to maintain the tourist interest. So it remains to be seen how the new twists and fresh faces in the cast will captivate the audience in the upcoming season. The filming is not only an opportunity to cheer, but also show how closely a city can be associated with its film history. Interest comes to an end, and the Rosenheim cops remain an integral part of regional culture and identity.
