Farewell after 13 years: Ben Berger is leaving Rote Rosen”!
Big changes are coming to the popular ARD telenovela “Rote Rosen”, which has been delighting audiences in its afternoon program for almost 20 years. On June 19, 2025, Hakim-Michael Meziani, who has played the role of Ben Berger for 13 years, will make his last appearance in episode 4184. This reports moin.de. The character Ben Berger says goodbye together with his partner Tina, played by Katja Frenzel, who, however, leaves the series under different circumstances.
Hakim-Michael Meziani has decided to breathe new life into his career. He wants to take on new challenges and leave the “hamster wheel” of daily filming behind him ruhr24.de reported. The actor already has plans for the future: He will concentrate entirely on his rum brand “Alder Rum”, which he founded together with his friend Harry Geiseler. Hakim describes his time at “Rote Rosen” as pleasant; it felt less like work to him and more like a beautiful chapter in his life.
A farewell with perspectives
Ben and Tina, his series character, say goodbye together by opening a biker café in Wendland. This new adventure represents Hakim's desire to spend more time with his family and pursue his business ambitions. The fact that Katja Frenzel, who plays the role of Tina, is not leaving the series voluntarily and her departure theoretically leaves room for a comeback adds an interesting twist to the situation.
As “Rote Rosen” prepares for the summer break, which begins on June 27th, other changes are also on the horizon. The series, on the air since 2006, not only shows the dramas and passions of a variety of characters, but is also affected by a "clearcut", such as tvserien.de reported. In the coming episodes, several main actors will be replaced. Lara-Isabelle Rentinck, who appeared as Amelie Fährmann for six years, will also be leaving the series. Jerry Kwarteng, who spent four years as Dr. Hendrik Althaus was also written out of the plot.
The future of “Red Roses”
ARD has responded to the need for new storylines and plans to continue the 23rd season of “Rote Rosen” on November 22nd. Viewers can look forward to new main actors and exciting developments. Lea Marlen Woitack will follow in the footsteps of the traditional characters as Svenja Jablonski, while Vivian Frey is new to the ensemble as Arthur Kaiser. Alessia Mazzola, Francesco Oscar Schramm and Sarah Buchholzer will also be seen in other roles.
The series needs fresh ideas and changes to continue winning the hearts of fans. The farewell to Hakim-Michael Meziani represents another serious change. The anticipation of the new stories and characters is certainly one reason why “Rote Rosen” still has a place in the hearts of viewers after all these years.
