The Rosenheim Cops” Season 25: Marisa Burger’s emotional farewell!

A lot is happening in the Bavarian television landscape: The popular ZDF series “The Rosenheim Cops” is entering its 25th season! On October 7, 2025, the show, which has produced 578 episodes and several specials since its launch on January 9, 2002, will provide entertainment again. It starts every Tuesday at 7:25 p.m. But not everything stays the same, because with this season one of the series' veterans is saying goodbye: Marisa Burger, who played the role of police secretary Miriam Stockl for over 25 years, will be leaving the series after the current filming.

In the first two episodes that will be broadcast in the new season, viewers can expect an exciting crime thriller. In the first episode, the bakery owner Traudi Arlberger is murdered, with both her niece and neighboring hoteliers becoming the focus of the investigation. In the second episode, the museum director Johannes Lechhuber becomes the victim of a murder, with the suspects including his wife and his deputy. This promises a lot of excitement for fans of the series to look forward to.

Farewell with sadness

Marisa Burger, who has achieved cult status among fans over the years with her famous line “Es gabat a Leich”, says goodbye to her role with a heavy heart. When asked about her exit, the 51-year-old explains that although she is very attached to the series, she wants to explore new creative paths. In order not to have any regrets about missed opportunities at the age of 60, she thought carefully about this decision. Her colleague Igor Jeftić, with whom she has been friends for over 30 years, was shocked by the news. There is a family atmosphere on set, and the farewell will certainly be emotional for everyone involved. Producer Elisabeth Villotti has already announced that she wants to create a nice setting for Burger's exit.
