Arrest at the trash can: "Anna and her lodger" - A Stranger’s Collapse Sparks Chaos in Anna and Her Tenant’s Latest Episode
The fifth episode of Anna and Her Tenant airs tonight at 8:15 PM on ARD. Titled Full House, it follows Werner Kurtz as he takes in a young girl after her mother collapses in front of him. The story blends humour with deeper questions about kindness and responsibility. Michael Rowitz makes his directorial debut with this episode, while screenwriter Martin Rauhaus contributes his fifth script for the series. Golo Euler also joins the cast as Jens Schulte-Bräucker, adding to the fresh energy of the instalment. The episode begins with Kurtz, played by Ernst Stötzner, witnessing a young mother collapse in the street. Without hesitation, he takes her daughter home, setting off a chain of unexpected events. His decision leads to a clash between compassion and rigid rules—especially when his old friend Klaus Schneider, played by Max Herbrechter, grows suspicious of the child's sudden presence. Meanwhile, Kurtz's landlady, Anna Welsendorff (Katerina Jacob), supports his choice, despite the risks. Together, they avoid involving child services, even as the girl's father proves unreliable. The tension rises when Kurtz ends up under arrest—simply for taking out the trash. Beyond its entertaining plot, the episode encourages reflection on selfless care. It shows how setting aside personal convenience can lead to meaningful connections, even in difficult situations. Tonight's episode delivers both laughter and food for thought. Katerina Jacob and Ernst Stötzner bring authenticity to their roles, making the story's themes resonate. Viewers can watch Full House at 8:15 PM on ARD, with the episode also available later on the ARD Mediathek.
