Marie-Luise Marjan Celebrates 85th Birthday Amidst Health Challenges
Marie-Luise Marjan, the beloved German actress known for her iconic role as Helga Beimer in the long-running TV series "Lindenstraße," turns 85 on August 9, 2022. Despite facing health challenges, Marjan remains a significant figure in German TV culture.
Born in Essen and raised in Hattingen, Marjan's acting career began after studying at the Hamburg State Music Academy. She stood on theater stages for about 20 years before transitioning to television. Her television work includes several TV films, often playing mothers, such as in Wolfgang Petersen's "Smog" (1973).
After the end of "Lindenstraße" in 2020, Marjan faced a severe femoral neck fracture. She has undergone five operations and, as a result, has had to slow down in her daily life. She now includes a nap in her routine and goes swimming to stay mobile.
Post-"Lindenstraße," no specific new acting roles or projects have been publicly listed as of 2025. However, Marjan's continued cultural relevance is evident, with media coverage and birthday acknowledgments demonstrating ongoing public interest and respect.
Marie-Luise Marjan moved to Bonn two years ago and lives in the former diplomat quarter of Bad Godesberg. She watches news broadcasts daily and is concerned about the state of the world. Despite her health challenges, she still enjoys giving readings and connecting with her audience.
Marjan's long-term partner passed away in 2021, and she lost her half-brother in 2024, whom she only met in 2007. The Helga Beimer she embodied since 1985 was already her 25th mother role. She played "Mother Beimer" in the ARD series "Lindenstraße" for 35 years.
Marie-Luise Marjan's birthday celebration will be attended by 85 guests, reflecting her desire to celebrate her 85th year with a special gathering. Despite her health challenges and the end of her long-running TV series, Marjan remains a beloved figure in German TV culture.
