"The latest addition to the Rosenheim Police Department is Mrs. Stockl."
In an exciting turn of events, actress Sarah Thonig is set to take over as the new secretary in the long-running German police series, "Die Rosenheim-Cops". This change will occur starting from the 26th season of the show.

Burger's departure from the show is at her own request, marking the end of a remarkable 25-year tenure in the series. Her last episodes will be broadcast in the final episodes of season 25.
Thonig, who has been part of the "Rosenheim-Cops" ensemble since 2014, has been a familiar face to fans as Christin Lange at the reception. Her move to the police secretariat desk promises to bring fresh dramatic possibilities to the show.
The ZDF has announced that Thonig will be taking over as the new secretary in the upcoming season. The change in the secretariat is expected to open up new dramatic possibilities for the series.
Starting September 30, new episodes of "Rosenheim-Cops" will be available in the ZDF media library and ZDF app. The new episodes will also be aired on television starting October 7.
Burger's departure is not the only change in the series. Dieter Fischer and Igor Jeftić will return for the upcoming season, joining Thonig in the police bureau.
