Stefanie Reinsperger is departing the Dortmund "Tatort" series after eleven cases as Commissioner Rosa Herzog, a decision she made voluntarily. Her final episode, titled "Schmerz," has been highly praised, earning a rating of 9 out of 10 points. Reinsperger described her time on the show as intense, educational, and wonderful, expressing that a part of her will remain with her character, Dortmund, and her colleague, Commissioner Faber, played by Jörg Hartmann. Hartmann also lauded Reinsperger's contributions to the series and stated he will miss her as a colleague and person. The article notes that while Herzog does not die in her final appearance, it does not conclude with a traditional happy ending, reflecting the character's complex relationship with Faber, who ultimately became her sole friend. Reinsperger will now return to the Vienna Burgtheater as a permanent ensemble member for the 2024/25 season.
