A lot of people know her as Stella from the ZDF series "Frühling." We talk about how she landed the role, the casting process, her first day on set (which just happened to fall on her birthday), and what it's like to play a character who isn't always easy to like.

A First Interview About Acting, Responsibility, and the Person Behind a TV Character
This episode is more than just a conversation with a young actress on a well-known show. It shows how early real responsibility can start when you're in front of the camera, memorizing lines, playing emotional scenes, and still going to school like any other kid.
That's exactly what gives the conversation its honesty. We get into her first experiences on set, the nerves, dealing with criticism, and the challenge of playing a character who doesn't win over every single viewer.
At the same time, you get a fresh look at Bayrischzell as a filming location and a place to experience, seen through the eyes of a young actress for whom all of this is still new, and therefore refreshingly unguarded. If you want to explore the show's filming locations yourself, you'll find every spot on the overview page.
What Sticks With You From This Conversation
Getting Cast on a Well-Known Series
Katharina talks about how she landed the role, the casting, and a first day of filming that happened to fall on her birthday, an unusual start that stays with you.
How Young Actors Deal With Criticism
One of the most interesting parts is the question of how you handle it when a character you play isn't always well-liked, all while you're still right in the middle of an ordinary school routine.
Emotional Scenes and Real Responsibility
The episode makes it clear that, even for young performers, acting is about far more than reciting lines. It takes focus, real emotion, and the ability to stay present in demanding moments.
Between School, the Film Set, and a Character Who Isn't Everyone's Favorite
In her first interview, Katharina speaks openly about how she came to the role of Stella and what it felt like to step into an established series like "Frühling." That unfiltered perspective is what makes the conversation special, because nothing here is polished or rehearsed. It comes straight out of an experience that's still brand new to her.
We talk about her first days of shooting, working through the script, doing multiple takes, and preparing for emotional scenes. It also becomes clear that acting at this age comes with something extra: school, everyday life, and figuring out how to handle reactions from the outside world.
That's where the episode really finds its weight. Because it doesn't just show the world behind the scenes of "Frühling," it also shows what responsibility feels like when you suddenly become visible as a young actress, caught between Berlin and Bayrischzell, between a role and real life.

Why This Episode Is More Than Just a Chat About a TV Role
At first glance, this looks like an episode for "Frühling" fans. But it's actually more interesting than that, because it reveals something you rarely get to see on TV: just how much courage, focus, and maturity are asked of young actresses when they become part of a well-known series.
That's exactly why this conversation stays with you. It pairs a look behind the scenes with genuine warmth and makes one thing clear: acting isn't just cameras and glamour. More often, it's about learning, holding your ground, and growing into a role, in front of the camera and maybe a little beyond it, too.
