Irritating moments for "Rosenheim Cops" viewers: A fan favorite suddenly has a different job in the series – without any explanation.

Munich – The ZDF “Rosenheim Cops” have the main cast around the investigative team, around Michi Mohr (Max Müller) and Miriam Stockl (Marisa Burger).

Then there are the episode guests who only play for one episode, like a former child star from “Bibi Blocksberg” recently.

And there are a few characters who keep coming back in supporting roles.

This includes Hannes Winkler (Steffen Wolf).

Rosenheim Cops (ZDF): Fan favorite Hannes Winkler is always there in episodes

Winkler delivers parcels to the commissariat and likes to make eyes at Christin Lange (Sarah Thonig) with a Franconian accent.

Again and again he is woven into the story, for example when he drops a peat whiskey that police chief Gert Achtziger has been eagerly awaiting.

Or when he repairs secretary Stockl's filing cabinet with all sorts of glitches and causes her displeasure.

It has already been shown in the past that some fans appreciate the Franconian parcel carrier very much.

Winkler is also in the anniversary episode.

The episode "A Surprising Reunion" will air on Tuesday (January 25).

It is the 500th in the history of the series.

And next to Winkler, the married couple Annegret and Nerlinger (Eva Wittenzellner and Georg Veitl) reappear, the allotment garden neighbors of receptionist Marianne Grasegger (Ursula Maria Burkhart).

Rosenheim Cops (ZDF): Why is the parcel carrier suddenly a janitor?

But Winkler's weird appearance is more likely to cause discussions among fans.

Suddenly he is no longer a parcel carrier.

But caretaker!

With no subsequent explanation.

In his new job he waters the flowers.

And he carries a huge number three times into the reception area of ​​the police station.

First a 5, then a 0, then a 0 again. The action causes guesswork and great amazement for the "Rosenheim Cops" figures in the series.

And was probably the bizarre attempt by the script team to somehow get the "500" for the anniversary episode in the series.

A photo also landed on the Instagram and Facebook channels of the "Rosenheim Cops" before the episode was broadcast.

With the text "Well, what is our caretaker Mr. Winkler putting there in the background?

Do you have a guess?

You will find out next week what the number in the blue and white diamond pattern is all about.” The number is quickly explained.

But why is the parcel carrier suddenly the caretaker?

The irritation among some fans is great.

"Has Mr. Winkler retrained?", "How did the courier driver now become a janitor?", "Who wasn't a parcel carrier before?", "But he has blossomed from parcel carrier to janitor, whereby his repair work on Mrs. Stockl's filing cabinet has yes it took a really long time," he said in the comments.

There is more wonder.

“From parcel deliverer to caretaker in one season”, “How long has Mr. Winkler been working as a housekeeper in Rosenheim?

Giving up the parcel delivery job?” and “Since when is the parcel driver the caretaker?

Did I miss something?

Stockl was so dissatisfied with him when he repaired the shelf," write others.

A fan has a very clever theory: "In 14 days he'll definitely be the corpse, so you save further test costs because of Corona." Spoiler: Also in the following "Rosenheim Cops" episode on February 1st.

According to the program preview, Winkler is still there as caretaker.

Will he be part of the permanent cast in the future?

The first personal hammer for the next season has already been determined elsewhere.
