Petra Kleinert bids farewell to "SOKO Leipzig". After ten years, the actress is turning her back on the ZDF series and her role as Dagmar Schnee.
Leipzig – Passionate crime fans certainly don't want to miss Petra Kleinert (56) as Chief Inspector Dagmar Schnee today, but after a whole decade, her farewell to the brave investigators at "SOKO Leipzig" is now imminent. Her time in the cult ZDF series is coming to an end, but the former "Tatort" actress will still remain in the German-language crime landscape.
"I liked her very much": Petra Kleinert leaves "SOKO Leipzig" after ten years
As the first spin-off of the ZDF series of the same name, "SOKO Leipzig" has thrilled an audience of millions for 22 years. In addition to the sworn main cast around Melanie Marschke (53) and Marco Girnth (53), Petra Kleinert has been part of the party since the 13th season, but is now surprisingly drawing a line. The current season of the hit series will be her last appearance as Dagmar Schnee, as various media refer to an interview of the actress with the magazine "Superillu".
"I liked her very much," quotes t-online.de Petra Kleinert, who nevertheless does not seem to rule out a possible reunion with Dagmar Schnee. "She's asleep now, so to speak. Maybe she'll wake up at some point, but that's not going to happen for the time being."
