Lilly Reulein from Neufahrn has made a name for herself with her role in the cult series "Dahoam is Dahoam".
Your second passion is soccer.
District
- When Lilly Reulein answers the phone, she says: "Wait a minute, I'm just before Buxtehude." The woman from Neufahrn is far from Lansing, the fictional location of the previous evening's cult series "Dahoam is Dahoam" on Bavarian TV (BR).
She is on a private trip to Germany.
The high school graduate became known throughout Bavaria for her acting role as Valentina Götz.
In addition, the 18-year-old is a passionate footballer, is usually part of the squad for the women's regional list FC Forstern, but has also tied her shoes for FC Bayern.
She now has plenty of time to travel.
Because both football and acting careers are resting.
Your role as the pregnant teenager is no longer intended for the moment.
“That's complicated too.
Because I played a pregnant woman, the producers would have to shoot me with a child - and that is very time-consuming, ”explains Reulein.
However, she does not consider a return to the popular cult series to be ruled out.
"At the moment I'm just pausing, something can definitely happen."
Lilly Reulein came to the role at the age of five and played until she was twelve.
In how many episodes in total she doesn't know exactly, "there were many".
The young actress says it has been around 30 since her return at Christmas 2019.
Filming in addition to graduation
The shooting always ran alongside the football and especially the school.
Reulein, who has been living in Neufahrn for some time, did her Abitur in the cathedral city of Freising at the FOS.
“That was quite a burden and my schedule was extremely tight,” she emphasizes.
But it was always a lot of fun.
It was by no means easy: "We shot three to four times a week." We went to school in the mornings and to the set in the afternoons.
In between, text was studied diligently.
“It was also a demanding role.
I first had to deal with a pregnancy, ”says Reulein, who loves acting.
Football was therefore often behind.

Reulein actually comes from Aschheim, where he played for ten years as a youth.
"This is my heart club," says the midfielder.
“I always felt comfortable there.” But that also applies to almost all other stations.
Reulein loves and lives the team spirit.
From Aschheim, the U15 age group went to SpVgg Markt Schwabener Au, where the strong running girl helped out in the U17.
She especially remembered her second year as a C junior.
Because in the 2016/17 season she managed a kind of triple with SpVgg: championship title, overall victory at an international tournament in Spain (“Copa Catalunya”) and defending the title at the Ebersberg District Cup.
“It was an amazing season.
We won the regional league with 100: 1 goals. ”She herself played in the 10th position and mainly played teammate Anna Formanski, with whom she then went to the U17 team of FC Bayern Munich (“ A dream of mine ”), to which she remained loyal for two years.
But Reulein missed the boat due to an injury in the first year.
She only played sporadically and did not specialize in any position.
She also lacked the team spirit.
"And I didn't want to become a professional."

The next change followed.
At first she wanted to go back to Aschheim, but after a trial session with regional league team FC Forstern, she went to the district of Erding.
“These are great girls who play football excellently,” says Reulein.
"Playing third division with a village club is an outstanding mixture." She belongs to the squad of the first, but could not keep up with the level due to the lack of training.
She currently plays mainly in the second in the regional league ("Here I get practice"), but also in the third, a syndicate with Hohenlinden.
Due to Corona, she missed her girls, the regularity of training and the feeling of being on the pitch.
"Jogging is not so much fun for me," explains Reulein, "I would much rather have the ball on my feet again." Perhaps she also misses the teasing within the team that she is exposed to "in a lovely way".
“I am called by my series name Valentina or asked about my pregnancy.
Would I be able to play again after the delivery? "
Fan mail to the clubhouse
But the young woman also receives other expressions of love in Forstern: fan mail.
“I have already received a few letters that were simply sent to the clubhouse.
That's funny, ”said the actress, who conscientiously answered all letters.
“We were often asked for current autograph cards.
But I don't have any, so I'm going and have printed out and signed photos myself in the drugstore. "
But since school has been completed, the acting career of the budding civil servant has also been suspended.
Lilly Reulein would like to start a police training in autumn 2021.
In addition, football is known to be in lockdown and winter break.
She uses the time to buy a car and explore Germany.
“I see what I feel like doing and decide quite spontaneously,” she says with a laugh.
The only condition: “I have to be home again for Christmas, otherwise there'll be trouble.” It doesn't matter whether she's returning from Buxtehude, Forstern or Lansing.
