Mourning for Marina Kunzi: Rudersberger leaves a lasting impression

Marina Kunzi, an esteemed crime writer and actress from Rudersberg, died on May 3, 2025 at the age of 60. This sad loss came just days after her birthday and followed a serious illness that accompanied her in her final days. Your skills on stage, be it in Theater cart Schlechtbach or in Theater at Rosenbergle, have touched many people in the region. Mayor Raimon Ahrens praised her passion for acting and emphasized that she played her roles with a lot of Swabian passion.

Kunzi was not only an actress, but also a talented author who was known for her crime novels with local color. The last work she worked on was “Special Operations Mallorca – Deadly Holiday Paradise”. This story, which she presented on the roof terrace of the Mocca billiards café, was accompanied by a summery ambience and cocktails. This was her first reading since 2017, when she read from “Special Operation Waldenstein Castle”.

A homage to Mallorca

In the new story, which was important for many of her fans, there is a crisis at the beginning between the protagonists, Hannah Berger and Lu Odermatt. The plot begins in a hairdressing salon in Alfdorf and takes the characters to Mallorca, where they plan a wedding. Important elements of the story include a body being found on a deserted beach and the kidnapping of a girl. The special charm of the book lies in the descriptions of various places on Mallorca that Hanna Lu shows, including El Arenal.

The wedding, which is the focus of the story, is threatened by a murderer and Hannah is kidnapped. This leads to an exciting search by Lu and the wedding party. While the resolution remains unclear, there are signs of a potential happy ending. This work was supposed to be the final volume of the special mission series, but Kunzi planned to continue writing and devoting himself to literature.
