“In All Friendship” runs with unbroken success. Many of the stars have been there from the beginning, others have unfortunately already passed away, whom we miss.

Other popular actors of the ARD series have already died. We remember them.
Hendrikje Fitz was Pia Heilmann
On April 7, 2016, Hendrikje Fitz died of cancer at the age of 54. She was in the first episode “In aller Freundlich” and then almost played 18 years the wife of Dr. Roland Heilman.
Her character Pia died during a landslide in Siena (Italy).
Ursula Karusseit was Charlotte Gauss

Like Fitz, Ursula Karusseit was a star from the very beginning. Until episode 847 she played Charlotte Gauss. The actress died in Berlin on February 1, 2019 at the age of 79.
“Ursula Karusseit was not only the good soul of the series, but also of the entire team at the ‘Sachsenklinik’. The young colleagues in particular treated the experienced actress with great respect. We mourn the loss of a full-blooded actress,” said MDR television film boss Jana Brandt back then.
Charlotte Gauss, tenant of the cafeteria in the Sachsenklinik, died on Tenerife.

From episode 25 to 296, Fred Delmare played Friedrich Steinbach, the husband of Charlotte Gauss, father of Pia Heilmann and father-in-law of Dr. Roland Heilman. On May 1, 2009, shortly after his 87th birthday, the popular actor died of complications from pneumonia.
His “In All Friendship” character Friedrich Steinbach died at the age of 83 from old age.
