Stefan Mross moved to tears during ‘Immer wieder sonntags’ tribute
During a recent live broadcast of the ARD music show ‘Immer wieder sonntags’ in Rust, host Stefan Mross was moved to tears following a surprise tribute from actress Ronja Forcher. Forcher, who has been reporting on the ‘Herzensmenschen’ initiative, presented Mross with a special ‘Herzensmensch’ pin and praised his dedication and impact on viewers.
The emotional moment comes amidst the announced conclusion of the long-running Schlager program. ARD previously stated that the show, which has aired for over 30 years, would end after the current season due to budget cuts and a strategic shift toward younger audiences and digital formats.
Despite the official cancellation, Mross expressed optimism during the broadcast that the format might continue in some capacity. However, industry insiders suggest the end is firm, noting that no other broadcaster has currently stepped in to take over the production.
