“Monaco Franze”, “Kir Royal”, “Frau Ella”: Ruth Maria Kubitschek was the wise lady of German television – who always gave you the feeling that she could do things differently. An obituary.
It is said that memory glorifies the past so that people are not imprisoned in it, but perhaps that is only part of the truth. Perhaps we remember the good things so intensely because they are more interesting than the small, low and mean. In any case, if you close your eyes and think of Ruth Maria Kubitschek's face, you immediately feel a warmth. The aftereffects of a smile that you once had on your face during scenes with her.
