Roland Kaiser

The actor and musician turns 65 on March 26, 2025. Time for a portrait. Axel Prahl is known to a wide audience for his role as Chief Inspector Frank Thiel in the popular “Tatort” series from Münster, a character he has embodied with gruff charm since 2002.

He has never been more successful than he is today: in 2024, Roland Kaiser broke all audience records on his sold-out anniversary tour, was awarded his third Golden Hen, honored with four stamps of his own, and immortalized as a wax figure. And in 2025, the charismatic singer and entertainer is once again in top creative form—among other things, with the release of his new LP “Marathon.” In 2025, Kaiser will also be seen on the big screen for the first time.

For Marko, life mainly consists of frozen pizzas and back pain. For almost 30 years, the widower has been hauling frozen goods for the company "Eisland" to the front doors of his mostly older customers. When Marko has to take early retirement due to illness, his life gets into imbalance. Thereby Marko has only one goal: his studying son should have it better one day. Lawyer or judge, that would be something. The main thing is no work where you have to wear a name tag. The decease of an old female customer unexpectedly opens up a whole new business model for Marko. Unfortunately, he reckoned without the nosy neighbors. To make matters worse, his own son also finds out about it. Marko's house of cards threatens to collapse. Then he meets his idol Roland Kaiser at the bar.

Roland Kaiser has invited a wide range of well-known artists, such as Ronan Keating, Adel Tawil, Glasperlenspiel, Wolfgang Niedecken and BAP, Maite Kelly, Ben Zucker, Sarah Zucker, Santiano, Annett Louisan, Jeanette Biedermann, Max Raabe, David Garrett, Götz Alsmann, Sotiria, Oonagh, Joel Brandenstein and the German Television Ballet, for his new music show. They will not only present their own love songs, but also perform extraordinary duets with the host. Love is probably the most frequently sung about theme in music. It gives people the strength to overcome many things, to accompany them in good times and to carry them through difficult times.
