Borowski-Star Returns in a Sunday Crime Thriller - Maren Eggert shines as a desperate mother in *Tatort: Licht*’s gripping return

Maren Eggert returns to German television screens in Tatort: Licht, playing a mother in desperate search for her missing daughter. The role marks another standout performance in her long career, spanning crime dramas, arthouse films, and theatre. Known for her emotional depth, Eggert brings a raw intensity to each project she undertakes.

Eggert first became a household name as police psychologist Frieda Jung in the Kiel-based Tatort series. Between 2003 and 2010, her character served as Borowski’s moral compass, blending professional detachment with personal involvement. One of her most memorable episodes, Tatort: Borowski und die Rückkehr des stillen Gastes (2015), showcased this duality as her boundaries blurred under pressure.

Eggert’s career continues to bridge television, film, and stage with equal skill. Her ability to convey deep emotion—whether as a grieving mother or a conflicted psychologist—keeps her in demand. The release of Gavagai will further cement her reputation as one of Germany’s most versatile actors.
