On Monday, March 17th, Anna R. announced on the Instagram channel that the singer and songwriter died surprisingly. The Berliner was 55 years old. A cause of death has not yet been named. Peter Plate, with whom she founded the Rockpop duo Rosenstolz in 1991, already let his grief run free on his account on Instagram. Numerous fans commented underneath and also showed their feelings. But the digital space doesn’t seem enough to pay tribute to Anna R..

Now a memorial in Berlin Charlottenburg was built for them. The Rosenstolz fan club has positioned a picture of the musician at the theater of the West. In their official statement, the fans explained exactly why this venue was selected as a starting point for mourners.

“Court, courage, goosebumps”

The fan club announced on the official Instagram account of Peter Plate: “You dear, yesterday the world stood still. When Anna’s news reached us, it was like someone had taken on the light-the light that shone so many years through her voice, its energy and unhappy passion for music. It feels unreal. Anna has given us so much, courage, laughing and tears. We will have these moments of the connection in 1997.

“Thank you, Anna”

A huge amount of (red) roses, other flowers, candles and other memorabilia were laid down in front of the concert and musical site in the Berlin City West. Letters to the deceased have also been filed there. In the right corner of the picture in XL format, a “thank you, Anna” can also be read. Since then, people have been pausing again and again.

The cause of death is still unclear

It has still not been announced what Anna R. died of. However, the first details of the ex-Rose Stolz singer seep through the first details.

The 55-year-old’s body was found in the attic apartment in Berlin-Friedrichshain. The police initiated death investigation. And immediately sealed the apartment door of Anna R. The “Bild” wants to have learned that an emergency call received the Berlin fire brigade on Sunday (March 16). At 7:24 p.m. one should be hurried to the apartment for a resuscitation. Who made the emergency call? Not known. Anna R. was already dead. And her death puts all the friends: inside the musician with a mystery. She had plans. A large tour of Germany was planned for October 2025. “Courage to love” was the name of the tour with 22 appointments and start on October 16 in Halle and graduation on November 23 in the Berlin Columbiahalle. What her ex-rose stolz colleague Peter Plate also referred to in his Instagram aftercall: Anna R should become Joseph-Breitbach-Poetik lecturers in Koblenz.
