AWZ episode 4945 from May 6th, 2026 on RTL+ (on TV on May 13th, 2026)
Simone has accompanied her husband Richard in a Swiss hospice as he died independently. When she returns to Essen after his death, the German figure skating championships are just beginning. Simone decides to attend the opening, although her daughter Gabriella advises her to take it easy. But Simone has a special plan: “I would like to use this championship as an opportunity to make Richard’s death public.” And what's more: “I would like to dedicate this championship to Richard. After all, he was the one who brought the first competition here to Essen over three decades ago.” And so Simone opens the German championship with a very special speech. This scene can be seen in the video above.
