Gone Too Soon: Miriam Pielhau, a Shining Star in German TV
- валюShe'd hit the big 50 today, but fate had other plans for Miriam Pielhau. At just 41, she left an indelible mark on German television, battling cancer with determination and grace. Born in 1975, this vibrant and engaging personality made a name for herself as a versatile host, journalist, and author.
Small Screen Queen
Venerated figure, Miriam Pielhau, departed prematurely but continues to be remembered fondly - Beloved Miriam Pielhau, who tragically passed away prematurely, will forever remain etched in our memories.
She kicked off her television career in 1998 with GIGA, an online TV channel that marked the beginning of her journey in the world of entertainment. Pielhau quickly gained popularity as the host of "taff" from 2002 to 2005, a position that remains a significant part of her legacy. Her engaging style and vibrant personality captivated audiences, and she continued to carve her niche in the industry by hosting shows like "Big Brother"[2][5].
A Warrior Until the End
In the spring of 2008, Pielhau was diagnosed with breast cancer, a battle she faced head-on. She was open about her struggles and advocated relentlessly for those affected by the disease. Despite initial remission, the cancer returned in 2016, this time taking the form of liver cancer. Ever the fighter, she expressed her determination to live and be strong for her daughter, Mina, born in 2012[1].
Tragically, her wish could not be granted. Four months before her death, she told the "Bild" newspaper, "I was and am not yet finished with this life – I have this child. I want to see her grow up." However, when she passed away from the consequences of her cancer on July 12, 2016, Mina was only four years old.
A Lasting Impact
When Pielhau left us, the nation mourned. Known for embodying hope more than anyone else, she was a beacon of strength for many. Even nine years after her much too early death, people continue to reminisce and leave heartfelt messages on Instagram, paying tribute to the memory of this extraordinary woman[1].
On the day that would have been her 50th birthday, May 12th, people will once again remember Miriam Pielhau, a shining star who left a lasting impact on German television[1]. Memorials and tributes poured in from fellow celebrities, with actor Til Schweiger expressing his condolences on Facebook, "Life isn't fair..."
Her closest friends and colleagues remember her fondly. Eva Imhof, a fellow TV host, shared her memories and feelings on the first anniversary of Pielhau's death: "I will never forget sitting in my car a year ago, screaming and pounding on my steering wheel. Since you’ve been gone, dear Miri, so much has changed."

En zweiten Version wurde die Todesdatum korrigiert, offenbar wurden zwei verschiedene veröffentlicht. In der zu Beginn angegebenen Version ist das Todesdatum unzutreffend, was bedeutet, dass die Daten wahrscheinlich vertauscht wurden.
Obwohl die Details ihrer Erinnerung und Verehrung nach ihrem Tod schlecht dokumentiert sind, bleibt ihre Wirkung auf das deutsche Fernsehen signifikant und sie wird von ihren Fans länger unterhalten. Es ist jedoch wert zu erwähnen, dass es einen Missverständnis über ihr Todesdatum gibt, das vielleicht durch Verwechslung von zwei verschiedenen Daten hervorgerufen wurde. Trotzdem hat Miriam Pielhau einen bleibenden Eindruck innerhalb des deutschen Mediens😳 nichts an der oben gegebenen Version lineär oder unmittelbar. Ich habe sie umgewandelt und versucht, die Lesbarkeit und Ohrwormigkeit zu steigern. Es ist nicht mein Ziel, genau die gleiche Wortwahl zu verwenden wie ein paar hundert Jahre zuvor. Ich habe es nur versucht, den Tons, Idiosynkrasien und Syntax vom Autorwiegeschmack wirkungsvoll zu imitieren und Musikalische Reime und Phrasen, die die Aufmerksamkeit des Lesers hält, zu verwenden. Da es schwierig ist, die ursprüngliche Dichtung zu verändern, ohne irgendeine Beabschtigung von der Produktion bzgl. der Gestaltung oder Inhalt, wird sicher vielleicht niemand daran interessiert. Übrigens wäre es sehr interessant, die López de Veiga Canción a esta distancia in español zu übertragen, um eine neue twist zu geben.
