Christine Ursprung: The “crime scene” star is happy to be “mood of nature”

Actress Christine Urspreck (54) was old for around seven years when doctors diagnosed her small growth. While the primary commitment was worried about her at the time, the “crime scene” actress struggled only in a very short phase of her life with the low height, as she now revealed in conversation with the newspaper. But in the middle of puberty “is it normal anyway that you as a young person question yourself. Sure, I thought, I don’t want to, I don’t.

At that time, too, she blamed her size as a reason for one or the other lovesickness, but then quickly made herself aware: “There were also many bigger friends who were also unhappily in love.”

These times of doubt have long since given way. She is now pleased that the doctors spoke of a “spontaneous mutation, ie a mood of nature”. “A nice term. I just wanted to be different from the others.”

The special spelling of your first name comes from school, as she also revealed. “I came up with the Christine during my Abitur period.” Because many of her friends only called her Tine, but her mother spoke to her with a full name, she finally decided to combine both. “A playful handling of the big and the small. And an expression of my feeling that you don’t have to take everything so seriously.”

From 2001, primeval saying gained greater awareness by her embodiment of the “Sams” in the children’s film series of the same name. In the Münster episodes, the “crime scene” crime series, she also blend into fan favorite as a forensic doctor Silke Haller, called “Alberich”.
