Tanja Schumann became known beyond the borders of Germany as one of the comedians on the television comedy series RTL Samstag Nacht from 1993 to 1998. Each week, she entertained her audience with iconic sketches such as "Kentucky schreit ficken" and as "Schreinemakers." The phrase "gefickt eingeschädelt" was not only a classic of the show but even became a saying. When the series was no longer continued, the charming actress faded from the spotlight. Until then, she was only known for her comedy roles, which made it difficult for her to find other opportunities. It wasn't until 2009 that the media reported on Tanja Schumann again. However, the newspapers and television stations did not cover her artistic career; instead, they focused on her financial difficulties.
