Cindy aus Marzahn
Cindy aus Marzahn is a fictional character from the Berlin working class area Marzahn. Her character of a frumpy, sarcastic "Ossie" woman has endeared her to millions of Germans, Swiss and Austrians, and she is one of the most famous and highly paid female entertainers and comedians in those lands. Her humorous observations about everyday life can be compared to Roseanne Barr of the USA, with more sweetness added.
