Her death "shocks and confuses us deeply," stated the Instagram post, which was signed, among others, by the singer's drummer, Manne Uhlig. "With her unique voice, her presence, and her songs, she remained a constant life companion for countless people since the founding of Rosenstolz. She still had many musical plans when she passed away at the age of 55 in Berlin."

Anna R. was born in 1969 as Andrea Rosenbaum in East Berlin and trained as a chemical laboratory assistant. After the reunification of Germany, she founded Rosenstolz with Peter Plate in 1991. The Berlin band was one of the most successful pop duos in Germany in recent decades and became famous with melancholic songs like "Liebe ist alles" and "Lass es Liebe sein." "I will miss you every second," Plate wrote after the news of Anna R.'s death. "I will never forget our first evening together. We drank sparkling wine, you told me you wanted to become a jazz singer, and I wanted to make pop music. That very night we went to my place and recorded a song - I was captivated by your voice, by your way of singing, by your gift of wrapping each of our songs in the most beautiful colors."

Between 1991 and the preliminary end of their collaboration, referred to as a "pause," in 2012, Anna R. and songwriter and singer Plate recorded twelve albums, five of which reached number one in Germany and three in Austria. The most successful album was "Das große Leben" from 2006. The last album released was "Wir sind am Leben" (2011). Initially favorites of the subculture, they later conquered the mass market, winning Echos, gold, and platinum. Pop schlager anthems like "Gib mir Sonne" and "Ich bin ich (Wir sind wir)" shaped the sound of the 2000s. After her time with Rosenstolz, the singer was active with the bands Gleis 8 and Silly. Anna R. had announced a tour for 2025, and she was supposed to perform at Szene Wien on November 13.
