The Most Enchanting German Women 2010
6.4. Meike Schlüter
It’s a little surprising that a woman who isn’t on television at the moment and who is mostly identified with one single role she played 6 years ago made it onto this list at all, but it only goes to show what a huge and lasting impression the character of Kerstin Herzog on “Hinter Gittern” (“Behind Bars”) and the way actress Meike Schlüter portrayed her made on German TV viewers.
And she initially wasn’t even the most likeable character, but rather bitchy and not very nice to her fellow inmate Sascha, who she would later fall in love with. But Meike Schlüter managed to win the audience over with showing not only the external, but also the internal struggles Kerstin Herzog had to go through – suddenly finding herself in prison for a murder she didn’t commit, falling in love with someone who is not only a woman, but also a convicted murderer, and eventually having to risk everything to be with the woman she loves.

After leaving Hinter Gittern in 2004, Meike Schlüter went on to play smaller parts in various feature and short films before returning to TV in 2005 for a guest role on the German Telenovela “Wege zum Glück”. She reprised that role in 2006 and 2008, and in 2008 also had a part on the short-lived comedy show “Volles Haus”. Unfortunately, it is not likely that she will return to TV anytime soon. According to a post on a “Hinter Gittern” fan message board, Meike has given up acting and now works for a publishing company in Berlin. Besides, judging from this picture on Facebook that was taken last summer, it looks like she is probably busy with taking care of a little Schlüter at the moment…

WOW! Your readers got a real good taste, MeL! I feel that the inspiration for another video dedicated only to the 12 winning ladys is coming to my mind.
I’m a little bit proud that Meike Schlüter is still in the mind of people ’round here or maybe my little interference with a few pictures of her in the video worked. 
Btw thank you for considering my little slideshow video the must see of the week, I am really flattered!
When I get my computer back (hopefully tomorrow) I will start to work on the winning ladys video. The power supply was damaged and that ruined also my hard disc drive. Luckily I saved most of the data on an external drive, so I should be able to begin right then, when the repair is done.
WOW what for a amazing vote!
congratulations to anne will, claudia hiersche, miriam meckel.

you ask mel, if there any suprices of us, anne will was on me personell list, but that she is on top of the list, that suprice me so much. i can´t see way …. may be i see here there.but i like the top three.
Well….I was out of the country (away from a computer) and missed the vote, but I agree with the top 5 (except of course I would have put Claudia Hiersche as #1 and Anne Will as #2).
Thank you MeL for your interesting surveys and stories.

A few days ago, I had the chance to personally tell Anne Will that she was voted “Most Enchanting German Woman” by you. At first, she joked that there was probably only one name on the list of candidates, but when I told her that there was no list of candidates at all, and that she also got votes from outside of Germany, she was very impressed. We only talked briefly, but it was enough to convince me that the result of this poll was very well deserved, she’s very nice, charming, and also very attractive.
I didn’t have the chance to talk to Miriam Meckel as well, but I told Anne Will that her girlfriend made the list of Most Enchanting Women as well. Anne joked that it’s better to not let Miriam know that she only came in 3rd.
I know it’s only September, but after this chance meeting, I’m sure which real-life couple will definitely make my “Enchanting Women of 2010″ list.
Olá, sou fã de Claudia Hiersche.Alguém sabe quando ela volta a TV ou ao cinema?
Saudades de Claudia Hiersche.

Will there be a new poll this year: Most Enchanting German Women 2011?
I’m pretty sure I already know which two lovely ladies would come in on spot #1 and #2.
I’m sure about that, too.
Unfortunately, at the moment, it’s because of those two ladies that I’m way too busy to conduct another poll.
But maybe later this year.
