Overview
- During the live ZDF‑Fernsehgarten show on Sunday, June 7, Marina Marx stepped off the rear edge of the open platform and fell into a gap behind the stage.
- Marx continued singing during the incident, returned to the stage barefoot and completed the duet with Nino de Angelo, who checked on her and made a lighthearted remark on air.
- Cameras briefly cut away while the musical backing continued and host Andrea Kiewel did not acknowledge the fall on air, drawing attention to production choices in live formats.
- Hours after the broadcast Marx posted on Instagram saying she was 'doing okay,' reported a large bruise and some dizziness, and said the fall was caused by a stage gap rather than her shoes.
- The clip triggered heavy social media reaction including hostile playback accusations, which Marx has publicly condemned, and there has been no formal production statement about stage safety to date.
