In particular, her “unruly unlucky marie” in the fairy tale film Frau Holle is remembered. Lind, who had to play the widow's lazy daughter in such a way that even children could identify with her, turned out to be the representative of the "type of female character comedian, which is rare in films." The Berliner Zeitung wrote about this on the occasion of the DVD release From Frau Holle : "As unlucky marie, Katharina Lind is so snippy and lazy that watching children just want to tackle the next morning happily and diligently."

So she took over the mother Gastl in Abschied under the direction of Egon Günther , a film adaptation of the novel Farewell by Johannes R. Becher .
