She began her television career as a cable helper, script girl and announcer on Bavarian television, and she also worked as an editor in the late 1970s. She had her first television appearance as a candidate on the show Had You Knew? . She was then invited to audition by Robert Lembke . She became known to a wide audience from August 1980 through the moderation of the program Die Mondaymaler , which she had taken over from Frank Elstner . Harreis, who was mainly present on television in the 1970s and 1980s, is considered the first female showmaster in Germany.
