Rosemarie "Rosa" Precht (* May 3rd, 1952 ; † January 31st, 1991) was a German songwriter, singer and keyboard player.

Together with Herwig Mitteregger, Bernhard Potsch Potschka and Manfred Praeker (all three coming from Lokomotive Kreuzberg) he joined the Nina Hagen Band, later called Spliff when Nina Hagen left after two albums, and they had to sing themselves. It was Mitteregger who introduced Rosa to singer Ulla Meinecke in 1980. At this stage she just created her own band called the Insisters and was forced to choose between joining Ulla or not. She accepted and joined the band for three albums. The recordings of the Insisters were released in 1981. In 1982 she played to Reinhold some self penned songs. He was impressed and offered to start a side project together called "Cosa Rosa". Dubbed as a living room project the songs were simply made with keyboards, drum machines and synthesizers in the comfort of their home. The result was Traumstation, released in 1983 and much to their own surprise got good reviews and even a small hit with Rosa auf Hawaii. Because the project was never intended to be commercial and because the couple's commitment to Ulla Meinecke and Spliff there was
