First Christmas without Hannelore - What Heino is planning for the holidays
After 50 years together, singer Heino (85) is about to celebrate his first Christmas without his Hannelore (1942-2023). He seems brave when he reveals his plans for Christmas Eve in the magazine "Bunte". He is spending the festive season "with my manager in mind and with my Hannelore in mind", he explains. "On December 23, we'll go to Hannelore's cemetery. On Christmas Eve, we'll cut down a Christmas tree. Then we'll decorate it together and sing Christmas carols." The meal will be turkey, homemade red cabbage and dumplings.
Heino's only Christmas wish
Heino hasn't had any wishes for a long time; Hannelore has always read his every wish from his lips and fulfilled them. "But if I had one wish - then of course that Hannelore would be back. I hope she's sleeping in peace. And where she is now, she'll be waiting for me one day. That's my only wish," he says, adding: "A part of me died with my Hannelore."
Hannelore died six weeks ago
Hannelore Kramm died on November 8 at the age of 82 at her home in Kitzbühel. The couple had been married for 44 years and were almost inseparable. However, the singer was unable to be with his beloved wife in her final hours. The terrible news reached Heino while he was recording a TV show in Berlin.
A week later, Hannelore's death was made public. "Heino and all of us are in deep mourning," his manager explained at the time. He also explained why the death was only announced now: "It was Heino's express wish to be able to say goodbye to his beloved wife in silence." Hannelore had suffered a so-called instantaneous death due to sudden cardiac arrest. Heino consoled himself with the fact that she did not have to suffer any pain.
The couple met in 1972 at the Miss Austria competition in Kitzbühel, followed by their wedding in 1979. It was Heino's third marriage. Hannelore accompanied him to many appointments and appearances. They have no children together.
