Kitzbühel – Pop and folk music star Heino (84) has been married to his Hannelore (81) for 44 years. However, the two have known each other for longer: the “Blau blumen der Gentian” singer met his future wife at a Miss Austria pageant in Kitzbühel in 1972 – the beginning of a unique love story that lasted decades. The prominent couple is still loyal to each other. And that was until the end: on November 15, 2023, it was announced that Hannelore had died at the age of 81.
