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