After the death of Hannelore Kramm (1942-2023), singer Heino’s wife, a “big service for Hannelore” is planned next year, “in which all her friends can take part.” Heino’s manager Helmut Werner (39) explained this to the “Bild” newspaper. He also said: “The incredible number of condolences give Heino comfort and touch him very much.”
Hannelore Kramm died last week and, according to the “Bild” newspaper, was supposedly buried in a cemetery in Kitzbühel.
On Heino’s website it says about the death of his wife: “It is with great pain that we have to inform you that Heino’s beloved wife Hannelore passed away peacefully in her sleep at home in Kitzbühel.” Heino is “in great sadness and misses his Hannelore every moment.” But the musician wanted to let his fans know “that he is getting all the warm messages and that the kind lines you sent him are touching him a lot.”
Initially, the “Bild” newspaper reported on November 15th that Kramm, who had been married to Heino since 1979, died on November 8th at the age of 82. The post on the singer’s homepage continues: “Hannelore will always remain a part of Heino and we are quite sure: she will continue to take good care of her Heino!”
Heino’s manager Helmut Werner also confirmed the sad news about the death of Heino’s wife to “Spiegel”. “Heino is devastated and in deep sadness,” said his manager. “That was the worst day of his life.” Previous press reports were initially not commented on so that Heino could say goodbye to his Hannelore in peace.
Heino and Hannelore Kramm met at the Miss Austria pageant in Kitzbühel in 1972 and got married in 1979. It was Heino’s third marriage. Hannelore accompanied him to many appointments and appearances.
