The D-A-CH-DeathList 2024 (page 18)

[WEP 889]

As maybe mentioned somewhere else:

Virginia Carolina Theresa Pancrazia Galdina Prinzessin zu Fürstenberg, aka Ira von Fürstenberg has died. She was a star of European-made B-movies in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

She was part of German nobelty  I think.

Oh, that's shocking. The 1990 players are childhood heroes for me... is it starting now? One by one they'll be gone?

The cause of death was a Sudden cardiac arrest.

The German singer Tina Rainford (born Christa Zalewski) has died at the age of 77.

It reached number 5 in the German and Austrian charts and even number 2 in Switzerland.

After a short listen I got it immediately why I didn't remember this song... oh dear...

Actor Horst Naumann (wiki) dead at 98.

Death notice.

A hit for the 2024 D-A-CHList.

[Toast 16,129]

Horst - what a horrible sounding name that is. I'm guessing it's not popular now as it rarely seems to crop up.

[En Passant 3,741]

Crop up? Horst?, Neigh.

[Book 3,551]

Ach, sad. Horst Naumann was a very well-known actor in German TV series like Die Schwarzwaldklinik or Das Traumschiff.

Traumschiff is the german version of the Love Boat. So he was the german Bernie Kopell.

Well, there was a German president named Horst from 2004 to 2010, often called "Horst Wer?" (Horst who?).

German satire magazine Titanic does a bit of deadpooling:
https://www.titanic-magazin.de/briefe/2024/maerz/ ("Dir, Tod,")

 

In 2010, after Bärbel Bohley and Claude Chabrol died one day after another, they speculated which alliterative name is going to die next, so they thought about Dieter Dehm, Erhard Eppler, and Frank Farian. Two of those three are dead now, so they think that A lives, B+C dies, D lives, E+F dies, etc.... So their next names on the list are Gundula Gause, Hansi Hinterseer and Ida Immendorff.

Presumably, German evening news frontwoman Gundula Gause will then survive even though she fainted on camera not too long ago. Bavarian Schlager-Star Hansi Hinterseer would then die soon, and "model" / socialite Ida Immendorff would die, too. At 22 years of age, that would be pretty spectacular.

Sad news. Him and Lobinger finished 3rd and 4th at the 2006 world indoors and 3rd and 5th at the European outdoors in 2005.

The exact date of his death is still pending, most reports of his death are more local and behind paywalls. Let's wait and see.

 

Edit: DOD = 08.03.

 

It's nice that the D-A-CH list has now caught up with the DL.

Has written many German ESC contributions, e.g. “Anouschka”, “Primaballerina” or “Über die Brücke geh'n”, which at least reached places 8, 9 and 8.
