  • Hannelore Kramm, the wife of singer Heino, died on November 8 at the age of 81.
  • Now the 84-year-old German singer revealed in the newspaper "Bild" what was in her will.
  • According to the report, the singer's manager is to inherit the couple's villa in Kitzbühel, Austria, while his biological son is to go away empty-handed.

On November 8, singer Heino lost the love of his life. His wife Hannelore Kramm died at the age of 81 from a sudden cardiac arrest in Kitzbühel, Austria - at home in her own bed.

The 84-year-old singer is not currently staying in the house, writes the newspaper "Bild ", because he has too many memories of Hannelore attached to it.

Instead, Heino is staying with his manager Helmut Werner and his wife Nicole and their son Lennie in Styria. The singer has felt close to the Werners for a long time.

The singer is therefore now planning to move with his manager and his family to the house in Kitzbühel where he lived with his wife for many years.

Heino: "I would go crazy there"

"We will all move into our Kitzbühel house together next spring because we have become a family," Heino tells Bild.

He couldn't return alone, says the singer: "I'd go crazy." But the Werners would help him, especially during this difficult time for him: "Helmut and Nicole are doing everything for me."

That's why Helmut Werner was also remembered in his wife's will. "It was Hannelore's will and it is mine that Helmut inherits the house after my death and everything we have worked on together in recent years," says Heino.

He and his wife had agreed this before her death. Hannelore loved Werner like her own son. According to Bild, the villa in Kitzbühel, Austria, is said to be worth several million euros.

Heino: "My son never did anything for us"

According to the German tabloid, Heino's biological son Uwe Kramm (63) will come away empty-handed. He will not inherit anything from Hannelore, "because she was not his biological mother", Heino is quoted as saying in Bild.

Uwe comes from the singer's first marriage to Henriette Heppner. Even if he dies, Heino continued, his son will only inherit the compulsory portion. "I'm not prepared to give anything to someone who has never done anything for me or Hannelore," said the musician, explaining his decision.

The singer is also of the opinion that his son would not be able to keep the villa anyway, but could only sell it.

"I'm not prepared to give Uwe the most beautiful place in Kitzbühel," says Heino. Hannelore didn't want that either. "We both decided that Helmut would get our inheritance." This means that Heino's grandsons, Uwe Kramm's two sons, will also go away empty-handed.

When asked about Hannelore's will, manager Helmut Werner told Bild: "I would be happier if our Hannelore was still with us, but I am grateful for this trust."
