Hartmut Engler says goodbye to a companion
Tragic news for “PUR”: Front man Hartmut Engler, 59, and his band colleagues mourn their former companion Gertrud Maier. The cantor has been a long-term support for the band. From the newspaper ad that Hartmut Engler shares on his Facebook account, it becomes clear that Gertrud Maier was cantor at the Evangelical Paulus Church. “PUR” also benefited from Gertrud Maier’s musical passion in their early band phase. The boys were allowed to rehearse in the Pauluskirche in the early 80s. Because the previous nights were often short, Gertrud often greeted them with coffee, biscuits and “sometimes cake”.
The death of Gertrud Maier hurts the band. Hartmut Engler says goodbye on Facebook. “It was a great time to organize the services together with you and the children’s choir … Have a good trip, dear Gertrud!”

Florian Silbereisen has to let Helene Fischer go first
It was a superlative Saturday evening. “Wetten, dass …?”, “The Masked Singer”, “Das Supertalent” and “Der Schlagerboom” ran on TV at prime time. Especially Schlager fans got into a mess here, because on ZDF the baby belly appearance of Helene Fischer, 37, which had been announced for weeks, was waiting for the viewers: inside. Florian Silbereisen, 40, wanted to know from his community on Instagram who would like to “party, sing along and celebrate”? After all, the biggest hit TV live show in Europe was shown on November 6th: the 2021 hit boom.
But not all followers were interested in a hit party in the MDR. Many fans only had eyes for Helene. “Nah, I’d rather watch ‘Wetten, dass …?’ with Helene, “someone comments on Florian Silbereisen’s Instagram post. Another user joins: “Are with Helene, otherwise gladly.” Next time, the hit favorite will certainly have more luck again.
