Jo Weil: “It totally flashed me”
Actor Jo Weil (45): “My first time in Mallorca totally blew me away. I actually never wanted to go to Mallorca because I only had the pictures of Ballermann in my head and that’s not mine at all. But then I was actually here for work and it totally flashed me how beautiful the island is. Since then I’ve been a huge fan and have often come here privately. You just have to understand that Mallorca isn’t just Ballermann 6.”
Presenter Nina Moghaddam (42): “I was here for the first time when I was 18 with my boyfriend at the time. I took the little train to Sóller back then – and I’ve now done that with my kids and my family. There were a lot of memories high and somehow everything still looked the same as it did back then.”
Moderator Harry Wijnvoord (74): “My first stay was in 1991. I visited Klaus Baumgart from ‘Klaus und Klaus’ and bought my house.”
Vera Int-Veen: “I even got married here”
Presenter Vera Int-Veen (55): “My first stay here was more than 50 years ago. My mother was in Mallorca in the summer of 1967 – she was very pregnant with me then. After that we went to Mallorca every year and I even got married here .”
Model Franziska Knuppe (48): “It must have been professional for a shoot, sometime in the last 26 years. Privately as a teenager or something, it certainly wasn’t. I’m from the former GDR and the first trip after reunification went on Morocco.”
Designer Natascha Ochsenknecht (58): “There is even a nice thong photo of me topless. I was standing by the water in Alcúdia, I was holding Wilson and I was five months pregnant with Jimi. That was about 33 years ago .”
“Let’s Dance” professional dancer Christian Polanc (45): “Very well, actually. I actually visited Marcel Remus here in Mallorca. That was probably more than ten years ago. I never made it to the island before because I was very I was traveling a lot with tournament dancing and hardly managed to get anywhere that you usually go.”
Arne Friedrich: “My first vacation without parents”
Ex-soccer star Arne Friedrich (44): “I think the last time I was on the island was in the international match against Spain in 2003. The first time, however, was at the age of 15 – my first vacation without my parents. After that I’m four or five Been here years in a row with my closest childhood friend. But not for El Arenal and Full Throttle, we preferred it a bit quieter.”
Presenter Frauke Ludowig (59): “I was here with my parents for the first time. We went on a bus trip and stayed in a 3-star hotel with a pool. It was simple and beautiful.”
Ex-jungle queen Evelyn Burdecki (34): “I was 15 and at some point I had one of those typical buckets in my hand that are forbidden today, with lots of XXL straws. And I fell in love with my first boyfriend in Mallorca. I knew him from Germany and I cried bitterly when he had to fly away, I remember that.”
