Live and act

The former consumer sales point in Schmannewitz (photo from February 9, 2020) was previously the Café Jacob , the first place where the Jacob Sisters performed when they were young as Schmannewitz Heidelerchen

The four siblings come from the village of Schmannewitz , a district of Dahlen , on the Dahlener Heide in the Free State of Saxony . They began their careers together as the Schmannewitzer Heidelerchen in their parents' Café Jacob in Schmannewitz. They later performed in and around Leipzig . They attended the Musikhochschule Weimar , moved to the Federal Republic in 1958 and continued their studies in Frankfurt am Main .

Here Lia Wöhr gave them an appearance on the television program Zum Blauen Bock . In 1963 they had their greatest success in Germany with the garden gnome march ( "Adelbert, Adelbert, give me a garden gnome ..." ), a cover version of the Billy Sanders title, which originally sang about an Adelheid in his march. At that time they called themselves the Jacob siblings . In 1966 they took part in the German Schlager Festival . Her title So ist ein Boy came in at number 8.

The Jacob Sisters in the mid-1960s

Their greatest international success was with appearances in Las Vegas and New York in the 1960s, where they performed with Louis Armstrong , Sammy Davis Jr. and Duke Ellington . Since then they have been calling themselves Jacob Sisters . Since 1960, they have been accompanied by white poodles , which have become their trademark.

At the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s, they appeared several times as star guests in the Madame Lothár Theater in Bremen , where they also took part in a gala show in June 2002 on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the theater.

In the entertainment program of television and radio , they were often involved, especially in folk music programs such as the TV series Feste der Volksmusik ( ARD ), Lieder are the best friends ( Bayerischer Rundfunk ) and Musikantenstadl (joint production ORF , ARD and SF ); but also in many individual programs, gala and New Year's Eve shows, for example in comedy programs like Schmidtanders and in talk shows like Sellemols: The Jacob-Sisters in SR in May 2007.

On the night of May 17, 2008, Hannelore Jacob died of heart failure due to pneumonia . The funeral took place at the Buchenbusch forest cemetery in Neu-Isenburg .
