history
Anna Leibersberger (* August 10, 1922 - September 4, 2006) and Kurt Eugen Leibersberger (* February 11, 1922 - December 29, 2015 in Bonn), who were born in Weingarten (Baden) , met as children. They went to the same school, and the two of them got to know each other better through music when Kurt and his accordion group performed at a sporting event in which Anne led a group. In 1948 they got married and afterwards they had two daughters, Beatrice ("Bärbel") (* 1950) and Dagmar (* 1954). In the regional circle both appeared together as a duo. She worked as a telephone operator, he as an electrical engineer.
At the end of the 1950s, they were invited to the television program “Whoever wants, he can” with Peter Frankenfeld . There they sang the song Der Toni said, I am beautiful , with which they became known to a larger audience. The first record, Hohe Tannen , followed in 1960 , with which they had a huge hit. Their success made the German folk song , which had hitherto been frowned upon, popular again and, five years later, paved an extraordinary career for the singer Heino .
The success with “Hohe Tannen” brought the duo many obligations with it, so that they switched to the professional camp. They recorded many folk songs and also new folk songs and were guests in numerous television programs, especially at the "Lustige Musikanten" and the Musikantenstadl . In 1961 they appeared as a singing duo in the film Der Orgelbauer von St. Marien , where they sang two songs.
The Hellberg duo was one of the most successful artists of the 1960s and 1970s. They performed more than 4,500 live performances and, in addition to various countries in Europe, they were often on tour for several weeks in the USA and Canada. At the end of the 1980s, they largely withdrew from show business. In 2002 both officially performed their last concert.
