Valerie's Garten was a German trio of women who, in 1992, had a hit single with the title Next Time at the End of the World, composed by Achim Oppermann . The trio, which due to its musical style was often understood as the German counterpart to Wilson Phillips , also had various appearances on television such as the ZDF hit parade . After a few more singles , the hit trio broke up due to a lack of (commercial) success.
