Barbara Schöneberger Hits One Million Instagram Followers After Humorous Bikini Push

A staged poolside bikini clip filmed with Hans Sigl converted a direct fan appeal into a rapid spike in followers.

Overview

  • The presenter’s Instagram account passed the one‑million follower mark on Saturday after she posted a purposely self‑ironical bikini video and then a celebratory clip.
  • Hans Sigl appears off camera in the poolside footage as voice, cameraman and director, offering lines such as “Hohlkreuz! Es sieht gut aus in der Kamera” while Schöneberger posed.
  • Schöneberger wrote a direct call to action in the post—including “Bitte hilf mir! Folgen für den guten Zweck. Wir müssen die Million schaffen!”—to mobilize followers toward the goal.
  • Hours after the bikini clip she posted a second video in a tight silver bodysuit popping champagne to mark the milestone, and fans and celebrities reacted with playful praise.
  • The stunt fits Schöneberger’s long‑standing self‑ironical public persona, leverages cross‑audience appeal with Sigl and may be referenced during the duo’s hosting of Starnacht am Wörthersee, extending its promotional reach.
