Bavarian Red Cross Fulfills Terminally Ill Fan’s Wish to Meet Florian Silbereisen

The visit was scheduled during Schlagerbooms 2026 rehearsals to accommodate her reliance on a therapy dog.

Overview

  • Niki, a 44-year-old from Surheim with an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis and paraplegia, received a privately arranged meeting in Munich.
  • Florian Silbereisen greeted her during rehearsals and spent more than an hour sharing conversation and moments that moved the fan to tears.
  • BRK volunteers Sandra and Manfred Groiß and Dieter Orwat transported Niki, her family, and therapy dog Nala in the Herzenswunsch Hospizmobil.
  • State Minister Michaela Kaniber, the Hospizmobil’s patron since 2018, established the personal contact with Silbereisen, with support from Bayerischer Rundfunk.
  • After the meeting, the group shared a meal before returning to Surheim, concluding a wish the BRK Kreisverband Berchtesgadener Land has now publicized.
