When Andreas Brehme visited Franz Beckenbauer: World champion greetings. The 1990 World Cup hero died on the night of February 19th to 20th at the age of 63.

The meeting with the now 77-year-old emperor was not entirely private; there was also an official aspect. The foundation, of which Heidi Becken bauer is now in charge as chairwoman, has been around for 40 years. Since then, its goal has been to provide financial assistance to people with disabilities or those who are sick or in debt.
