Now it is sad certainty: around half a year after his brother, the second hotpants twin, Christian Öhlschläger, also died.

Munich – Munich is a piece of colorless: Christian Öhlschläger (72), one of the Hotpants brothers, died.

Around seven months earlier, the death of Stefan (72) had torn the well-known twins apart.

Since then, Christian has mourned his brother.

Weird, weirder, Öhlschläger: Every Munich child knows the crazy brothers.

With their flashy clothes, long hair and short, tight trousers, they were known like sore thumbs.

They often ran through the streets, grumbling and arguing loudly.

Many have met the cult twins outside before.

Munich: Christian Öhlschläger died

For two decades they drew everyone's attention together - until Christian found his brother lifeless in his bed on January 9th.

That was just three days after her birthday.

A shock for Christian, he couldn't believe at the time that his brother had to go.

Everything changed for Christian with Stefan's death: he was desperate, Christian said when he called our newspaper from a hospital near Munich.

His brother had a hip problem, but was otherwise in good health.

At that time, a world collapsed for Christian.

He didn't know how Stefan's funeral should take place.

Most importantly, he couldn't imagine what his life would be like without his brother.

After all, the Öhlschläger twins spent their whole lives together.

They were inseparable to the end.

The Hotpants twins brought color to the city

Although they were an integral part of the cityscape: the two were not Munich originals.

You moved from Hanover to the Bavarian capital in the 1970s.

At that time they were booked as models and Christian worked as a ballet dancer - hard to imagine for many who saw the brothers bickering loudly on the street.

Many also complained about the loud nature of the Öhlschläger.

Life hasn't always been easy for them.

They struggled with illnesses, quarrels and many moves.

Most recently they lived in Sendling.

They probably don't just leave a big gap there - even as Zuagroaste they simply belonged to Munich.
