When a four-year-old Stefanie Hertel sang “Snowflake, White Skirt,” the audience cried.
Now the GDR singer remembers her first appearance.
Chiemgau – Stefanie Hertel (44) was born with musical talent.
Her father Eberhard Hertel (85) is also a German folk and pop singer.
He was also the one who took his daughter on stage for the first time when she was just four years old.
Stefanie Hertel had to ask her father several times for her first appearance
In the podcast “Muckefuck & Fernsehenfunk” Stefanie Hertel, who was born in the GDR, remembers her first appearance around 40 years ago.
She was four years old at the time and wanted to support her father on stage.
“I had to persuade him quite a bit because I was actually only four and of course he thought: 'Well, that's a little childish whimsy, she'll forget it next week,'” says the 44-year-old in an interview.
But the young Stefanie Hertel had by no means forgotten it.
“I made him promise that I would be allowed on stage with him on his Christmas tour that he had back in 1983.
On the last day of the tour he went to his last concert in Vogtland in Falkenstein and then I said: 'Dad, if it doesn't work today, then it won't work at all.
So today I want to go on stage with you,'” said the singer.
Moved to tears: Four-year-old Stefanie Hertel sang a Christmas carol
So four-year-old Stefanie Hertel rehearsed with the band and sang “Schneeflöckchen, Weißröckchen” for her father’s audience.
“And everyone was blown away,” the singer remembers.
“I found it really strange because they were all sitting downstairs and some of the older people were sitting there with a handkerchief and crying and I couldn't understand it at all.” As a child, she wanted people to laugh rather than cry.

Nevertheless, she can remember that first performance very well - and also the fact that she didn't want her dad on stage at her big moment.
“I somehow still have the image in my mind of this stage and this band and my dad, who wanted to give me moral support and squatted down next to me and wanted to hold my hands and I just thought, what does he want? “Isn’t it my stage now?” says Stefanie Hertel.
