“Lugner’s stamp could also be very overwhelming”

Styrian Helmut Werner was the manager of the late Richard Lugner for many years. He brought the stars to the Opera Ball and was in a relationship with daughter Jacqueline. What he learned from "Mörtel" and why he broke away.

"Krone": How did you find out about Richard Lugner's death?
Helmut Werner: Via the "Krone" push notification, and I was very shocked. Of course, at 91 he was a biblical age, but it's always too early. I had the impression that he was still agile and fit, even though he had had health problems recently. Richard Lugner was always there - he will leave a big gap.
