Next Sunday, ORF weather lady Christa Kummer will be 60 years old: for 30 years, she has been stalking through the picture, mostly cheerfully. Her dizzying high heels are always in view. During a visit to "Krone", she talks about her private life, her secret shoe size and how many high heels she actually has. 

Tack-tack-tack. Loud laughter and "Hellooo!" from afar. You hear Christa Kummer for a long time before you see her. Then she is standing in the middle of the ORF's huge newsroom, where otherwise a discreet whisper prevails. 1.64 meters tall, all in white and wearing high heels. One pair on her feet, one in her hand for the photos. Because the evening shoe show is a prominent part of the program.
