Almost exactly one year ago, on January 7, 2024, soccer legend Franz Beckenbauer died at the age of 78. After a year of mourning, his family can now laugh again: The traditional carp dinner, which always brought Beckenbauer great joy, took place again in Kitbühel.

No question, the "Kaiser" was of course sorely missed. Nevertheless, his family came together for the traditional carp dinner at Johannes Mitterer's Kitzhof in Kitzbühel - Franz Beckenbauer would certainly have wanted it to be just like this.

And many celebrities accepted the invitation to the New Year's feast: Real estate entrepreneur Falk Raudies with wife Andrea Mühlbauer, former top athlete Stefan Blöcher with girlfriend Anna Posch and daughter Evelyn, media manager Markus Hörwick, entrepreneurs Clemens Tönnies, Willi Beier and Marcus Höfl enjoyed the fish specialties served up.

And indulged in precious memories with Beckenbauer's family - his widow Heidi, his daughter Francesca and his son Joel.
