Legendary “Wiesn-Babsi” dies of cancer at 49

Newspapers all over the world printed photos of her in the 2000s, and suddenly the young woman with the infectious smile was known the world over. She was even voted the most beautiful German once, even though she was Austrian.
But despite her sudden fame, Stadlhuber remained down-to-earth. After turning her back on the Wiesn waitressing business, she worked in her parents' hotel in Kremsmünster and devoted herself above all to her family. Her three children, aged 14, 19 and 20, now have to go on living without her.
The news of her death is causing consternation. "She was the heart and soul of our tent," remembers Silja Steinberg, landlady of the Hofbräu tent. "A wonderful woman who gave everyone a smile."
