Dieter Bohlen Confirms His Father Hans Died at 97 in November

He says his father spent his final weeks in hospice with advanced dementia requiring round-the-clock care.

Overview

  • Bohlen disclosed the death to Bild and shared the report on Instagram with the caption "Er war mein Hero."
  • He described a four-month decline and said he stayed mostly in Oldenburg to be with his parents and support his 91-year-old mother.
  • According to Bohlen, his father developed fluid around the heart, needed oxygen, and could no longer breathe unaided, leading to hospital, care home, and finally hospice care.
  • The family opted for a quiet farewell with no public obituary and a funeral limited to close relatives after more than 70 years of marriage between Hans and Edith.
  • Bohlen said the loss influenced personal decisions, including marrying Carina on New Year’s Eve to end the year with a positive moment.
