Builder Richard Lugner (91) is getting married for the sixth time: As the builder announced to the KURIER on Sunday, he and his partner are getting married Simone Reiländer say yes to each other in a small circle on June 1, 2024. “It’s my last marriage,” Lugner emphasized to the WHAT.
Cathedral priest Toni Faber will then give the church blessing in St. Stephen’s Cathedral on October 12, 2024. By the way, this is one day after Lugner’s 92nd birthday.
Actually the builder was given credit by his ex-wife Christina (58) imposes a “ban on marriage before daughter Jacky gets married”. It is rumored that this will be the FPÖ politician in mid-June Leo Kholbauer marital. So Lugner will get married before then.
“In general, it’s impossible to tell Simone that we’re postponing the wedding because Mausi wants that, because she would be mortally offended and wouldn’t want to have anything to do with me anymore,” he sighed in an interview with the KURIER.
He also said that he didn’t even know his daughter Jacky’s wedding date: “So I can’t go by it. Maybe Mausi knows more than me.”
Lugner had recently been traveling with a variety of companions, all of whom were given different pet names for animals. But he never actually wanted this. “I want a fixed relationship and not what many people envy me for: a zoo with constantly changing partners. That’s superficial.”
Lugner is already familiar with weddings: he married Christine Gmeiner for the first time in 1961. “She was my childhood sweetheart,” said the builder. The couple separated after 17 years. In 1979 he married again. But this connection only lasted four years. “Cornelia (Hahn, note) “The then OPEC Secretary General told me,” said Lugner.
Lugner and Mausi
Marriage number three followed in 1984 with Susanne Dietrich. The relationship ended tragically: in 1984, shortly after the divorce, Dietrich fell into a coma after cosmetic surgery and died. Christina “Mausi” Lugner, probably the builder’s best-known partner, followed. The couple married in 1991 and hit the society stage together for years. But this marriage also ended in 2007.
On September 13, 2014, Lugner married German playmate Cathy Schmitz at a fifth wedding staged as a media spectacle in Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace. This was over again after just two years. “That was a flop. Apart from Simone, I only loved Christine and Christina,” said the builder.
