Star talks on ORF: Lohner, neururer and carpenter meet!

On Thursday, April 3, 2025, the ORF Nighttalk "Stöckl" will be broadcast in ORF 2 and ORF ON at 11:05 p.m. Hoster Barbara Stöckl has invited prominent guests for this episode: the moderator and author Chris Lohner, the snowboard world champion Heidi Neururer, Jeff Schreiner, who heads the "House of the Sea" in Vienna, as well as the internationally recognized oncologist Christoph Zielinski. This round promises an exciting exchange about personal experiences and social topics.

Chris Lohner, who is still active in public at the age of 81, is not only known for her media presence, but also for her commitment as an ambassador for the organization "Light for the World". Lohner has spent over two decades in Africa and is committed to improving living conditions and eyesight in project countries. Her new book "When Africa smiles" was published on March 6, 2025 and includes personal travel experiences and memories from countries such as Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya. In the work, she describes both shattering and uplifting moments of her missions that offer a deep insight into the different cultures and challenges with which it was confronted. The organization "Light for the World" praised its decades of cooperation and their tireless efforts.

The guests in focus

Heidi Neururer, after her sporting career as a snowboard world champion, has taken a successful career as a commentator and entrepreneur. Her book "Life Moments of a World Champion" illuminates her experiences and experiences during and after her active time in sport.

Jeff Schreiner, who is only 30 years old, has taken over the “House of the Sea” in Vienna since the beginning of 2025. His focus is on species protection and the education about the role of zoos, whereby it also spreads information about YouTube videos. It is a current topic that touches many people and should raise awareness of the protection of animal species.

Christoph Zielinski not only has an excellent reputation as an oncologist, but also gained a foothold in the literature. His first novel "Laurenzerberg" deals with the history of Polish-Jewish migrants in Vienna of the post-war period and combines his personal experience as a doctor with family roots.

A look back at Chris Lohner's career

Christine "Chris" Lohner, born Keprda, has put a remarkable career. After studying acting and first success as a photo model, she began working on the Austrian Radio (ÖRF) in 1973. In 1993 she won the Goldene Romy for her program design and has published numerous books since then. She is also known for her striking red hair and voice, which has been heard in the automatic announcements of the Austrian Federal Railways since 1979. Despite personal challenges such as her relationship with Alp Lohner and a life with ex-tennis player Lance Lumden, she claimed her place in society and continued to actively participate in numerous cultural projects and charity. Particular attention is paid to their many years of activity for the WWF Austria.

The upcoming episode of "Stöckl" promises not only to give interesting insights into the life stories of their guests, but also to illuminate the important topics of social engagement and cultural exchange.
