The Hellberg-Duo, comprising members Anna Leibersberger and Kurt Eugen Leibersberger, were a German vocal duo specialising in folk music. The pair met as children and began performing together after marrying in 1948. Their musical journey began when they were invited to the television show Wer will, der kann with Peter Frankenfeld in the late 1950s, where they performed "Der Toni hat gesagt, ich bin schön". This exposure led to their first record release, "Hohe Tannen", in 1960, which became a significant hit and revitalised interest in German folk music. The duo's success continued with numerous albums, including Im Schönsten Wiesengrunde (1967), Volkstümliche Schlager Zum Feierabend (1970), and Hohe Tannen (1972). They were frequent guests on television shows like Lustigen Musikanten and Musikantenstadl, and appeared in the film Der Orgelbauer von St. Marien in 1961. The group retired from performing in 2002, with their last official concert marking the end of a prolific career that spanned decades. Anne Leibersberger passed away on 4 September 2006, while Kurt Eugen Leibersberger died on 29 December 2015.
