Biography

In the combination, it was also sixth. Your success she was able to confirm at the World Championships in Innsbruck in the following year with a fourth place finish in the downhill.

After her death, attended the foundation established by the Stegers a stir because the heirs in the inserted administrator Bruno Steiner from Mittersill (A ) suggested a Erbschleicher and infesting the will in court. However, all the allegations were found to be completely baseless. The decision to found the Foundation, was thus taken his own lifetime Hans Steger and as a tenant of the hotel a few years before entering Bruno Steiner. Since the couple was childless, there was no direct heirs and the foundation was thus the only way to continue the life's work as a whole.
