Former Miss Switzerland and designer Dominique Rinderknecht wants to make a signet ring.
Everyone knows it: You set yourself a specific goal for the new year. Sometimes the wishes come true, often not. The same goes for these Swiss celebrities, who tell Blick what their dream year 2023 looks like.
Organic farmer and ex-Mister Switzerland Renzo Blumenthal (45). For 2022 he wanted a new hay crane and a liquid manure pump. “I’ve fulfilled both of these things, and it’s already been paid for.” For 2023 is on his wish list. “A new roof for the barn, happiness for my family and my animals and that the cairn dispute comes to an end, preferably in the sand.”
Crocus rocker Chris von Rohr (71): «I wish for openness of opinion and fewer doomsday scenarios. Allowing other perspectives is important for our country. We need neither extremism nor division nor a culture of outrage. Approach each other, talk to each other and mediate instead of judging.”
Figure skating queen Denise Biellmann (60). «A year ago, after my wish for a new sofa was in sight, an exclusive furniture store said they had exactly my dream sofa. I actually found it there and put it together. It should arrive before Christmas, but due to delivery problems it will be January. For 2023 I wish myself health and that everything goes on as before. I want to enjoy the summer intensively, which I wasn’t able to do to the extent last year because of my wrist fracture. I want to go swimming and I really want to go to the Street Parade.”

Top model Manuela Frey (26) wanted to travel to New York (USA) and get all her belongings from the apartment she left before the Covid-19 outbreak. “That wish came true, I gave everything to the local Salvation Army. Except for personal items like photos or crystals from Hawaii. For 2023 I wish you health, peace and happiness. And after I was in Malawi with the Swiss Red Cross: that we appreciate everything a little more, for example a warm shower. »
Former Miss Switzerland and designer Dominique Rinderknecht (33) wanted to sew her first evening dress in 2022. “I’ve almost made it. Making my own jewelery and my clothing collection ‹Hueregeil› took up most of my time, and the tailor’s dummy I need for this was first delivered. My personal goals for the new year are: to launch my first jewelery collection and to make my own signet ring with our family crest. I’ve had this wish for a long time, in 2023 it should become reality.”
Former gymnast and singer Lucas Fischer (32) is planning his first podcast for next year. «I would like to speak to people who have had to use their ‘tiger heart’ in their lives, i.e. who have mastered major challenges in a positive way. I want to talk openly with people from different communities about topics that are usually left out. With the aim of showing that life can sometimes be unpredictable, there is still a way to deal with every situation.”

Actor and music producer Michael Schertenleib (34) has big plans for 2023 – and still wants to take things a little easier. Blick reveals that filming for the fourth season of the Netflix hit “How To Sell Drugs Online (Fast)” is due next year. “And as far as music goes, I finally want to equip my home studio with new equipment.” Above all, he emphasizes: “I really have to rethink my work-life balance!” In the coming months he wants to take more time for himself and “finally go on vacation again. It’s been a long time since the last time!”
Singer-songwriter Lea Lu (37) is currently on a mini tour of India. After her return, the biggest project is probably: a new album. The singer also dreams of a concert in New York’s Central Park. But Lea Lu also wants to venture into other areas: “I finally want to publish my children’s book ‘Ludwig’!”, she says Blick – and she wants to make her neighborhood happy: “I want to hide beautiful things in my whole neighborhood that can take the people who enjoy it.”
DJ Tanja La Croix (40): «I wish for 2023 a lot of inspiration and creativity, that I pursue my goals courageously and with full joy and that I can make many people happy with my music and performance. And holidays together with my mum and sister as a threesome by the sea.»
