“We feel increasingly uncomfortable”
Luca Hänni and Christina Luft defend themselves against stalking horror
In 2014, Luca Hänni made it public for the first time that a stalker was making his life difficult. The psychological terror has apparently not stopped to this day – on the contrary. Christina Luft is also suffering from the persecution. The two share this in a statement.

Luca Hänni (28) has been struggling with Z.* (23)’s rampant fan love for years. In 2014, he made the incident public for the first time: in a letter, he threatened to pour gasoline and set himself on fire if he did not come out of his house, and in fan forums made death threats against other supporters of the “DSDS” winner from 2011. Apparently not much has changed since then: Z. still makes life difficult for Hänni – and now also that of his fiancée Christina Luft (32). Now the couple defends themselves in a statement.
“Unfortunately, a certain Ms. Z. hasn’t had anything else to do lately than bother us every day,” Hänni and Luft inform in a joint letter on Instagram. In the meantime, Z. has been contacting advertising partners and concert promoters in order to put the two down. She also spread untruths and made threats. The worst thing is that she follows and stalks the two “almost every day”.
Z. wants to lift the ban on events
A look at her Instagram profile shows numerous pictures not only with Hänni, but also with Christina Luft. In Facebook groups, she seeks legal help to get a conversation with the singer. She wants to have the ban on events that was imposed on her lifted and also writes about a complaint that Christina Luft filed against her. She describes a situation when she looked for air in front of her Cologne apartment. The professional dancer screamed “leave me alone, leave my fiancé alone, leave everyone alone”. Luft does not comment on this in the statement.
However, Hänni continues to write: “I, and now Christina as well, have been fighting with the police and lawyers for years. Unfortunately, when it comes to stalking, it takes a long time for something to happen. This matter is by no means funny and should be taken absolutely seriously, we and our families feel more and more uncomfortable.”
Hänni and Luft want to campaign against stalking
You have no choice but to inform your fan community about the matter, even if you don’t really want to keep the topic private, Hänni continues. The couple asks those involved who have been contacted by Z. or who have information to contact the police or Hänni’s management and block the woman.
In the future, Luca Hänni and Christina Luft want to use their reputation to encourage other victims of stalking to fight against it. “In the future, we will be personally involved in the issue of stalking because we know that it affects other people,” writes the couple. “In our opinion, far too little is being done about it.”
