A Unique Tribute to Richard Lugner

Published: 2024-10-11

On what would have been Richard Lugner's 92nd birthday, his widow Simone paid a heartfelt tribute by visiting his grave in a wedding dress.

This poignant gesture was her way of commemorating the day they had planned to receive a church blessing.

Meanwhile, in Vienna's Lugner City, a wax figure of the late builder, loaned from Madame Tussauds, was displayed for fans to take photos, keeping his memory alive.

The family also honored Lugner by releasing heart-shaped balloons at his gravesite, although Simone was notably absent from this gathering.

These events reflect the diverse ways in which those close to Lugner are choosing to remember him, each adding a personal touch to his legacy.
