Heino, to my surprise, actually hails from Düsseldorf, as it happens. That is probably one more reason for the Kölner to feel slightly superior to their neighbours to the North. Heino has now mercifully retired. I had always regarded him as the arch conservative, but it turns out that the image was misleading. He is actually quite a liberal hearted bloke and if we forgive him for his music, there is not really much to dislike about the man.
