Barbara Schöneberger only needed about 9,000 followers to reach a million on Instagram—and for that last push, she decided to flaunt her feminine charms. The camera was in the capable hands of “Bergdoktor” star, Hans Sigl.

It was just a matter of thousands: Barbara Schöneberger (52) was on the brink of hitting the million mark on Instagram. To cross this final hurdle, the popular moderator unleashed a time-tested tactic: in a bikini and with a generous dose of self-irony, she announced in a video, “I need 9,000 followers to hit one million on Instagram, so I thought, let’s create some hardcore sexy content.”

Behind the camera was none other than “Bergdoktor” star Hans Sigl (57), who played the role of cameraman and motivator in this endeavor. To attract the last few followers, Schöneberger posed on a sofa in her pink-green striped bikini and large glasses—complete with seductive arching. “Arch your back!” Sigl instructed. “Please help me! Follow for a good cause. We must reach a million! You can be part of something great,” she winked in her post, featuring “extremely sexy content.”

Strategy Pays Off

Hans Sigl clearly enjoyed the game and shared his own clip showing Schöneberger during the production of her content. “It’s incredible what people do when they’re just 9,000 followers away from a million,” he joked. Schöneberger was “naked, naked, unique,” and definitely worth a look. “I must say, she looks good,” he commented while she showcased her ample cleavage in the background. “When Barbara Schöneberger creates content and I comment stupidly,” the actor jested.

In the end, the strategy worked. Barbara Schöneberger successfully crossed the million and celebrated her success in style—with a sparkling bottle of champagne in her garden and a digitally inserted fireworks display. “Well, sometimes you have to help life along a bit,” she commented on her coup.


Editor’s Recommendations


Hans Sigl and Barbara Schöneberger have been good colleagues for years. Since 2022, they have co-hosted the “Starnacht am Wörthersee,” which, by the way, took place again on July 11. The rehearsals for the live show began the day before and evidently provided plenty of time for their fun videos. (eyn/spot) © spot on news
