Personal life
Personal life
Other than the Eurovision Song Contest, where her zero-point result hurt her solo career before it had even fully begun, she was mainly active with the Botho-Lucas-Chorus, where she stayed as chorister for 30 years, notable for their musical accompaniment on the German TV show Musik ist Trumpf. Wiesner is also the vocalist on several songs in the Brilliant-Musik archives, founded by Werner Tautz, who wrote several songs for her together with Heinz Kiessling and Hans Gerig. Wiesner released an album called Twilight Mood in 1970 with Addy Flor and his Orchestra. Since then, notable singles of hers include "Abends kommen die Sterne" ("In the evening the stars appear"), "Wenn dieser Tag zu Ende geht" ("When this day comes to an end") and "Charade".
Wiesner married the German TV producer and personality Alexander Arnz (1932–2004) in 1999.
