Henriette Strobel

Henriette Strobel (at one point Henriette Heichel) is a German singer and dancer best known as a member of the pop group Dschinghis Khan. The group was formed in 1979 for the Eurovision Song Contest and became internationally successful with their self-titled song “Dschinghis Khan.” 1

Strobel was part of the original lineup of the group, which was created by producer Ralph Siegel and lyricist Bernd Meinunger. Known for her energetic stage presence and distinctive choreography, she contributed to the group’s visual identity and performances during their peak popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s. 2

Following the group’s initial disbandment in the mid-1980s, Strobel largely withdrew from the public music scene. However, she later participated in reunion performances when Dschinghis Khan reformed in various lineups. 3

Her work remains associated with the Eurodisco era and the enduring popularity of novelty pop acts in European music history. 2
