Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on July 01, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Nico Helminger! May your day be filled with more delightful drama than "Miss Minett" and fewer plot twists than "Kitsch." Your literary adventures across Luxembourg, France, and Germany have given us timeless tales—each one a masterpiece that keeps readers smiling (and occasionally scratching their heads).

From captivating short stories in "Kurzgeschichten" to the lyrical charm of your opera librettos, you've proven yourself a master storyteller who effortlessly blends wit with wisdom. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've brought to literature—and may your next chapter be even funnier than the last!
