"I feel like raped"

Shock for Udo Jürgens (77)! The pop singer was broken in the last week. Among other things, a valuable watch collection was stolen - among them a pocket watch, which Udo Jürgens inherited from his grandfather.

The burglary leaves a deep wound and uncertainty for the singer: "I feel like raped, " he told the Swiss "Blick".

When Udo Jürgens came home after a meal with friends last week, the lights were on. "I took a biting smoke smell at first, at first I thought the whole house was on fire."

Then the shock: There was dust and dirt everywhere, the wall vault had broken open and the grandfather's 150-year-old pocket watch was gone. "My children cried when I told them the clock was gone, and this watch, which survived two world wars and saved my grandfather's life, has many memories for us."

After the break-in, Udo Jürgens now increasingly encounters security measures for his home in the Swiss community of Zumikon near Zurich. Because he knows: "There must have been professionals at work." They probably planned the raiding exactly. "

Police are investigating and Udo Jürgens hopes to find his grandfather's pocket watch again ...
