"Crown" man of the heart
He donates his blood “out of love for people”
Heinrich Strießnig has donated blood 150 times to save lives. For this he was nominated as a "Krone" Heart Man! But the man from Klagenfurt is also a man of the heart because of another passion!
"For us, Mr Strießnig is not just a blood donor, but a lifesaver," praises Imrana Jashari, organizational head of the blood donation system in Carinthia. Heinrich Strießnig from Klagenfurt has "held out his arm" a total of 150 times, which is why the 72-year-old was nominated by his son Thomas for the "Krone" Heart Man campaign.
"I've donated blood about five times a year for the last twenty years," says the fit Klagenfurt native proudly. "Anyone who does this work and takes the time again and again is definitely a person of the heart," says Albert Sima, medical director of the blood donation service.
What is the motivation behind this? "I would like to refer to the motto of the Red Cross: Out of love for people," says Strießnig, who also gladdened hearts for 25 years as a singer with the Kärntner Doppelsextett.
