Later in 1982, she released three studio albums, one German (Ein bißchen Frieden) and the other in English (A Little Peace) and Meine kleine Freiheit. Like the title tracks, most of the songs have corresponding German and English tracks.

In 2005 she co-produced her album Alles Fließt, which was released in May of that year. which was accompanied by a three-month "unplugged" tour that ended in January 2009.

Personal life Hohloch is one of four children, born to Marliese and Siegfried Hohloch. She grew up with her brother and two sisters in the small community of Nohfelden in Saarland. It was there that she attended school and graduated from high school. She is an honorary citizen of her hometown of Nohfelden.

Hohloch married Winfried Seibert (a childhood friend she had known since she was 14) in a civil ceremony on 17 August 1984; a day later they had a wedding ceremony in a church. They have two children and live at Neunkirchen, Nohfelden.

She likes to give concerts in churches because of the atmosphere and acoustics. Since she was a child, she has found answers in her spirituality and firmly believes that guardian angels will take care of her. This belief was reinforced by some events in her life. In one such instance, Hohloch had planned a trip for Thailand in the winter of 2004, around the time the tsunami struck, killing over 220,000 people. Due to strong recommendations from friends, she cancelled her trip to Thailand and went to South Africa instead.

She supports various humanitarian causes, such as child abuse prevention, and healthy activities for homeless children in the Philippines. She continues to campaign for Rett syndrome and for "life without chains". She has been to Africa twice for Welthungerhilfe. 1993: Echo Award for Best Schlager Female Artist (of 1992)
