She was born in Berlin as Hannelore Renner. In the years of her husbands chancellorship, she founded the Hannelore Kohl Stiftung[?] and the Kuratorium ZNS[?].
On July 5, 2001, she was found dead in her Ludwigshafen home. Hannelore Kohl had committed suicide after years of suffering from a very rare and painful photo allergy[?]. Induced by an earlier penicillin treatment, the illness had forced her to practically avoid all sunlight for years.
