Hansi Berg was the daughter of the Jewish actor Eugen Berg. In 1923 she met Hans Albers and she would become his most important partner, allthough he liked to mess around with other women.

Initially she was protected from the nazi's by Albers' fame and popularity, but in 1938 she was forced to flee to Switzerland. From there she went to England. Her father died in 1944 in Theresienburg. She married Erich Blydt from Norway, but in 1946 she returned to Albers.

Together they lived in Garatshausen at Lake Starnberg near Munich. Albers died in 1960 and when Hansi sold the estate to the state of Bavaria in 1971 she was allowed to continue living there. She died in 1975 and was buried in Tutzing.
