The pageant was held in London, United Kingdom.[3] Schürmann finished only third in the Miss Germany pageant, but was chosen to represent her country in London because of her better knowledge of English.[6]
At that time Schürmann was studying philosophy and history of the arts at the universities of Bonn and Cologne.[7][3] After winning her Miss World title, she continued her studies in Munich.[6] Beginning with the 1960s Schürmann entered an ongoing radio and television career, primarily with the Munich-based Bayerischer Rundfunk.[3] She also did some acting and wrote several books.[3]

Schürmann never fully recovered from the loss of her daughter, with whom she was very close.[1][7][3] From 2003 until her death, she was involved in an intimate relationship with Felix Raslag, CEO of a biotech company in Munich, who was 35 years her junior.[8][9][10][11]
Death
Schürmann retired in 2006 with her husband to their house on the shores of Lake Starnberg, south of Munich.[7] When he died in August 2008, they had been married for 35 years.[4][5][6] She died on 14 January 2010 in her home in Starnberg following a long illness.[1]
