We discuss the origin of hot hydrogen-deficient post-AGB stars. Evidence is growing that the “born-again AGB star scenario” as a consequence of a late He shell flash cannot explain the diverse observations. Analyses of the stars and their associated planetary nebulae suggest that the H-deficiency is not formed during the second post-AGB phase but already while the star is still on the AGB. There are even hints that the H-deficiency can occur before the first departure from the AGB.
