Heinz Hoenig is fighting for survival: shocking operation and family help!

Heinz Hoenig, the popular actor, fights for his life in the hospital! The 73-year-old, known from the cult film "Das Boot", had to undergo numerous operations due to a severe bacterial infection. He has been in medical treatment since the end of April 2024 and the situation is critical. His wife, Annika Kärsten-Hoenig, is at his side in this difficult time and supports him while fighting against the disease.

The dramatic events rolled over: Hoenig needs a new aorta and a dangerous operation on the esophagus, which was successfully carried out on May 13th. But the relief is short -lived. Annika said that her husband's chances of survival were low and after the procedure he had to be artificially fed for at least nine months. Hoenig decided to carry out the risky operations to save his life. "I'm doing very well," he said after leaving the jungle camp, where he had to leave the show on the twelfth day at Medical Council.

fundraising campaign saves life

The family, however, faces another problem: Heinz Hoenig is not insured and the financial means for the operations are limited. For this reason, a fundraising campaign for "Gofundme" was launched. The original target of 50,000 euros was increased to 150,000 euros due to complications. The entire sum even exceeded expectations and achieved an impressive 140,000 euros in order to cover the enormous costs of the interventions. The support of the fans and the public shows how very Hoenig is estimated.

Heinz Hoenig, born on September 24, 1951 in Landsberg am Lech, has worked in over 100 film and television productions. His life path led him from the Schlosser apprenticeship to the acting career, which culminated with his role in "The Boot". The fans hope that he will soon be strengthened from this difficult time and can continue to shine on the screen.
