Love Declaration to His Wife - Heinz Hoenig and wife renew vows after his near-fatal infection battle
Actor Heinz Hoenig (74) and his wife Annika Kärsten-Hoenig (40) have renewed their wedding vows in 2025, six years after their original ceremony. The couple’s journey has been marked by a severe health crisis in 2024, when Hoenig nearly lost his life to a bacterial infection that left him in intensive care for 143 days. In late April 2024, Hoenig was rushed to the hospital with acute heart complications caused by a bacterial infection. The illness severely damaged his esophagus, forcing doctors to remove it in emergency surgery. He spent nearly five months in intensive care, including a medically induced coma, and underwent multiple operations. Hoenig’s recovery and the couple’s renewed commitment highlight a period of resilience and love. Their story follows a near-fatal illness, months of rehabilitation, and a public celebration of their relationship. The actor’s return to events like the Golden Bild der Frau signals his gradual return to normal life.
