Trial of Jimi Blue Oxenknecht set for August 22nd
==================================================================
In a surprising turn of events, actor Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht, son of renowned German actors Uwe Ochsenknecht and Natascha, is embroiled in a legal battle in Austria. The controversy stems from an unpaid hotel bill of around 14,000 euros from 2021 in Tyrol, where Ochsenknecht is accused of serious fraud for failing to pay despite reminders and court orders [1][4].
The court appearance is scheduled for August 22 at the Innsbruck Regional Court, with the trial expected to last approximately an hour [2]. Ochsenknecht was provisionally arrested and taken into custody at Hamburg Airport at the end of June, and he was extradited to Innsbruck in a multi-day transport with stopovers in July [3].
Following his arrest, Ochsenknecht was released on bail but is not allowed to leave Austria until the trial concludes [3]. The hotel where the bill was unpaid has since confirmed that the outstanding amount has been settled [1]. However, further allegations remain, including an unpaid restaurant bill of about 1,900 euros [1].
In an interview during a podcast recording with RTL, Ochsenknecht's sister Cheyenne revealed the news of his arrest and extradition [5]. Cheyenne also disclosed that Jimi Blue has been living with her in Austria since his release from custody [3]. The family's TV series, "Diese Ochsenknechts," will reportedly cover this topic in its fourth season, which began filming in March and is set to continue until September [6].
During his court appearance, Ochsenknecht told the judge that he would take responsibility for the matter but did not comment on the allegation [3]. As of early August 2025, there is no publicly available final court verdict yet on the outcome of the case.
