Heinz Hoenig gets married again on Sylt – love despite criticism and debts!
Heinz Hoenig (73) married his wife Annika Kärsten-Hoenig (40) again on the island of Sylt on March 29, 2025. The intimate ceremony took place in the “Strandhörn” hotel, a four-star hotel, and was attended by only 15 selected guests, including actress Jenny Elvers, who gave the wedding speech. This wedding marks the second time the couple is tying the knot and this came after some health setbacks for the actor.
Last year, Hoenig had to overcome acute heart problems that led to a coma and resuscitation in a Berlin hospital. The financial burden of his treatment was considerable: 400,000 euros were estimated for the costs by the end of June 2024, of which 178,000 euros were raised through donations. The “Gofundme” campaign had already raised 184,757 euros in March 2025. Annika stood by him faithfully during this difficult time and asked for support for his treatment costs.
Intimacy and criticism
Although the wedding is seen as a strong symbol of their unconditional love, there has been significant criticism of the celebration. Some people find it unreasonable to decide to get married while medical expenses are still unfunded. On social networks, numerous users are critical of the couple and their decision. Annika publicly commented on these negative reactions by pointing out the lack of understanding of people who cannot understand her life situation.
Annika hopes that society will be more open and less judgmental towards other people's lives. She emphasizes that the wedding is a sign of her love and support for Heinz, even in difficult times. Additionally, Annika chose to wear the same wedding dress as at her first wedding on March 30, 2019, which is a loving tribute to their original union.
Stay strong together
Despite the ongoing criticism, Annika remains optimistic. She fights for her values and makes it clear that the wedding is not only a celebration, but also an affirmation of their shared strength. Annika wants to counteract “unrest, hatred and bullying” and wants people to be able to better understand and accept the background to their situation. On her social media, she calls for the positive energy and support that she and Heinz need during this time.
The second wedding of Hoenig and Kärsten-Hoenig not only shows the return to normality after serious health challenges, but also the couple's unshakable will to look into the future together.
