Heinz Hoenig after coma: I'm not finished yet!

The actor Heinz Hoenig has announced new plans for his professional future after a critical health condition and several heart procedures. Loud Explosive The 72-year-old, who recently recovered from an induced coma, wants to continue making films. In an enthusiastic statement he said: "I'm excited about my next film offer. Because I'm far from finished yet." Hoenig plans to practice his profession until he is 130 and feels his career is just beginning.

Before his recovery, Hoenig was in a hospital and required urgent surgery due to his critical health condition, complicated by bacterial inflammation and a hole in his esophagus. How nau.ch reported that he underwent emergency surgery and received a stent. His wife Annika Kärsten-Hoenig stated that he is reacting to her words, which initially gives hope for further progress in his condition.

Health challenges and financial worries

Hoenig's health problems are serious: he suffers from bacterial inflammation and urgently needs another operation in order to be able to continue living. This is made more difficult by his financial situation, as he has no health insurance due to personal bankruptcy in the past. The treatment costs amount to more than 90,000 euros (approx. 88,000 francs). His wife reported that she had been trying to cover him through joint insurance for the last three years, but had not been successful so far.

Hoenig's financial situation is tense; he only receives a small pension, which is not enough to secure his living. He receives support from colleagues, including the composer Ralph Siegel, who has set up an online donation page. Hoenig, who had financial difficulties in the 1990s and had to go through bankruptcy proceedings in 2019, is hoping for a turnaround through his return to the film business.
