Overview

• During a family trip to Munich, Hoenig’s feeding tube dislodged at a rest stop and he received prompt treatment at a local clinic.
• Since returning home last September, the 73-year-old actor has regained independent walking and stair-climbing after 143 days in intensive care.
• Hoenig is planning to resume film and stage roles and has expressed confidence that he is fit for on-set work despite ongoing feeding-tube support.
• The actor remains uninsured, forcing his wife, Annika Kärsten-Hoenig, to coordinate his medical appointments, lab tests and rehabilitation logistics.
• His surgical team cannot set a date for the critical aorta repair until they secure an MRI, which is currently unfeasible because of his pacemaker.
