Overview

• Heinz Hoenig, 74, attended the 75th-anniversary party of Hamburg’s rock bar Zwick in St. Pauli on Thursday evening.
• He told Bild, “I am very happy to be here,” and was seen walking on his own as his wife, Annika Kärsten-Hoenig, held his hand through the evening.
• Annika said he was eager to see old colleagues and accepted the invitation immediately.
• The couple arrived earlier in the day and spent time walking around St. Pauli before the celebration.
• The outing follows a July appearance in Berlin during a gradual recovery from hospitalization, an induced coma and later esophageal surgery, with his management previously launching a fundraiser due to a reported lack of health insurance.
