According to information from RTL, 72-year-old actor Heinz Hoenig had to leave the jungle camp due to the extreme weather conditions in Australia.
This was not his decision, but that of the jungle camp doctors. According to reports, they carried out a short-term evacuation operation and secretly brought “Das Boot” star Heinz Hoenig to his family in the “Imperial Hotel” in Surfers Paradise via the rear entrance of the camp.

That’s why Heinz Hoenig gets his full salary despite being off
As bild.de reports, the jungle camp participants’ contract stipulates that participants who leave the camp early lose part of their salary. This was the case, for example, with Cora Schumacher, who left the camp after just three days for health reasons.
However, there is an important difference in Hoenig’s case. “He didn’t want to move out at all, but was taken out of the camp by the production company’s doctors,” reports BILD. This circumstance should enable him to receive the full fee.
Heinz Hoenig should receive a full salary, but in installments
However, the fee is not paid out all at once, but in installments. 20 percent is paid out when the contract is signed, a further 20 percent upon arrival in Australia. A further 25 percent will be paid out in the event of regular voting by viewers or in the event of a medical evacuation.
According to BILD, Hoenig will receive the remaining 35 percent of the fee after the show for complying with an exclusivity agreement with RTL. This means that in the first two weeks after the camp he has to give interviews exclusively for RTL and complete up to ten of them as well as three TV appearances in RTL formats.
According to bild.de, the jungle campers’ fees could be between 40,000 and 250,000 euros. Heinz Hoenig will receive around 150,000 euros. The actor can put this money to good use as he recently went through personal bankruptcy proceedings.
On Tuesday evening there was an exciting talk in the jungle camp: Kim Virginia revealed that she would like to go to bed with Oliver Pocher.
