"Neue Post" visited Prince Ferfried von Hohenzollern
He belongs to Germany's aristocracy. But he was known by scandals. NEW POST puts him in the right light
For a chat with Ferfried von Hohenzollern (66), it's best to meet at the fine Munich hotel "Mandarin Oriental". Over coffee and mineral water, the grandson of the last Saxon King relishes an expensive "Villiger 1888" cigar. Coziness in Fürstenart! Prince Ferfried comes from one of the most important aristocratic houses in Germany and is even widely related to Empress Sisi! But he did not always follow the motto "nobility obligated": Ferfried ruined his reputation. In NEUE POST he now delivered a relentless life confession. Currently the prince lives in a 30 square meter apartment, which he does not like to show. " I'm just looking for a bigger place to stay. Munich is ideal for me. Besides, my family lives here who helped me when I was feeling sick recently. "In March 2009, Ferfried collapsed. " I had multiple organ dysfunction, triggered by a pancreatitis, which was in turn promoted by alcohol. I had not drunk anything for fifteen years and then thought I could treat myself to a quarter of wine. That did not work. "His family was there for him: the daughters Valerie (40) and Stephanie (38) with the sons-in-law and four grandchildren and his brother Johann Georg (77). His ex-wife Angela Wepper (69), mother of his daughters, visited him in the clinic. Her second marriage with Fritz Wepper (68) is currently on everyone's lips, because the actor is currently turtle with another. For Angela Wepper an embarrassing situation. What would Ferfried tell her now? " You can not guess anything. The Angela always does what she wants, whether it's right or wrong. "
That he himself made mistakes in terms of love, Ferfried admits today: " It was his own inability, bad knowledge of human nature and the devil alcohol. "In the marriage with the noble Angela of tomorrow, so Angela Wepper's maiden name, but it was rather lack of maturity. " At 25 you are unable to admit that something is going wrong. Besides, a baby was coming, and I did not mean to be shabby. " The whole thing has hurt me, it was kooky and embarrassing " With his second wife Eliane (62), with whom he also has two children, the happiness of alcohol broke. This regrets Ferfried until today. Unlike Maja (38), wife number three: " I do not think of them at all. "Then there was Tatjana Gsell (38), widow of a cosmetic surgeon. He had his affair with her accompanied by TV. That depends on him today. " It all hurt me, it was killer and embarrassing. " Ferfried's wish: From now on it should go up again. With the new apartment. And maybe with a new love.
