Christian Heidel Celebrates 60th Birthday with Family in New York City

What a beautiful photo of family happiness in the Heidel home.

Mainz boss Christian Heidel celebrated his 60th birthday on Friday in a very, very close circle (BILD reported).

The motto is not Christian alone at home… – but Heidel with five in New York!

He threw the big party last year for his 59th in his second home on Mallorca – and announced back then: “I’m celebrating the 59th because I’ll be somewhere far away on my 60th.” In fact, the Mainzer now escaped any hustle and bustle, started a longer holiday trip last week.

First stop: New York – the Big Apple!

And there the family toasted the big birthday: Heidel with his partner Steffi (40) and his three children Sanita (9), Janina (28) and Patrick (31, both from their first marriage).

What gifts were there? Chick Sanita proudly presents one thing in the family photo that was taken over the roofs of New York: a Mainz 05 jersey with the number 60 on the back and the name “Don” printed on it. That’s what Heidel is called in the circle of friends. By the way, the little one herself also wore a 05 jersey for her birthday: flocked with “Dad 60”.

Whether parents, parents-in-law, friends and acquaintances, whether cult trainer Jürgen Klopp (55), BVB boss and DFB vice Hans-Joachim Watzke (63) or ex-Schalke boss Clemens Tönnies (67)… They all had to be content with congratulating via video message that Heidel’s Steffi had edited into a film.

And everyone has to be patient before they can congratulate them personally: The Heidels have meanwhile traveled on to Santa Monica (California), but will be back in Mainz for the start of training for the 05ers (July 2nd).
