Henning Christoph August von Anstetten is a fictional character from German soap opera Verbotene Liebe (Forbidden Love). The character was first played by Markus Hoffmann from the series premiere on January 2, 1995 to January 24, 1996. The character was recast two years later after Hoffmann committed suicide a year earlier. Actor Hendirk Martz played Henning from 1998 to April 5, 2000. The role was once again recast with actor Patrik Fichte, who premiered on-screen on April 7, 2000 and played the role to the character's death on November 13, 2002.
The character found its origin in Wayne Hamilton of Sons and Daughters. Henning was shown as a snob, who wants to impress his father with his business skills. Always the feeling that Christoph favored his sister Julia over him, father and son clash many times. When Henning finds out that Julia isn't related to him, he's surprisingly very supportive of her well-being and still sees her as his sister. Henning also shows dark trails with the introduction of Tanja Wittkamp, but with time is shown as a warm and suffering hero. With the character's recasts in 1998 and 2000 the character seems more softened and became a romantic lead. Even though her schemes cost Christoph his life, Henning remains close with his longtime-stepmother Clarissa through his existence.
Henning comes from a wealthy family and is an ambitious young man. He tries to make his father Christoph proud, but seems to fail every time, when Christoph gives him the feeling that he wasn't good enough. In the early years, Henning is jealous over his younger sister Julia, who always gets the attention from Christoph. The best relationship has he for years with his stepmother Clarissa. But he is shocked, when it's revealed that Julia isn't his sister. Clarissa brought her into her marriage with Christoph, whom she met a short time after Julia was born. Christoph knew about it all the years, still accepted Julia as his daughter and still treated his own son in a strange way. Henning and Christoph have their good and their bad times in their father-son relationship, but never found a special bound to each other.
