Matthias Reim: Tax, residential, and music developments

Overview

German singer Matthias Reim is navigating significant financial, residential, and professional transitions. Following a tax dispute, Reim was ordered to pay 35,000 euros in back taxes because authorities determined his permanent separation from former wife Sarah Stanek occurred in 2013, rather than when the divorce was finalized in 2017. In response, Reim and his wife, Christin Stark, relocated from their 600-square-meter family home in Stockach to a smaller apartment in Überlingen.

Professionally, Reim is focusing on his career retrospective. His new 15-track album, ‘Flashback’, which blends rock and Schlager music, was released on September 18, 2026. The project aims for creative authenticity by moving away from current trends, incorporating snippets from older hits like ‘Aus meinem Kopf’. The album also features collaborations with singer Mia Julia and Reim’s son, Julian Reim.

However, Reim has announced that his planned musical based on his hit ‘Verdammt, ich lieb’ dich’ is currently on hold. He stated the project is at a standstill because his extensive two-year anniversary tour has been more successful and time-consuming than anticipated. Reim noted the musical requires ‘heart and soul’ that he cannot currently provide alongside his concert schedule and album production. He intends to potentially revisit the musical in 2028. Despite this pause, the 68-year-old singer expressed no intention of retiring from the stage and explicitly ruled out a comeback to the ‘Ballermann’ party scene. Additionally, his daughter, Marie Reim, recently announced her separation from former footballer Raphael Wolf after a two-year relationship and is moving to Düsseldorf.
