Jennifer Holzendorf, a cardiac technology student from Oranienburg, surprised host Günther Jauch on the quiz show «Wer wird Millionär?» by revealing that she financed her studies by working for roughly a year in a dominatrix studio as a “white dominatrix.”
The Bottom Line
- Jennifer Holzendorf utilized her prior training from nursing to secure a role in a specialized “white area” of a dominatrix studio.
- The position involved medical practices such as placing catheters and administering enemas, which offered significantly better pay than standard nursing roles.
- Following the completion of her studies, Holzendorf transitioned away from the adult entertainment industry and now works as a clinical specialist repairing heart valves.
Financing Studies Through an Unusual Side Job
During an episode of the RTL quiz show, contestant Jennifer Holzendorf opened up about how she managed to pay for her education. Lacking access to BAföG state educational grants, Holzendorf needed an independent source of income to support her bachelor’s degree in cardiac technology. A friend suggested she apply to a dominatrix studio.
Günther Jauch bringt bei «Wer wird Millionär?» nichts so leicht aus der Ruhe. Doch der Beruf einer Kandidatin lässt den Moderator dann doch sprachlos zurück.

Upon arriving for her interview, studio management realized her healthcare background made her an ideal fit for a specific part of their operation. Du kommst aus der Klinik. Wir brauchen jemanden für den weissen Bereich,
Holzendorf recounted, explaining how she was recruited for the studio’s specialized medical-themed sector.
The Operations of the White Sector
The role differed significantly from the mainstream public perception of a dominatrix, which Holzendorf referred to as the “black” variant. Instead, the white sector focused on medical-sounding and clinical practices. Holzendorf utilized her professional hospital background to perform tasks that included placing catheters and needles, as well as administering enemas.
The workspace mirrored a hospital room rather than a conventional dungeon. It featured white-tiled walls and medical instruments, including a speculum, infusion setups, and various catheters. When Jauch questioned whether she hesitated to take on such employment, Holzendorf noted that her nursing background meant she had fewer reservations about close physical contact with clients.
A key factor in her year-long tenure at the studio was strict adherence to boundaries and consent. Holzendorf emphasized that every practice had to be entirely voluntary and non-harmful, supported by pre-arranged safety words. She also pointed out a straightforward economic reality that motivated her choice: the position paid better than standard hospital work.
Transition to Clinical Practice
Holzendorf has since left the adult entertainment industry entirely. Today, she works professionally as a clinical specialist in the clinical field service. In this role, she assists physicians with repairing diseased heart valves, bringing her career path back into a traditional medical environment.
The specific television episode featuring her appearance is currently available for streaming on RTL+, with its scheduled linear television broadcast on RTL approaching on November 2, 2026.
