BERLIN (Reuters) - Oscar-winning director Robert Redford married his long-term German partner Sibylle Szaggars in the northern port city of Hamburg last weekend, a church spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
Redford, 72, and Szaggars, a 51-year-old artist, have been together for more than a decade, according to media reports.
The ceremony, in Szaggars's home town, took place at the five-star Louis C. Jacob Hotel on Saturday afternoon, Renate Massfeller of St. Catherine's Church said. She declined to give any further details.
Hotel officials declined to comment. Newspaper Bild has offered 10,000-euro ($14,000) for the first picture of the wedding and said it would publish it on its front page.
Redford's New York representative could not be reached immediately for comment.
About 30 friends and family members attended the ceremony, according to Hamburger Abendblatt. The newspaper said the bride wore a champagne-colored dress and Redford wore a white suit.
Redford, an actor, director and environmentalist, founded the non-profit arts organization Sundance Institute and launched the Sundance Festival that has become the premiere event for U.S. independent films.
Redford has starred in more than 40 films in a career spanning five decades. He won an Academy Award for best director for the 1980 film "Ordinary People."
