After attending elementary school and secondary school in Zwittau, Hönig began studying. Due to the death of his two older brothers in the First World War , he had to break off this prematurely to work in his father's company, a cement manufacturer . From 1922 he worked in a larger concrete factory in Cottbus . He began to get involved in the Sudeten German movement in the 1920s. He became chairman of the National Socialist youth group in Zwittau, member of the executive board of the Bund der Deutschen and Gauschwimmwart of the German Gymnastics Association.

From the spring of 1938 until the annexation of the Sudeten area by the National Socialist German Reich , Hönig was a member of the state representation of the state of Moravia-Silesia in Brno . After the takeover of the SdP by the NSDAP, he became the representative for the development of the district of Mährisch-Trübau and then district leader of Mährisch-Trübau .

On the occasion of the by-election to the Reichstag elected in April 1938 on December 4, 1938, Hönig received a mandate for the National Socialist Reichstag , in which he then sat until the end of the Nazi regime as a member of the Sudeten region.
