Berlin's 72nd Bundespresseball: Annalena Baerbock's Head-Turning Moment
- Aiming for Stardom: Pursuit of Fame and Recognition
Get the lowdown on the 72nd Bundespresseball held at the Hotel Adlon in Berlin on April 4th. Green politician Annalena Baerbock (44) stole the show, not just for her stunning attire, but also for her unexpected encounter with estranged spouse Daniel Holefleisch (44).
Splitville Celebrations
After 17 years of marriage, Annalena Baerbock and Daniel Holefleisch announced their separation in November 2024. "We made a tough call, deciding in a prolonged process that we're no longer a couple," they said in a joint statement [1]. Months later, they were spotted at the same event - but not as a couple. Annalena Baerbock looked stunning in a bold coral-orange, long-sleeved gown [2], while Daniel Holefleisch slipped past photographers without a peep [3]. The couple had tied the knot in 2007 and welcomed daughters in 2011 and 2015. Their previous joint appearances at the Bundespresseball, following their split announcement, remain unclear.
Other attendees made headlines: Outgoing Finance Minister Jörg Kukies (57) celebrated his first public outing with his wife, according to "Bild".
Margot Friedländer Warns Against Anti-Democratic Tendencies
Heavyweight political figures flocked to the event for the 72nd time, with the 2025 theme being "For Democracy. Strengthening Press Freedom". Holocaust survivor Margot Friedländer (103) once again delivered a powerhouse speech, cautioning: "The evening's motto couldn't be more relevant. Without press freedom, there's no liberal democracy. I implore you: Stay alert. History must never repeat itself" [4].
