MARTIN SONNEBORN »Krawall und Satire«

In the organizer's words:

For his TITANIC campaigns, Stern hailed him as a "riot satirist with profile neurosis", while the Berliner Kurier praised him for "Heimatkunde": "Nasty Ossi agitation! How can a person hate the Ossis so much?" After his short reports for the ZDF "Heute Show", the managing director of Germany's largest pharmaceutical association resigned and the Chinese Foreign Ministry demanded Sonneborn's execution.

An evening with Martin Sonneborn is a very unagitated multimedia spectacle with funny films, shocking insights into the political business, which the non-attached member of the European Parliament brings from the back rooms of power, and brutal political agitation in favor of the party "Die PARTEI", which is still reaching for power unnoticed in Germany.

Martin Sonneborn was editor-in-chief of TITANIC until 2005. In August 2004, he founded the PARTEI to rebuild the wall. Today it already has well over 8000 members in East and West. Since 2006 he has been head of the satirical SPAM section at Spiegel Online, and since 2009 he has been a field reporter for the "Heute Show" (ZDF). If "FAZ", Tagesthemen and Rudi Völler are to be believed, he brought the 2006 World Cup to Germany. The Berliner Zeitung wrote about "Heimatkunde": "Funnier than imagined" and "Der Spiegel" said: "An eerily beautiful snapshot of the state of unity".

He was awarded the Grimme Prize in 2014 for "Sonneborn rettet die Welt" (ZDFneo).
