Summer party - "Stable guard party" heralds political summer break
Baden-Württemberg - "THE AerospaceLAND": Under this slogan, hundreds of guests are starting tonight at the "Landesvertretung" of Baden-Württemberg in Berlin for the political summer break in the capital. According to the statements of the State Ministry, around 1800 guests were expected - among them also a lot of federal political prominence.
Among the confirmed guests are Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens), Economic Minister Robert Habeck (Greens), Green Party leader Ricarda Lang and CDU leader Friedrich Merz. Bundesminister of Agriculture Cem Özdemir (Greens) is also on the guest list, who is considered a promising candidate for the succession of Minister-President Winfried Kretschmann (Greens).
Which top politicians the host will actually welcome in the end depends on the political situation. Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP), and Economic Minister Robert Habeck came together for further consultations on the budget plan for 2025 in the afternoon. It is calculated that the meeting of the coalition will last deep into the night.
As musical star guest, the state government has invited the Stuttgart singer Peter Schilling. To his hit "Major Tom," hundreds of thousands of soccer fans are currently "completely detached" dancing and celebrating. The motto of the 59th edition of the party fits well with the song. According to the state government, many companies and research institutions from the aviation and space industry will present themselves at the event.
With this, they want to focus on a facet of Baden-Württemberg that many people are not aware of, said Kretschmann. In the field of aviation and space, Southwest Germany does not play in the German midfield, but in the Champions League. "As an innovative location of a branch that deals with real future topics, not with elevated issues and extravagant questions, but with actual future topics."
The "Stallwächterparty" is invited every year before the parliamentary summer break in political Berlin. It is one of the largest summer parties in the capital. Originally, it was held right in the middle of the parliamentary summer break, but for some time now, it has been taking place shortly before. Since 1964, it has been celebrated. Back then, in Bonn, everything was still a little smaller: About 70 employees, who had to "hold the stable" for the Dämmerschoppen with red sausages and Trollinger, were present.

- Cem Özdemir, a prominent Green Party member and potential successor to Winfried Kretschmann, will also be present at the 'Stallwächterparty'.
