About Salon Evening Sigmar Gabriel

The Salon Evening with Sigmar Gabriel on June 8, 2026, at the Lessingtheater Wolfenbüttel promises an extraordinary evening with political insights, personal experiences, and engaged dialogue. The former Federal Minister, Vice-Chancellor, and SPD chairman, who maintains a special connection to the region with his Lower Saxon roots, offers rare glimpses into the backrooms of national and European politics. Embedded in the popular Salon Evening format of the Lessingtheater – a concept that revives the classic literary-political salon of the 19th century in a contemporary form – the evening combines conversation, reflection, and encounter in an intimate atmosphere. An event for those interested in politics and for anyone who wants to look behind the scenes of political events.

Salon Evening as a Cultural Format

The Salon Evenings at the Lessingtheater Wolfenbüttel are a proven format that translates the tradition of literary-political salons of the 18th and 19th centuries into the 21st century. Personalities from politics, science, business, culture, and society are invited to speak about their experiences, convictions, and visions in a relaxed atmosphere. The audience becomes an active part of the evening, the conversation opens up to discussion, and the theater evening becomes an encounter.

Sigmar Gabriel as a Guest

Sigmar Gabriel was Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Vice-Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. As SPD chairman, he shaped German politics for several years and is now active as a publicist, commentator, and consultant. With his roots in Lower Saxony – he comes from Goslar and was Minister-President of Lower Saxony – he maintains special connections to the region.

Politics First-Hand

The evening promises insights into political decision-making processes that rarely find space in public reporting. How are international negotiations prepared? How are political compromises made? What role do personal relationships play in global diplomacy? Sigmar Gabriel's experience from over two decades of political responsibility promises an evening that goes beyond the usual political debate and allows for personal reflection.
