What’s slippery? The political or the dance floor, Berlin’s new governor Kai Wegner (50) asked himself at the start of the VBKI ball on Saturday.
In his speech, he first regretted that the ball is not running smoothly for Hertha at the moment. The CDU politician then showed up with partner Kathleen Kantar (42) on the dance floor in the large ballroom of the InterConti.
Ex-FDP faction leader Sebastian Czaja (39) also came to the ball in a good mood with his wife Katharina (43), despite the election disaster for his party. He told BZ: “A taxi driver said to me: ‘Cheer up, thank you let’s get rid of the Greens in Berlin’.”

Ex-Traffic Senator Bettina Jarasch (54, Green) promptly ran past – in a short summer dress between the strikingly elegant, long robes. One of many Tuschel topics of the 1800 guests at Berlin’s noblest ball.
Just like the appearance of great restaurateur Thomas Worm (66). The owner of Schloss Diedersdorf came with his beautiful daughter Salina (23).

He to the BZ: “I’m single again. Now we can do the second edition of ‘Castle lord seeks damsels’.” The Berliner had once found the mother of his two children with the BZ under this heading.
