“Rendez-vous at Centre Bagatelle” is a regular series of conversations and gatherings featuring prominent figures from the worlds of culture, politics, literature, and television.

The focus is on a special guest who, together with the well-known journalist and host Ulli Zelle, shapes the evening’s program.

This time, he welcomes Emine Demirbüken-Wegner, District Mayor of Reinickendorf—a woman who has shaped Berlin’s local politics for many years with energy, empathy, and a clear voice.

Born in Ankara and at home in Berlin since her youth, she embodies active integration, social responsibility, and dialogue between cultures. As a longtime member of the city parliament and senator, she has been particularly committed to education, youth, and civic participation. Her dedication is characterized by a closeness to people and a tireless commitment to the common good.

In a relaxed, salon-like atmosphere, Ulli Zelle will guide the conversation, steer the topics, and ensure a lively exchange on current social issues, personal experiences, and developments in politics and city life. Whether anecdotes from the daily life of a district mayor, insights into political decision-making processes, or humorous side glances at Berlin’s happenings—this evening promises depth, conviction, and charm.

To conclude, a small get-together invites you to strike up a conversation with the guest and other visitors and to round off the evening in a warm, personal setting.
