Angela Merkel visits the DAI Heidelberg

On Thursday, September 25, 2025, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel will accept the invitation of the German-American Institute (DAI) Heidelberg to read from “Freiheit. Memories 1954-2021”.

“As a cultural center dedicated to the promotion of democracy and international understanding, we are particularly pleased to welcome Angela Merkel and to host this event with her. Her visit is a strong sign of what drives us every day: an open society based on solidarity and a strong, lively debate,” says DAI Director Lena Jöhnk.

Admission to the Neue Aula opens on September 25 at 5:30 pm and the event ends at around 8:30 pm. There is free seating.
