This year it goes with order knight Gregor Gysi, Laudator Markus Söder and the Christian Lindner appearing as a singer particularly foolishly on the celebration meeting of the AKV.
Other highlights of the session include the appearance of FDP federal chairman and former knight of the order Christian Lindner, who self-ironically performs his own version of the Milva hit "Hurra, wir leben noch" ("Hurray, we're still alive"), and appearances by WDR journalist Bettina Böttinger as Queen Elizabeth, who looks on with majestic detachment at political events in Germany, Europe and overseas.
In addition to AKV President Werner Pfeil, presenter and ARD Tagesschau anchorman Jens Riewa will once again lead the festive session in the Aachen Eurogress.
Other big names from day-to-day politics will be guests: Elmar Brok and Gertrud Höhler.
