Martin Sonneborn: Riot and satire

For his TITANIC actions, the star hailed him as a “riot satirist with profile neurosis,” and the Berliner Kurier praised him for “local history”: “Bad Ossi agitation! How can a person hate the Ossis so much?!” After his short reports for ZDF's “Heute Show”, the managing director of the largest German pharmaceutical association resigned and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanded Sonneborn's execution.

An evening with Martin Sonneborn is a completely unagitated multimedia spectacle with funny films, shocking insights into the political scene that the non-attached member of the European Parliament brings back from the back rooms of power, and brutal political agitation in favor of the PARTY, which is still reaching for power in Germany unnoticed.

Martin Sonneborn was editor-in-chief at TITANIC until 2005. In August 2004, he founded Die PARTEI to rebuild the wall. Today, it already has well over 8,000 members in East and West. Since 2006, he has been head of the satirist department SPAM at Spiegel Online, and since 2009 foreign reporter for the “Heute Show” (ZDF). If you believe FAZ, “Tagesthemen” and Rudi Völler, he brought the soccer World Cup to Germany in 2006. The Berliner Zeitung wrote about “local history”: “Stranger than made up” and Der Spiegel judged: “An eerily beautiful snapshot of the state of unity.” He was awarded the Grimme Prize in 2014 for “Sonneborn Rettet die Welt” (ZDFneo).
