German Film Ball 2025: First time and repeat offenders in Munich

For the 49th time, the German Filmball in Munich took place on Saturday evening. The star -picked guest list threw himself in shell and presented glamorous looks on the red carpet and in the ballroom of the Hotel Bayerischer Hof. Get-trying guests, for whom the event is primarily a reunion among friends, also mingled with familiar faces who sniffed film ball air for the first time.

“It is the first time that I am at the German Filmball,” revealed Gloria-Sophie Burkandt (26), daughter of Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (58), in an interview with Spot on News. “But I thought, since it was in Munich, I also have to drop by,” said the model, which in a sparkling sequin robe by Giulia & Romeo in silver stepped on the red carpet. The 26-year-old has a connection to the industry. “I recently produced a short film, a science fiction film, so I’m happy to immerse yourself in the film world. Even if it is a hard field.” Otherwise, the fashion world is more yours. “And I’m just writing my doctoral thesis,” said Burkandt. In addition to the contacts, you will also conquer the dance floor? “When it comes to a classic waltz, it won’t work today. If it is more about club, house matters, I’ll be there.”

“Crime scene” star Ferdinand Hofer (31) also celebrated his film ball premiere. “I’m here for the first time, so I’m curious to see what awaits me. I am very happy,” said the actor, who looked like a film ball in the elegant black tuxedo. In his life he “already had a few dance courses behind” and was therefore well prepared for the dance floor. “I think I can do something like that,” said Hofer confidently.

For many stars, the film ball was not a new terrain and even an appointment of the weekend, which they still did not want to miss. Uschi Glas (80) accepted her honorary award on Friday before the Bavarian Film Award was awarded. But she does not get too much for her red-carpet hopping, she emphasized: “It is like this every year. You can’t pull it apart because people travel extra.” Since she lives in Munich, it is flexible – but from consideration for the other guests, she likes to throw two consecutive days into the fray. For the film ball, glass appeared in a silver shimmering robe.

Not the Bavarian Film Award, but a celebrity event in Kitzbühel, Austria, took actress Palina Rojinski (39) shortly before the film. The legendary Hahnenkamm ski race will take place there until Sunday. “So I’m well invited, I’m on the slopes. In Kitzbühel it was really exciting, really cool. Full of the good atmosphere, mega weather, so that was like a dream,” she enthused from the event. But of course she is of course also very much looking forward to the film ball, especially to her colleagues: “That we all spend a good time together and update.”

“Kitzbühel was short and short,” said Matthias Schweighöfer (43), who appeared in a black partner look for the film ball with his partner Ruby O. Fee (28). Previously, they stopped in Austria and experienced the well -known white sausage party in the Stanglwirt there. “We were in bed early because we knew that it would be a long evening again today.”

Riccardo Simonetti (31), who recently spent his honeymoon with husband Steven in South Africa, also came to no real breather. “It was a very special time,” summed up the entertainer, who chose a glitter Hollywood look with Cape from Dawid Tomaszewski (44) for the evening in Munich. “As a rule, you only do something like honeymoon once in life. That is why we were aware of every day and we found it very precious. However, I was also very sick in the meantime, but now it works again.” Rest has not stopped since then, as his visit to the film ball, “but for me it can go on like this”. His husband would “definitely” come to such an event, “but the right opportunity has simply not arisen. It will also take a while.”

Others took it easy in front of the ball. “I was not at the film award, so I haven’t really hit people and are now looking forward to a lot of conversations,” reported Jessica Schwarz (47) on the red carpet. The last year was “not so easy”, so she was excited to see how “the mood is so,” said the actress. “Last year, at events, you already realized that it was steamed. I am excited to see if there will be such a new year power and energy. That will be interesting to track down today.”

She also hopes that she will find someone to dance. “I like to dance, but it is so difficult to find someone who loves to dance among colleagues my age. And those who like to do it are already occupied. you can register. The actress was open to the end of the evening. “Munich is getting wild from a certain point in time. My husband is still coming, he sometimes becomes wild (laughs). We have a day longer, so we can sleep in.” If the hangover is noticeable, there is a “insanely good combination that always helps,” said Schwarz. “Aspirin complex, a hydrating remedy and greasy fries, then everything is fine again.”

Heike Makatsch (53) was also played for dancing. “I haven’t been here for a long time, but earlier. And it was always legendary that you danced wildly, even though it didn’t necessarily always meet your own music taste. I hope it will be the case again today.”

There was little to notice of the steamed mood in the hall and on the dance floor. Among other things, Andrea Sawatzki and Christian Berkel, Jella Hasse and Max von der Groeben, Veronica Ferres and Carsten Maschmeyer or Jannis Nomewöhner frolicked there. Elena Uhlig (49) formed a special eye -catcher: the actress appeared as a hat with a huge film role. “Where we are only digital today, a film role is very nice,” she explained her outfit election to Spot on News.
