The focus of the evening was on this year’s award winners – Anja Gehlken, Ninon Demuth, Bettina Landgrafe, Barbara Stäcker, Julia Cissewski and Sylke Hoß.

“It is a great pleasure and honor for us to host the GOLDENE BILD DER FRAU gala this year. The dedication of all award winners deserves our greatest respect because these everyday heroines have shown that an incredible amount can be achieved with courage, warm-heartedness and creativity. We are delighted to support the projects awarded today with 10,000 euro each,” said Felix Eichhorn, President of AIDA Cruises, who as well spontaneously invited the award winners to a cruise aboard AIDAprima.

To start off the event, TV star and host Kai Pflaume welcomed 550 guests from the worlds of politics, business and showbiz at AIDAprima’s Theatrium. Among them Katarina Barley, Federal Minister for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, Thomas Heinze, Herbert Knaup, Mareile Höppner, Sophie Wepper, Elisabeth Lanz, Tim Mälzer, Tim Mälzer, Jorge Gonzáles and soccer player Hans Sarpei.
