Andrea Kiewel celebrates its 60th birthday despite the Middle East conflict in Spain!

A special event was on the program: Andrea Kiewel celebrated her 60th birthday on June 10, 2025. On the occasion of this round anniversary, she was supposed to moderate a special program in the "ZDF television garden" on June 15, but the current developments in the Middle East region thwarted. According to merkur Israel-Iran conflicts do not travel to Mainz because the airspace was closed over Israel.

In their absence, Joachim Llambi and Lutz van der Horst jumped in as moderators. Llambi, who was originally intended as a sidekick, emphasized that Kiewel was doing well, but was very sad about being able to be at the anniversary program. The audience in Mainz did not allow himself to be ripped off and donated a warm applause for the moderator, whose return is already eagerly awaited, such as ZDF today reported.

The celebrations abroad

Andrea Kiewel did not just spent her 60th birthday on the lazy skin. Instead, she enjoyed a relaxing day in Spain, where she jumped into the hotel pool, among other things, and enjoyed two espressi. A visit to the impressive Sagrada Família in Barcelona was also on her agenda. In her column, she devoted herself to aging and youth craze and expressed her gratitude for her body, like Giessener Anzeiger

Although the conditions that led to their absence are anything but gratifying, the situation for Kiewel remains challenging. The spectators had hoped for the plan to hear them by video count from Tel Aviv, but it was unclear whether this would be possible in the hectic situation.
