In June 2022, the alumnae and alumni of the WZB finally met again at the WZB – due to the pandemic we all had to wait almost three years. At the heart of the program was a reading initiated by alumni speaker Christoph Albrecht: Former SPIEGEL deputy editor-in-chief Martin Doerry read from the letters of German-Jewish doctor Lilli Jahn with her children.

Die Wahl zum 21. Deutschen Bundestag am 23. Februar 2025 ist besonders: Eine vorgezogene Neuwahl, sieben Monate früher als geplant. Nach dem Bruch der Ampel-Koalition im November und der verlorenen Vertrauensfrage von Bundeskanzler Scholz im Dezember setzte Bundespräsident Steinmeier die Wahl für Februar an.
