Starting in summer 2025, Gregor Gysi will meet individuals at the Neues Kunstmuseum who have something significant to say and have experienced a great deal: prominent contemporary figures from public life, including media, culture, politics, entertainment, music, sports, and society.

Hardly any German statesman has been so reviled, yet hardly any has successfully navigated the thicket of hostility to achieve recognized prominence and become one of the most important protagonists of left-wing thought in Germany.

Gregor Gysi, born in Berlin in 1948, is a lawyer, author, podcaster, presenter, and politician. From 1990-2002 and from 2005-2015, he was parliamentary group leader of the PDS, and later of the Left Party, in the Bundestag. From 2020-2023, he served as the foreign policy spokesperson for the Left parliamentary group. Gregor Gysi is also a successful author, notably with his bestselling autobiography “Ein Leben ist zu wenig” (One Life Is Not Enough).

In entertaining and insightful conversations filled with humor, Gregor Gysi presents a guest at the Neues Kunstmuseum, discussing their life and experiences.
