Andrea Kiewel inspires with a journey through time in the TV garden on August 31st!
On Sunday, August 31st, Andrea Kiewel will present an exciting “journey through time” through different centuries in her popular show “Fernsehgarten”. The show is enriched not only by musical performances, but also by a well-known ex-kicker who has no musical talent. Among the invited artists are well-known musicians such as John Lees' Barclay James Harvest, Dunkelland feat. Versengold, and Francine Jordi, to name just a few. This mix promises to offer viewers an entertaining and varied program enriched with technology, dance, jousting and culinary highlights, such as [Focus].
The upcoming show will also be the final chapter of an exciting season that runs until the end of September. After “Time Travel”, further live shows such as “Rock im Garten”, “Celebrity Sport Battle” and “Oktoberfest” are planned. The “TV Garden” will then travel to the Völklinger Hütte in Saarland. The anticipation for the coming events is also great thanks to ticket sales for 2026 starting soon, after technical difficulties and a rapid sell-out of many seats this season.
Kiewel's absence and the live moderation
A less pleasant chapter occurred on June 15, 2025, when Andrea Kiewel was unable to travel to present the “ZDF- Fernsehengarten” due to a closure of Israeli airspace. Her residence in Tel Aviv made traveling to Mainz impossible. In her absence, Joachim Llambi stepped in along with Lutz van der Horst and hosted the theme show, which celebrated Kiewel's 25th anniversary as a presenter. According to [Merkur](https://www.merkur.de/boulevard/andrea-kiewel-miss-im-zdf- Fernsehengarten-hoffnung-der-fans-blich-unerfuellt-zr-93785455.html), there was no live statement or video message from Kiewel, leaving her fans' hopes of contact unfulfilled. Nevertheless, Llambi expressed optimistic views about her return to the show.
The past season had many highlights to offer with a total of 20 editions. Kiewel normally commutes between Germany and Israel, which could make it easier for her to return to presenting “ Fernsehengarten” in the future. The loyal viewers hope that Kiewel will return so that they can see their favorite presenter again soon on the “ Fernsehengarten”.
