Gina Brückenkemper triumphs as fairground queen in Soest!

The traditional All Saints' Fair took place in Soest on November 9, 2025, where Mayor Marcus Schiffer welcomed almost 80 prominent guests from various areas. This annual event attracts countless visitors, who often return from their old homes to celebrate and feast together. Among the illustrated guests was the well-known sprinter Gina Brückenkemper, who grew up in Soest and comes from Hamm. She not only inspires with top sporting performances, but was also able to successfully defend her title as fairground queen. Together with her fellow candidate Rebekka Haase, she collected the most carousel rides and ensured a lively afternoon that made the visitors' hearts beat faster.

The celebrations were rounded off with the coronation of the new fairground queen, with Christian Schug, managing director of CKS, being crowned fairground king, replacing Heinrich Böckelühr. A special highlight was the large gingerbread heart that Gina Brückenkemper and Rebekka Haase proudly presented on Instagram after the event. In addition to the sporting triumph, there was also personal news: Lückekemper recently made her engagement to her partner public, which gave the celebration an additional shine.

The All Saints' Fair not only stands for jubilation and joy, but also brings with it a certain amount of responsibility. On Friday morning, the police were alerted after a fair visitor went missing.
