Overview
- Mross had been slated to moderate the 'Ahrtal – Wein des Jahres 2025' gala at the Steigenberger Kurhaus in Bad Neuenahr on November 7.
- Event manager Lothar Böhler said the organizer was informed late in the morning and provided no further details beyond 'private reasons.'
- The team improvised and secured RTL presenter Dieter Könnes as a last-minute replacement so the gala could proceed.
- Ippen.Media first reported the same-day cancellation, which was later confirmed by the organizers in public statements.
- Coverage noted parallels to a similar last-minute no-show tied to an Oktoberfest 2024 engagement, and Mross has not commented publicly.
