Koehler is to meet with Polish President Alexander Kwasniewski for bilateral discussions, ahead of his attendance on 31 August at the anniversary celebrations.
Solidarity -- the Communist bloc's first independent trade union -- is credited with sparking events throughout the region that eventually helped achieve the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Koehler, who was born in 1943 in a village in Nazi-occupied eastern Poland before his family fled to Germany after World War II, is also to honor the heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto and Warsaw Uprisings.
