Geert Müller-Gerbes
Geert Müller-Gerbes (born September 18, 1937 in Jena ) is a German journalist and television presenter .
Müller-Gerbes grew up in the Harz Mountains and later moved to Aalen with his parents . After graduating from high school , he began a traineeship at the Heidenheimer Zeitung . He then studied history, sociology and law at the Free University of Berlin, but dropped out after 6 years. In the course of his life, Müller-Gerbes worked for IBM (in the press department), Tagesspiegel , RIAS and the SFB .
In 1969 he became press officer for Federal President Gustav Heinemann (until 1974). Afterwards, Müller-Gerbes was the spokesman for the Ministry of Youth, Family and Health for a few months . In 1976 Müller-Gerbes came to Radio Luxemburg and worked for the station as a Germany correspondent in Bonn . From 1984 he was also chief correspondent for RTL radio and later also for the new private television broadcaster RTL plus .
From 1985 onwards, Müller-Gerbes hosted the Bonnfetti panel on RTL plus , which was broadcast from the Contra-Kreis-Theater in Bonn . From February 4, 1988 to June 14, 1992, he hosted the program Die Woche - People in Conversation (also on RTL plus). From February 8, 1992, Müller-Gerbes then moderated the consumer show How please ?! (RTL plus / RTL ), a format that made viewer problems public and presented them to the public in small sketches. The show last ran on March 13, 1999. In 2000 he gave up the co-moderation of the WDR talk show , which he had moderated with Sabine Scholt since 1999 , and withdrew into private life. Official reasons were differences in content, but Müller-Gerbes spoke of "the editorial staff's hunger for career" and "the broadcaster's disrespect".
Müller-Gerbes has been publishing children's books since 2003. Occasionally he also moderates events in his home town of Bonn - Niederholtorf and the surrounding area. Müller-Gerbes is also socially committed; for years he was the patron of the Bonner Tafel .
