Dagmar Bergmeister

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dagmar Bergmeister (born November 3, 1929 in Hanover as Dagmar Lindemann , † November 25, 2013 in Günzburg ) was a German television announcer .

At a young age she worked in Berlin as a stenographer in a chemical factory and as a photo model . On the recommendation of the fashion photographer FC Gundlach, who had worked with Bergmeister as a photo model, she was invited to Stuttgart for test shots for the SDR. Dagmar Bergmeister corresponded to the editorial team's expectations - especially since she had no Swabian accent. From 1954 to 1971 she was the first female television announcer on the SDR . It went on the air for the first time on December 16, 1954 at 8 pm: "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen - the television of the Süddeutscher Rundfunk welcomes you warmly and wishes you a good reception". From now on, Dagmar Bergmeister was one of the first TV announcers on German television, alongside Annette von Aretin (Bayerischer Rundfunk), Irene Koss for Hamburg, Ursula von Manescul (Südwestfunk) and Hilde Nocker for Hessischer Rundfunk. As an announcer, she initially worked in the still provisional SDR studios on Stuttgart's Killesberg . Everything was recorded live and the announcements had to be learned by heart in advance - reading from the sheet was not allowed. Dagmar Bergmeister was the figurehead of the SDR until she was dismissed for reasons of age in 1966 at the age of 36. Dagmar Bergmeister sued the labor court and won the dispute - so she stayed with SDR until 1971. Bergmeister married the Stuttgart chemist Klaus Kloth in Ramsau near Berchtesgaden in 1964. In the same year their first child, Fabian, was born in Stuttgart. After the death of her husband, she returned to the SDR to work on the viewer phone until she retired in 1984. In addition, she lent her voice to the Stuttgart Blind Hörbücherei for many years for audio book recordings .
