Life

Florian Schwinn grew up in Königstein im Taunus and Dietzenbach and studied German and politics in Frankfurt am Main. During his studies he began to work as a journalist at the information service for disseminating missing news iD , the news service of the alternative press and the forerunner of the taz . At the same time, the first radio reports were made for the Hessian broadcasting company . He then worked as a location manager and production manager , among others, for the television production company of Karl Schedereit and ZDF . Florian Schwinn has been a permanent freelancer at the hr since 1981 - as a reporter, editor and presenter , first at the radio wave hr3, then at hr1 and finally at hr-iNFO and hr2 kultur . There he moderates the program “Der Tag” . He also writes and produces radio features , often on environmental and energy policy, climate protection and agriculture, and is a non-fiction author.

During martial law in Poland in the early 1980s, Florian Schwinn was often on the road in the communist country - as a driver of aid transports, but also as a non-accredited journalist and smuggler of electronic components for the pirate radio station of Radio Solidarność. He conducted interviews with the underground leaders of Solidarność , including the founder of Solidarność Walcząca (Fighting Solidarity), Kornel Morawiecki . The tapes of the interviews were smuggled into the West and published on the radio - in radio features under a pseudonym - and, for example, in stern . Part of the fee went to the Solidarność offices abroad.

In 1997 Florian Schwinn founded the broadcast magazine CUT together with the specialist media publishers Hans Oberauer and Annette Milz , of which he was editor-in-chief until 2008. Since 2004 he has been part of the organizational team of the Tutzinger Radio Days, organized by the Federal Agency for Political Education and the Bavarian Academy for Political Education .
