biography
Meurer attended the Fürst Johann Ludwig Gymnasium in Hadamar from 1969 to 1978 . From 1979 to 1986 he studied history and German at the universities of Mainz and Bielefeld and passed the state examination for teaching at the grammar school. Instead of working as a teacher as previously planned, he got involved in the founding team of the private radio station RPR (acronym for Rhineland-Palatinate Broadcasting ) in Koblenz in 1986/87 .
In 1988 Meurer began an internship at Deutschlandfunk (DLF). In 1989 he became editor for "Politics and Current Affairs" there. From 1995 to 1999 Meurer worked as a parliamentary correspondent in Bonn . He then went on reporting trips to Israel , Russia , Yugoslavia , the UN and the People's Republic of China as a foreign policy correspondent .
In 2000 Meurer became editor-in-chief for Zeitfunk at the DLF. He was head of department there from 2007 to July 2015 and regularly moderated the DLF program “Informations am Morgen”.
During the Gaza conflict in 2014, Meurer interviewed the Israeli sociologist Natan Sznaider by phone in Tel Aviv, which was then under rocket fire from Gaza . Meurer caused a sensation by asking Sznaider if he felt any sympathy for the other side in view of three civilian Israeli casualties against 1,000 Palestinian civilians. Sznaider saw the assumption that there had not been enough Israeli deaths and protested against this type of accounting for the dead.
From August 2015 to July 2020, Meurer was the correspondent for Deutschlandradios in London. Since then he has been working again as an editor at Funkhaus Köln.
He is the author or co-author of 12 issues of the daily program " Background " in the DLF and other programs.
