After her contract as a freelance writer there ended, she has been working for Die Welt since 2016 . She is considered the most famous German court reporter. Friedrichsen is married, has two children and lives in Wiesbaden.

Reviews

Gisela Friedrichsen's reports are judged differently. Heidrun Helwig wrote in the Neue Juristische Wochenschrift :

“As a schoolmaster, she distributes certificates, evaluates, praises, condemns, on the basis of her subjective standards. She not only takes sides with one side, but reports one-sidedly, usually giving no room for the arguments of the attacked side. "

Bernhard Schlink, on the other hand, says:

“Gisela Friedrichsen's reports offer social analysis, mentality, culture and contemporary political history. Sometimes they expand into small essays about the situation of young people in the new federal states, the emergence of youth violence, the radicalization of Muslims or the shadow that the National Socialist past casts into the present. Individual fate and individual responsibility never disappear behind the social findings. Gisela Friedrichsen opens up the events by combining analytical sharpness and personal sensitivity and caution. "
