Hans-Heinrich Isenbart
Hans-Heinrich Isenbart (born February 5, 1923 in Vienna ; † December 25, 2011 in Hamburg ) was a German presenter , journalist and horse specialist .
Life
Isenbart was born in 1923 as the son of an officer and a merchant's daughter, and there was a family connection with the cavalry. He grew up in Hamburg , attended the Wilhelm-Gymnasium there and from 1945 worked as a freelancer for the North West German Broadcasting Corporation . Unlike in his family, he was unable to pursue an officer career, which the National Socialists prevented because of his Jewish grandmother on his mother's side. After studying law, which he completed in Vienna, he returned to the North German Broadcasting Corporation (NDR). From 1951 he worked as an editor in Studio Oldenburg.
His career as a sports reporter on television began in 1956: He reported on the Olympic equestrian competitions , which were held in Stockholm separately from the other Olympic competitions (in Melbourne). Here he achieved fame through his report on the ride of the seriously injured Hans Günter Winkler with Halla . From 1957 he was involved in the development of the Nordschau , a regional window of the NDR and a forerunner of today's regional programs.
Three years later he switched to Radio Bremen , where he headed the television department until 1974. From 1974 to 1987 he worked as a sports coordinator for ARD . After he retired in 1987, he continued to work as a presenter and commentator for the NDR , among others in the programs Rejoice in the North and Land and Songs .
After his retirement, Hans-Heinrich Isenbart worked as an equestrian commentator and stadium announcer (including 1954 to 2004 at the CHIO Aachen ). His commitment to the well-being of the horse was formative, his closing sentence "... and don't forget the horses" became his trademark.
Isenbart was also active as a riding and driving instructor and as an author. The catalog of the German National Library lists 52 publications for him.
Hans-Heinrich Isenbart died a few weeks before his 89th birthday on December 25, 2011 in Hamburg . In June 2011, the Norddeutsche Rundfunk dedicated a half-hour report on his life to him, which was broadcast again on the occasion of his death.
