history

In 1979 the school was founded as a Hamburg journalism school. The German School of Journalism in Munich served as a model . The first course started on Monday April 2, 1979. Since 1983 the Hamburg School of Journalism has been named Henri Nannen School in honor of the Stern founder .

Wolf Schneider (March 2010)

The first headmaster was Wolf Schneider , who retired in 1995, but occasionally taught at the school until 2012. His successor until the end of 2005 was the former Stern editor Ingrid Kolb . Her successor Christoph Fasel , himself a graduate of the school, resigned after nine months as headmaster on September 11, 2006; Ingrid Kolb took over the business temporarily for half a year. Andreas Wolfers has been running the school since April 2007 . After completing his traineeship at Flensburger Tageblatt , studying and spending two years in Israel , he was geo-editor and most recently since 2004 text editor and managing editor at Stern. At the end of September 2019 it was announced that the previous editor-in-chief of the magazine "Geo", Christoph Kucklick , will take over the chief position on January 2nd, 2020.

The so-called media crisis did not leave the Henri Nannen School without consequences. The number of training places was reduced to 20 per year and in 2003 a Berlin branch of the school was given up. The course grant was reduced to 761 euros gross. Schoolchildren may be granted a loan from Gruner + Jahr. In addition, the students are required to complete a six-week internship at Gruner + Jahr.

With the 31st course, the cross-media training area was completely rebuilt and adapted to the needs of the industry. The school has a fully equipped AV studio complex for this purpose.

From 2019 onwards, the training period was increased from 18 to 24 months. During this time, 31 weeks of lessons at school and 63 weeks of practical experience are completed in four editorial offices. 18 prospective journalists have the option of an apprenticeship position, which is remunerated with 1,500 euros in the profile phase. One focus is daily newspaper and magazine journalism, there is also a training block on television, radio and online journalism.
