Johannes Wendt
Johannes Wendt (born May 30, 1939 in Isernhagen near Hanover ) is a German cultural journalist and presenter from Berlin .
Live and act
Johannes Wendt studied history and philosophy in Münster and Berlin and has been working as a cultural journalist since the 1970s. Until his retirement in 2004, Wendt was a permanent employee of the SFB / RBB cultural radio and continues to perform in various journalistic roles to this day.
His weekly program Gulliver - Sentences and Opposites on SFB 3 was legendary from 1979 to 2001 every Saturday from 5pm to 6pm; it has achieved cult status and had to give way to the zeitgeist, which no longer allows "hours" of contributions on the radio.
In addition, he moderated relevant morning programs, accompanied by exclusive classical music, and was publicly known as a discussion leader, moderator and leader of numerous panel discussions . Wendt pointed where others gently backed away. He writes for various periodicals , daily press - for example for the New Germany in 2006 - and monthly publications and primarily discusses development policy and colonial-historical issues, most recently in "L'homme et la société" (Paris, L'Harmattan, 2010), special issue " Adieux aux colonialismes? ”.
Johannes Wendt is a member of the Third World Journalists Network and until 2009 was a media representative on the Berlin Advisory Council for Development Cooperation. Until 2012 he was a member of the Board of Trustees of the North-South Bridges Foundation .
Wendt lives with his wife Marei in Berlin ( Swiss Quarter ); both have three grown children.
Others
For many years until 2015, Wendt sang in Kerstin Behnke's Berlin Cappella and toured the world with the choir (Novosibirsk, Wisconsin and Panama).
