Life

Karl-Heinz Meier-Braun studied political science and English at the University of Tübingen . In 1979 he received his doctorate on voluntary rotation - policy on foreigners using the example of the Baden-Württemberg state government. Since 1992 he has been an honorary professor at the Institute for Political Science at the University of Tübingen.

Karl-Heinz Meier-Braun was SWR's long-term integration officer until 2015, the first foreigner commissioner - as it was called at the time - of an ARD broadcaster. In books, radio broadcasts and publications, he points out in a way that is understandable for laypeople as well that the acceptance of immigration makes social and economic sense and that more must be done for the migrants living in Germany so that integration can work.

Meier-Braun came to what was then Süddeutscher Rundfunk in 1976 , worked in the state editorial office, at Radio Stuttgart, in state politics and headed the “Regional News” editorial team. In numerous programs he reported on "foreigner issues" and Turkey. He later built up the foreigners' editorial team and in 1988 set up the media forum “Foreigners with us”, which is now a renowned institution not only within the ARD.

Meier-Braun has been a lecturer at the University of Tübingen since 1984 , and has also been an honorary professor there since 1992.
