Martin Born
Martin Born (born April 13, 1943 in Königsberg ; † May 16, 2007 in Rübgarten , Reutlingen district ) was a German journalist .
Act
Born began his journalistic career in 1969 after studying agriculture at the SDR's land radio . In the 1970s, he moved to the “Landespolitik” editorial team in Stuttgart. Due to research in which Born played a key role, both the Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg , Hans Filbinger , and his successor Lothar Späth in 1991 had to resign. Since this led to upheavals with the CDU government in what was then SDR, Born moved to the state studio of the SWF in Tübingen, where he took over the management of the editorial team. There he also uncovered the southern milk scandal .
Under his leadership, the fourth SWR program ( SWR4 ) was introduced (during the 1998 merger between SDR and SWF) and he headed the station as program manager until his retirement at the end of 2006.
As the figure he invented, gardener Giessbert , he became known in the eponymous series of advice in southern Germany and appeared repeatedly in various advice programs ( e.g. green stuff ) as well as in television series ( Die Fallers , Straße der Lieder ). In other episodes than Gießbert , he also made computers and the Internet understandable for seniors.
Born died on May 16, 2007 at the age of 64 in his home town of Rübgarten ( Pliezhausen community ).
