After graduating from high school, Inacker studied Political Science , Public Law, and Medieval and Modern History at the University of Bonn .

From 1989 to 1990 he was a consultant in the planning staff of the Federal Ministry of Defense . Inacker began his journalistic career in 1991 as editor of Rheinischer Merkur . From 1992 to 1997 he was chief correspondent and head of the opinion section of Welt am Sonntag in Hamburg, with numerous stays in crisis areas such as Southeast Anatolia (Gulf War), Somalia, Bosnia and Croatia. In 1993 he was one of the authors of the anthology The Self-Confident Nation . After two years as head of the planning staff of the Chairman of the Board of Management Jürgen E. Schrempp of DaimlerChrysler AG in Stuttgart, Inacker became head of the capital office of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung in 2000 .
