Life

Even as a teenager, Legband worked as a journalist, especially in the sports sector for the Norddeutsche Rundschau, which appears in Itzehoe, and the specialist magazine Leichtathletik. After an internship at what is now Schleswig-Holsteinische Zeitungsverlag (sh: z), he was an editor there. At the end of the 1980s he first worked for Television Schleswig-Holstein and from 1988 as an editor for the TV station RTL plus . The main topics were political reporting and reports from the world of work. At the end of the 1990s, he started his own business as a freelance journalist. In the print area, Legband worked for Die Welt , den sh: z, Lübecker Nachrichten and was Schleswig-Holstein correspondent for the AP news agency . Legband also reported for ZDF and RTL.

Legband has published books on regional history and numerous art books, among others for the publishers Wachholtz , Boyens , Koehlers Verlagsgesellschaft and Schmidt-Römhild . Michael Legband organized several art symposia for the artist group North German Realists . The plenair painters accompanied u. a. The sailing training ship Gorch Fock for a year and painted under the heading “Colored Debates” both in the Schleswig-Holstein state parliament and in the German Federal Council. Legband also dealt with economic life. The artist Tobias Duwe painted for a year in various Schleswig-Holstein industrial companies under his organization and content-related support. When the right-wing extremist DVU moved into the Schleswig-Holstein state parliament, Legband portrayed the appearance of this group in parliament in the 1990s and showed this film at more than 80 events in order to educate people about the right-wing extremists. Michael Legband was a member of the state press conference in Kiel.

In 2005 he succeeded Johannes Callsen in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Kiel and was press spokesman there until 2017 and in the working group of the three IHKs in the state, the "IHK Schleswig-Holstein", founded in 2006.

Legband has been working as a journalist and author since February 2017. He publishes in business newspapers such as “Nord Wirtschaft” and works on book projects. He also gives seminars on correct behavior in front of the television camera.

Time and again, Michael Legband volunteers to work on the first public memorial for the victims of National Socialism in Itzehoe. Together with the former co-initiator of the building, the film and television producer Gyula Trebitsch , Legband fought for the building to be put back in its old location in 1995. During the restoration and the so-called economic boom, the memorial complex was torn down and hidden under a group of trees in a city park. Trebitsch and Legband received support from Prime Minister Heide Simonis and Culture Minister Marianne Tidick as well as State Parliament Presidents Heinz-Werner Arens and Ute Erdsiek-Rave . Michael Legband and producer Peter K. Hertling realized the internationally award-winning film "The memorial - built, displaced, rediscovered" based on the book Legbands for NDR. On the initiative of Michael Legband, the city of Itzehoe again overhauled the building designed by Fritz Höger in the late summer of 2017 .

Michael Legband was a track and field athlete in his youth and as such he is still on the record lists today. The Itzehoer was the first DLV youth to run the 5000 meters under 15 minutes. He still holds the record over 3000 meters in the youth team and also over 4 × 1500 meters in the men's relay. Overall, Michael Legband was once German champion (German forest running championships 1971 Pfungstadt) and nine times state best or state champion in Schleswig-Holstein. He is the holder of the golden badge of honor of the ETSV Gut Heil Itzehoe. As a teenager he started u. a. in the national team of juniors.

Michael Legband was awarded the Gold Cross of Honor on July 11, 2006 by the Federal Minister of Defense for his journalistic work on the Bundeswehr's foreign missions in Sarajevo and Afghanistan, as well as for his initiatives for artistic engagement with the Bundeswehr .
