biography

After the Second World War, Nagiller's family moved to Tyrol and then to Vorarlberg . After graduating from high school in Bregenz , he studied economics at the University of Innsbruck , where he began his journalistic work at a business agency after completing his doctorate. In 1968 he moved to the ORF regional studio Vorarlberg as radio - editor . Just two years later, he took the opportunity to switch to ORF television in Vienna, where he was a Zeit-im-Bild editor for four years . In 1974 Nagiller became head of domestic politics , in 1979 radio editor-in-chief and from 1983 television editor-in-chief. In 1986 he returned to Innsbruck for the position of artistic director of the Tyrolean regional studio , but in 1990 he moved back to Vienna to become radio director.

In 1994 he reached the high point of his career at ORF with the position of information director. Nagiller was particularly controversial in this position within his own ranks. One of the reasons was his attempt to reinvent the television summer talks under the title 'Anders Asked'. Regarding this he is quoted on the ORF website as follows: "My motive was to approach the question in a completely different way. I have conducted so many political interviews. I can hardly hear these interviews anymore, to be honest, because they are part of rituals If you do this for so long and have to do with it every day, at some point it becomes very difficult to endure, because there is hardly any communication or information flowing anymore, but a ritual is being fulfilled. And I wanted to leave the ritual I managed that too. But if you leave a ritual, you get a beating. It's the same all over the world. " The audience accepted the discussions well. Nevertheless, after two years, Rudolf Nagiller stopped using the controversial concept.

In 1998, after the departure of ORF general manager Gerhard Zeiler to RTL, his successor Gerhard Weis offered his retirement from ORF, which the latter accepted. Nagiller has worked as a journalist and book author ever since . Since leaving the ORF, his interest has shifted away from political journalism and towards health journalism. His first book Gentle Running became a bestseller in 2001, his last so far is No Sports! For the love of movement.

On December 12, 2007, he returned to ORF as the moderator of the newly launched Club 2 . He also played host to old Club 2 about fifty times.

Rudolf Nagiller has been giving eulogies at funerals in Vienna and the surrounding area since 2015: about fifty times a year. It is placed through the funeral home.
