Life

Schmiese grew up in Burgsteinfurt and graduated from the municipal high school Borghorst. Schmiese already worked for the Steinfurter Kreisblatt during his school days . After his community service he began his studies at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster; after two semesters he moved to Berlin .

During an extended stay in the USA , Schmiese received foreign scholarships from various American daily newspapers; a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation for a research stay at Columbia University in New York City followed. From 1996 to 1998 Schmiese completed his training as an editor at the Henri Nannen School in Hamburg . His stations during this training were Die Zeit and Der Spiegel , Der Standard in Vienna and the ZDF studio in Washington, DC

In 1998 Schmiese received his doctorate from Arnulf Baring in the subject of history on German-US-American relations. From 1998 to 2001 he was political correspondent for the daily newspaper Die Welt , first in Bonn , then in Berlin. In 2001 he was part of the founding editorial team of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, and in 2007 he moved to the FAZ as a political correspondent .

As one of the first German journalists, Schmiese was deployed to Afghanistan in 2002 to report on the war there.

On many trips he accompanied the Federal President , the Federal Chancellor and several Foreign Ministers.

Schmiese is married and has three children.

TV host

During his parental leave , Schmiese received a request from ZDF in the summer of 2009 to be the successor to Christian Sievers to moderate the ZDF morning magazine. The choice fell on him because with him, as a “well-networked journalist”, the morning magazine should become “more political in terms of content”. From April 6, 2010 to August 8, 2014, Schmiese presented the ZDF morning magazine together with Dunja Hayali or Anja Heyde as the main presenter. He had first television appearances earlier in the ARD - press club and the press review in the morning show . On September 8, 2014, Mitri Sirin - so far mainly on the morning train from 5:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. - took over the main moderation of Schmiese, who has since been the political correspondent in the ZDF capital city studio in Berlin .

On April 1, 2017, Schmiese took over the editorial management of heute-journal .
