Wilhelm Wieben (2 June 1935 – 13 June 2019[1]) was a German journalist, actor and author, best known for presenting the daily news in Tagesschau, the most-watched news program on German television,[2] from 1973 to 1998.
Biography
Wieben was born in Hennstedt, Dithmarschen. After school he studied theater at Max-Reinhardt-Schule für Schauspiel in Berlin. Later he worked as a journalist for Radio Bremen and was a news presenter on the TV channel ARD in Tagesschau between 1973 and his retirement in 1998. Wieben has authored books in Low German, a regional language in Northern Germany. He is also heard (and briefly seen in the music video) in Falco's controversial hit song Jeanny: The part of the Newsflash in the track is spoken by Wieben.
Inge Meysel outed Wieben as a homosexual in a 1995 interview in the magazine Stern.[3] Before publication, Stern asked for Wieben's permission to publish the interview which he granted.[4]
