historical reviews of ARD moderators

The history of the ARD moderators goes back to the 1950s. Cay Dietrich Voss was the first speaker in 1952, followed by Claus Wunderlich and Diether von Sallwitz, who became active a year later. Karl-Heinz Köpcke shaped the "Tagesschau" as one of the best-known spokesman for almost three decades, which worked in this function from 1959 to 1987. His contributions are still unforgettable.

Another important name from the beginnings of the ARD is Dagmar Berghoff, which began in 1976 and was the face of the "Tagesschau" until 1999. Ulrich Wickert and Jan Hofer also left their mark on the ARD history, whereby Wickert moderated the "Daily Topics" from 1991 to 2006 and Hofer was an integral part of the ARD moderators by 2020.

Current developments in the ARD

The ARD stands not only for tradition, but also for continuous change. Judith Rakers, who belonged to the ARD team until January 2024, is an example for young, talented moderators who enter the footsteps of their predecessors. Konstantin Schreiber has also been celebrated as a moderator of the "Tagesschau24" and the main edition since 2017, although he remains active until May 2025.
