Constantin Schreiber: “Tagesschau” subscription with personal words

Constantin Schreiber (45) moderated the main edition of the “Tagesschau” at 8 p.m. on May 25th. He leaves the show after eight and a half years at his own request. Finally, he addressed some personal words to the spectators.

“I presented the Tagesschau for the last time. Thank you for your trust in mine and our work. I wish you all, many positive news and believe in the good,” said the 45-year-old at the end of his last “Tagesschau”, which was about the new NSU documentary center in Chemnitz and ARD research case. For his farewell he chose a Chinese saying: “Where you go, go with your heart. I think that’s a good advice. I wish you a nice evening for the last time.”

Schreiber also gave some insights behind the scenes of his last working day. So he showed that he brought vegetables and sweets with his colleagues and had already said goodbye to him in the speaker room. He also posted videos from his last walk to the studio and the applause of the team after the show.

It was only announced in mid -May that the spokesman left the “Tagesschau” in order to devote himself to other tasks and “in the future again journalistically” work without it becoming more specific in terms of his plans for the future. “It was years and tasks for which I am very grateful and that enriched me personally and professionally,” said Schreiber in a statement on Instagram.
