Günther Jauch: A man from reformatted awareness – ZEIT ONLINE

In the year in which the ARD political talk Sunday took the program in 1998, Günther Jauch received together with Marcel Reif the Bavarian Television Award. They had at RTL a football game to comment, Real Madrid buckled against Borussia Dortmund, but shortly before the scheduled start of the stadium to a fence and tore with one of the gates, which was attached to it. After 76 minutes, until a new gate was built as long happened: nothing. RTL remained on air. And Jauch commented eloquently and insanely funny standstill. It was his finest hour.

On Sunday evening Jauch moderated the last time the political talk in the ARD. Federal Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble was the only guest, so it was one of the face-to-face talks, which are regarded as supreme discipline of political talks. Follows the ordinary talc, which is staffed with conflicting professionals Einordnern and stakeholders, the dramaturgical principles of the Punch and Judy show, the solo conversation is more reminiscent of a chess game. The moderator can not as a navigation device of the interview hide behind the dispute between the talc guests; the guest can not escape questions if the interviewer does not let him.

Jauch on Sunday neither win nor lose. He won the chess game simply discarded and performed with the Treasury a porträtierendes Interview whose sake newsworthy is that of expressing his loyalty to Angela Merkel in the refugee policy. One noticed that Jauch graduated from the school of 891 Star TV broadcasts on RTL, where he spoke with people about their humanity.

Moderator standstill

The last show Günther Jauch acquiesced so well into the program of the last four years. As long Jauch has the ARD talk show moderated. And he has not earned a reputation as a hard demand of political journalists in this period, but the one Kärtchenbeschrifters, of all those occurring as a lawyer, who may feel overwhelmed by a deeper conversation.

On Sunday he gave an insight into his image of Germany: “Many voters want so that everything stays that way,” he initiated a question. “Reforms are not necessarily popular.” He led since 2011 by his mission, as he had as a target group, this change critical minds before our eyes. Jauch has remained as a political talkers, the moderator of the arrest, as he earned merits in football.

As it is in the political arena no entertainment if you garnish the deadlock with text, but a statement.

Looking back, let the small Aufreger, the Günther Jauch produced, understood almost programmatically when soliciting for the target group: Schäuble’s antagonists in the Greece question, Yanis Varoufakis , Jauch grabbed much harder as Schäuble and reproached him for a stretched middle finger against Germany without mentioning the context. Was it about Islam, its editors invited an imam who would talk to guaranteed life and limb. The FSC-politician Björn Höcke he had swagger on asylum seekers as “social dynamite” without intervening move appropriately. And on an activist who sat through a minute’s silence for drowned in the Mediterranean refugees Jauch responded helplessly – and broke the minute after 37 seconds. More standstill on TV probably would have disturbed the deadlock.

Quizmaster, ski jumping and football reporter

Jauch had to a lot of criticism for his moderation style. In retrospect, one can of course argue that it is absurd to put a longtime Quizmaster, ski jumping and football reporter on the most laden with meaning Talk court and to accept that this is now the ideal choice. As one would footballer Lionel Messi press and say a basketball in his hand: “In the NBA Finals, we rely on you!”

Jauch commitment was, however, regarded television immanent logic. Not only were Jauch predecessors also constantly criticized as now Jauch. Anne Will was a time Monday to Friday reliably with gratismutigem mockery of the brand “Who cares this drivel?” showered. The talk show Sabine Christiansen , broadcast from 1998, went into the media history because of her attempt to extremely narrow the number of possible political positions. And Jauch was a sanctuary; he was before he took over his talk show, as a television allrounder. In polls, he was named to the regular “popular German” as well as President of the heart. Big TV Man plus large format, so the bill, a super mission would probably result.

But what collided here, was the inner logic of the medium of television with the expectations that are brought to it.
