The satirist Jan Böhmermann rarely shows feelings and likes to fight: with Erdoğan, with Mathias Döpfner, with Dieter Nuhr. A conversation about the consequences of his scuffle and his TV fame.
As the star Jan Böhmermann met for an interview about seven years ago, the conversation took place in a former carpet factory, located in an industrial area in the Cologne district of Ehrenfeld. On the facade was written “Carpet King. Laminate. Parquet”, and all rooms exuded backyard charm. Back then, Böhmermann had broken new ground on television with his show “Neo Magazin Royale”.
