After leaving ARD, a new door opens for Mareile Höppner: the presenter switches to RTL.
After 14 years, Mareile Höppner (45) announced her departure from ARD and the MDR magazine “Brisant”. Now it’s clear: the moderator is moving to RTL Germany. In the future, she will be responsible for the magazine “Extra” (also on RTL+) and also support Steffen Hallaschka (50) and Dieter Könnes (50) on “stern TV” and “stern TV am Sonntag”.
Shortly after completing her studies, Höppner was already working as a reporter for RTL Nord in Kiel, after which she spent two years in front of the camera as a weather presenter for “Guten Abend RTL” before taking over the show from 2002 as the main presenter. “I’m looking forward to ‘coming home’. And that’s RTL for me. I started at RTL back then and learned to get enthusiastic about the job,” Höppner is quoted by the broadcaster in a press release.
Since 2008 she belonged to the ARD
After further engagements at ProSieben and Sat.1, Höppner hosted the MDR talk show “Riverboat” from 2009 to 2012. From 2008 she led through the MDR tabloid magazine “Brisant” in the first, which will be presented by Marwa Eldessouky (39) from December.
