The RBB finds no peace: after the Schlesinger affair about salary increases, luxury cars and a costly renovated office, a debate is now raging about bonuses for the rest of the station bosses. For the first time, the broadcaster publishes the information to the euro.

For the RBB, the debate about excessive manager salaries is spreading: After director Patricia Schlesinger was removed from her post “with immediate effect” on Monday, the salaries and bonuses of the other station bosses are now also being criticized – both in the Public, as well as the RBB employees.

After the pressure on the management level also increased significantly internally, the RBB management has now disclosed the amount of their salaries to the workforce. The RBB has now published the list itself for the first time.

RBB salaries at a glance

This list shows that the most important managers were able to collect six-figure bonuses per year. Salaries at a glance:

  • Administrative director Hagen Brandstätter: 230,000 euros basic salary, additional 30,738 euros bonus
  • Legal director Susann Lange: 198,900 euros basic salary, 39,195 euros bonus
  • Production and operations director Christoph Augenstein: 196,000 euros basic salary, 38,144 euros bonus
  • Program director Jan Schulte-Kellinghaus: 215,425 euros basic salary, 30,915 euros bonus

The other services provided by RBB for the management level are also worth noting: Although members of the management do not have their own company car, they receive a “car allowance” of 500 euros per month.

Also added to the basic salary is an “expense allowance” of 250 euros (tax and social security-free). The time RBB chaired the ARD, which ended in July, was particularly lucrative for the members of the management: during this time they received additional remuneration of EUR 1,700 gross/month. RBB did not provide any further information on Patricia Schlesinger’s salary.
