Thomas Koschwitz (born 6 April 1956 in Heidelberg, West Germany) is a German radio and television host, and a book author since 2002.
[1] Throughout the course of his career, Koschwitz has worked with many German and international stars and developed, owing to his journalistic skills, into a well-known talk show host, entertainer, and presenter.
Koschwitz began his career in 1975 at the age of 19 as the youngest radio news announcer who was ever employed at the Hessischer Rundfunk.
During his studies of German history and culture, political science, and sociology between 1975 and 1980 in the Upper-Hessian town of Marburg at the Lahn, he developed into one of the most prominent announcers and hosts of the Hr3, alongside already established personalities like Hanns Verres and Werner Reinke.
The exaggerated production was met with ridicule and criticism everywhere, and Koschwitz, according to his own statements, later regretted his involvement as host, although it was still due to him that the show reached a target audience market share of 14.7% in the end.
[3] In addition, Koschwitz had further television engagements as talk show host and performer with, among others, the news show N24 with the successful late-night talk format Koschwitz, which was broadcast from 2000 until December 2002, or in the Tatort (English: Crime Scene) episode Zielscheibe (English: Target), in which he played a cynical television producer in 2001.
