Tim Renner

Tim Renner (born 1 December 1964 in Berlin) is a German music producer, journalist and author.

[1] At the beginning of the 1980s, Renner created his own cassette-based fanzine called "Festival der guten Taten".

In 1984, he was part of directing and screenwriting for the production of the filmproject "Für eine Handvoll D-Mark", a music-magazine e.g. with Abwärts, Markus Oehlen and Ti-Tho.

In 2011, he released the book "Digital ist besser", written together with his two years older brother, the media journalist Kai-Hinrich Renner.

When Berlin named Katja Lucker "Rock- und Popbeauftragte" in 2013, with her "Music Board", they gave her one million Euros and a team.

[7] In March 2014, Tim Renner made public that he wanted to name Chris Dercon as new intendant for the "Volksbühne Berlin", having formerly worked for the Tate Gallery of Modern Art.

With the new red-red-green coalition, the cultural department fell to the party Die Linke[9] and Renner had to resign from office on December 8, 2016.

In the negotiations to form a coalition government between the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the SPD under the leadership of Kai Wegner following the 2023 state elections, Renner was part of his party’s delegation to the working group on economic affairs, energy, technology and municipally owned corporations.
