Climate activist Luisa Neubauer and "Hard but fair" moderator Louis Klamroth are a couple.

He apparently concealed the relationship from WDR.

Update from January 20, 10 a.m.:

The relationship between the climate activist Luisa Neubauer and the new "Hard but fair" moderator Louis Klamroth is controversial.

The moderator probably only informed the WDR about the relationship after the announcement of his new role.

Now the broadcaster has commented on this for the first time – albeit very generally.

"Mr. Klamroth's private life was not an issue in the talks between WDR and him before the collaboration was announced.

Mr. Klamroth informed the WDR at the end of August about his relationship, which has now become public,” said the broadcaster

focus.de

.

Actually, Mr. Klamroth should not have gotten this job.

Irrespective of this, the journalistic standards as in any political program would apply to Klamroth.

“Independence, objectivity, impartiality.

This also means that his partner will not be a guest on his show.

We will not comment on contract details, ”said the broadcaster.

An unnamed ARD insider sees the cast of the show as

still

problematic “for everyone involved”.

"Actually, Mr. Klamroth shouldn't have gotten this job," he said clearly.

"Hard but fair" moderator Klamroth: The relationship only became public after the show was taken over

First report from January 19:

Munich/Berlin – In January, Louis Klamroth celebrated his premiere as presenter of the ARD program “Hart aber fair”.

Before taking over Frank Plasberg's TV talk show, the 33-year-old apparently left WDR in the dark about his relationship with Luisa Neubauer.

Klamroth only made his love for the climate activist public in December.

"Since I'm with a public figure, I think the public has a right to know that," said Klamroth in an interview with the online

portal

DWDL.de.

"Hard but fair" moderator Klamroth apparently concealed the relationship with Luisa Neubauer

According to Bild.de

, WDR found out about

the relationship with Neubauer earlier than the public.

But probably only after the official presentation of Klamroth as Plasberg successor.

According to the report, the 33-year-old denied a question about possible conflicts of interest.

Specifically, a spokeswoman said to the newspaper: "Mr. Klamroth's private life was not an issue in the discussions between WDR and him before the collaboration was announced." At the end of August 2022, he informed the broadcaster about the relationship with what is probably Germany's best-known climate activist .

A few days earlier, on August 17, WDR presented Klamroth as Plasberg's successor.

"Hard but fair": Luisa Neubauer not a guest of the political talk show

Like the WDR, Klamroth ruled out that Neubauer would be a guest on "Hart aber fair".

Compared to

DWDL.de

, the moderator said in December: "And it goes without saying that my partner will not be a guest on my show."

Not least because of the demonstrations in Lützerath, Neubauer would have been a thematically appropriate discussion partner on the political talk show.

The 26-year-old was at the demos together with the face of the "Fridays for Future" movement, Greta Thunberg.
