Zitlow: I learned a lot from Dirk

Before the show began, Sonja Zitlow revealed in an interview with RTL that she had learned an “incredible amount” from her late colleague. “It was new to me at the time that I had to memorize texts in order to then moderate them. Dirk was a great master of passing. Dirk was simply a great, helpful guy who threw balls for you. I learned that from him. With him I always had the feeling that I could still be myself.

Bach remains of great importance to Köppen as well. “After all these years, Dirk Bach still has a positive influence on this forest. But Daniel Hartwich also left big shoes to fill. But I have to free myself from that a little bit. I'm just a different guy,” he reveals. .

Zietlow says it's difficult to answer the question of whether she and Bach were friends. “It's very close there. I would say that's the way it is with us now, Jan. We've always been close there, but that doesn't mean we always meet in Germany.”
