Jessy Wellmer über Judith Rakers Hilfe bei "Tagesthemen"-Premiere

Sie wollte einen beruflichen Wechsel, moderiert jetzt statt der "Sportschau" die "Tagesthemen". Doch die Premiere war für Jessy Wellmer ein wilder Ritt.

Aller Anfang ist schwer – doch immerhin stand Journalistin Jessy Wellmer (44) ihre damalige Kollegin Judith Rakers (48) zur Seite. Denn vor ihrer Premiere als Moderatorin der "Tagesthemen" war sie aufgeregt, wie sie im Gespräch mit Kim Fisher (54) und Matze Knop (49) im MDR-Talk "Riverboat" erzählte.

Ihre erste "Tagesthemen"-Ausgabe bestritt sie an der Seite von Rakers. Die ehemalige "Tagesschau"-Sprecherin habe ihr "sehr dabei geholfen" durch diese Premiere zu kommen. Denn Rakers habe Wellmer "durch die Sendung geritten", wie sie mit einem Lächeln berichtete.

Bereits vor der Ausgabe habe Rakers sie zur Seite genommen und ihr gesagt: "Jessy, denk an den Moment nach dem Sprung." Auch wenn ihr dieser Tipp im ersten Moment eher "kryptisch" vorkam. Gemeint war der Sprung beim Reiten. Wellmer sollte sich sozusagen auf das Ende und den Gedanken "Ich habe heute die 'Tagesthemen' moderiert" konzentrieren.

Wellmer über Rakers: "Cool und lässig"

Zudem habe Rakers sich zwischendurch um den "Tagesthemen"-Neuling gekümmert und stets angespornt. "Und so hat sie mich durch diese Sendung geführt, motiviert und praktisch nach jeder Moderation gesagt: 'Toll!'", so die frühere Sportmoderatorin. Das Verhalten von Rakers sei "cool und lässig" gewesen, sie hingegen habe sich wie eine „Achtjährige“ gefühlt, weil sie so an die Hand genommen wurde. "Es war eine ganz große Leistung von ihr", freute sich Wellmer.

"Es ist ein toller Job und ich wollte ihn so sehr gerne haben", resümierte die 44-Jährige. Dennoch merkte sie an: "Er bringt auch viel Verantwortung mit sich, weil man einordnen muss. Ich will meinen journalistischen Job gut machen und es ist verdammt nochmal unser Auftrag, möglichst viele Perspektiven abzubilden. Diese Herausforderung nehme ich an." Daher hätte sie auch den Wunsch gehabt, sich mit politischen Themen auseinander zu setzen "und nicht neben Sebastian Schweinsteiger zu stehen".

Jessy Wellmer bei "Riverboat"

• Autor Sebastian Berning (Köln)

Jessy Wellmer ist seit 2023 Sprecherin bei den „Tagesthemen“. Doch bei ihrer Premiere in dem etablierten Nachrichtenformat erhielt sie von Kollegin Judith Rakers Unterstützung.

Am 30. Oktober 2023 feierte Journalistin Jessy Wellmer (44) ihre Premiere als Moderatorin der „Tagesthemen“. Zuvor führte sie durch diverse Sport-Formate der ARD . Also ein Frischling im Geschäft war die damals 43-Jährige nicht. Dennoch hat die ehemalige „Tagesschau“-Moderatorin Judith Rakers ihr noch viel beibringen können, wie Wellmer in der Talkrunde „ Riverboat “ mit Kim Fisher (54) und Matze Knop (49) erklärte.

After 19 years: Judith Rakers quits as “Tagesschau” spokeswoman

Judith Rakers is quitting as a spokeswoman for the “Tagesschau” after 19 years.

• 15 January 2024 Monday 15:31
• News Editor 2

Judith Rakers is quitting as a spokeswoman for the “Tagesschau” after 19 years. The 48-year-old is leaving at the end of January at her own request because she wants to concentrate more on her entrepreneurial activities, the public broadcaster Norddeutsche Rundfunk (NDR) announced in Hamburg on Tuesday. Rakers has been involved in gardening and growing vegetables for years. She can be seen on the “Tagesschau” for the last time on January 31st.

According to the information, there will initially be no successor. The 8 p.m. main edition, which is watched by millions of viewers every day, will continue to be presented by Jens Riewa, Susanne Daubner, Julia-Niharika Sen, Thorsten Schröder and Constantin Schreiber.

Rakers was quoted in the NDR announcement as saying: "After 19 successful and exciting years at the "Tagesschau", I have decided with a heavy heart to leave. It is time to focus my life on other projects "To further expand my entrepreneurial activities and tackle new things for which there was previously too little time apart from the news shift."

In 2005 she appeared in front of the camera for the first time as a spokeswoman for the “Tagesschau” – in the main edition at 8 p.m. for the first time in March 2008. She doesn’t turn her back on television completely. She continues to moderate the talk show “3nach9” (Radio Bremen/NDR), and she continues to present episodes of the ARD travel magazine “Wunderschön”.

Anyone who follows Rakers on Instagram knows that she has been passionate about gardening for years. The 48-year-old posted a photo of herself with a box of vegetables on Tuesday and explained her departure from the “Tagesschau”. She has always worked as a freelancer there and has therefore built up other bases. In addition to other TV engagements, she started writing books about vegetable growing, nature and gardening - "my great passion," wrote Rakers.

The Paderborn native announced her first children's book. She is also working on a board game. At the same time, she is thinking about new television formats - "but I'm now giving up the daily shift work at 'Tagesschau'."

The first editor-in-chief of ARD-aktuell, Marcus Bornheim, was quoted in the NDR announcement: "Judith Rakers' departure from the 'Tagesschau' is a great loss. She is not only popular with our viewers, the entire team also appreciates her as a person and colleague." The “Tagesschau” and its sister show “Tagesthemen” are produced in Hamburg on the NDR premises. The ARD joint institution ARD-aktuell is responsible.

The “Tagesschau” at 8 p.m. is the most successful main news program on German television. Last year, an average of 9.459 million tuned in daily on the first, third and affiliated channels.

This is why the additions and departures of the “Tagesschau” speakers often affect the German public. After around 36 years behind the desk, Jan Hofer read out the “Tagesschau” news from Germany and the world for the last time in December 2020. He became a presenter on “RTL Direkt”. Linda Zervakis also said goodbye to the “Tagesschau” audience in April 2021 and started at ProSieben. There was also a much-noticed transfer on “Tagesthemen”: Pinar Atalay moved from ARD to RTL as a news presenter in 2021.

"Riverboat" blunder: MDR makes embarrassing mistake in Judith Raker's lower third

2023-03-11T19:05:33.391Z

Even an experienced "Tagesschau" spokeswoman like Judith Rakers sometimes mishaps here and there, as the 47-year-old revealed on "Riverboat". Seconds later, of all people, the MDR itself made a mistake.

Even an experienced "Tagesschau" spokeswoman like Judith Rakers sometimes mishaps here and there, as the 47-year-old revealed on "Riverboat".

Seconds later, the MDR itself made a mistake.

Leipzig – With prominent guests from drama, art and music, “Riverboat” (MDR) has been one of the most popular talk shows on German television for over 30 years – around half a million viewers tune in regularly on Fridays around 10 p.m.

Anyone who took a close look at the latest issue (March 10) noticed that the MDR had made an embarrassing mistake in the middle of the show.

Judith Rakers unpacks on "Riverboat" about "Tagesschau" glitches – "Slightly uncomfortable"

Anyone who goes live on the air is not always immune to breakdowns – even real professionals can avoid them, as news anchor Judith Rakers (47) revealed on Friday evening on “Riverboat”.

"Do glitches happen with the 'Tagesschau'?" moderator Matze Knop (48) asked the journalist in advance, who resolutely said yes and then reported that "many things" went wrong during her moderation.

"Once the teleprompter ran backwards - it was a little uncomfortable," the 47-year-old recalled a similar situation.

Fortunately, Judith Rakers was able to solve this herself by disappearing under her table – clearly visible to the television viewer – and switching the device over at the push of a button.

Three new faces at "Riverboat"

Countless TV celebrities have already moderated “Riverboat” on MDR, including Jan Hofer (1992-2012), Andrea Kiewel (2007), (2010-2013) and Jörg Pilawa (2017-2018).

The face of the show has been Kim Fisher again since 2014, who led the talk show from 1998 to 2005.

After the departure of Jörg Kachelmann, the singer and actress can look forward to three newcomers this year: she is currently moderating the editions with MDR program director Klaus Brink Bäumer, comedian Matze Knop and entertainer Wolfgang Lippert, who alternate weekly.

Seconds after Judith Raker's "Riverboat" breakdown report - MDR spells "Tagesschau" wrong

Irony of fate: Not even a minute after the breakdown conversation, the MDR itself made a blunder that was as embarrassing as it was avoidable.

In a lower third that appeared, Judith Rakers was titled as the spokeswoman for the "Tagesschau" - of course that was not true, because the oldest news program in the country is known to be called "Tagesschau".

In the new "Riverboat" issue (March 10), among others, "Tagesschau" spokeswoman Judith Rakers made a guest appearance – but the MDR made an embarrassing spelling mistake in her belly band

Experience shows: In the show, which, by the way, is not broadcast live, but is recorded in advance in Leipzig, mistakes are not uncommon: Recently, "Riverboat" presenter Kim Fisher (53) confused the famous "Bergdoktor" stars.

So half Judith Rakers ihrer Kollegin Jessy Wellmer bei ihrem „Tagesthemen“-Debüt

Stand: 18.03.2024, 21:12 Uhr

Von: Nicole Kurylonek

Sportliebhaber werden Jessy Wellmer bereits kennen, doch seit 2023 ist sie als „Tagesthemen“-Sprecherin tätig. Unterstützung bekam die Journalistin zu Beginn von Judith Rakers.

Leipzig – Am 15. März luden die Moderatoren Kim Fisher (54) und Matze Knop (49) wieder namhafte Gäste in ihr „Riverboat“-Studio nach Leipzig. Darunter auch die neue „Tagesthemen“-Sprecherin Jessy Wellmer (44). In der Talkshow sprach sie über ihren Wechsel zu der Nachrichtensendung und offenbarte, wer ihr bei ihrer ersten Sendung den Rücken stärkte.

Erste Sendung mit Ex-„Tagesschau“-Sprecherin Judith Rakers

Nach 19 Jahren bei der „Tagesschau“ verabschiedete Judith Rakers (48) sich als Sprecherin der ARD-Nachrichtensendung – doch den Entschluss fasste sie nicht von heute auf morgen. Auch Journalistin Jessy Wellmer sehnte sich nach einem Tapetenwechsel: Nach ihrer langen Tätigkeit als Moderatorin für die „Sportschau“ wechselte sie 2023 zu den „Tagesthemen“. Ihre erste Sendung hat Jessy Wellmer im Oktober 2023 an der Seite von Judith Rakers gesprochen.

Die ehemalige „Tagesschau“-Sprecherin habe der 44-Jährigen „sehr dabei geholfen“. Rakers habe Wellmer außerdem „durch die Sendung geritten“, erzählt der „Riverboat“-Gast im Gespräch mit Matze Knop. Schon vor Beginn der Sendung habe Rakers ihre Kollegin motiviert und gesagt: „Jessy, denk an den Moment nach dem Sprung.“

Judith Rakers motivierte Jessy Wellmer während der „Tagesthemen“

Doch auch zwischendurch habe Judith Rakers Jessy Wellmer für ihre Leistung gelobt und immer weiter angespornt. „Und so hat sie mich durch diese Sendung geführt und motiviert und praktisch nach jeder Moderation gesagt: ‚Toll!‘“, offenbart die ehemalige Sportmoderatorin. Wellmer hatte das Gefühl, Rakers spreche mit einer Achtjährigen – doch es sei gleichzeitig eine ganz große „Leistung“ gewesen, wie Wellmer von Rakers „cool und lässig“ in das Studio eingeführt wurde.

Trotz Ausstieg bei der „Tagesschau“ ist Judith Rakers als Showmasterin in der Talkshow „3nach9“ zu sehen. Am 8. März durfte die 48-Jährige mit ihrem Kollegen Giovanni di Lorenzo (65) einen ganz besonderen Gast bei sich begrüßen. Verwendete Quellen: MDR „Riverboat“ (Folge vom 15. März 2024, 22 Uhr)

Moscow - Russian Rivers and Waterways Port of Call

Moscow is a wonderful city to visit, and travelers on river ship cruise tours to or from St. Petersburg spend a few days in Moscow . This capital city of Russia was our last port on a river cruise tour, and we had about four days to see most of the highlights. Our first day we did an overview driving tour and rode the subway under the Mockba (Moscow) River to Red Square. The next day we toured the State Armory and the Kremlin.

These photos show some of the other highlights you can see with three or four days in Moscow .

The Northern River Terminal is located on the Moscow Canal in the northwest section of Moscow at the Khimki Reservoir.

Most river cruise ships sailing between Moscow and St. Petersburg use the ship as a hotel while in Moscow. Because of traffic, it's often a long drive into the city, but the sights along the way are interesting, and you only have to unpack once for the river cruise.

View of Downtown Moscow from Sparrow Hills

Sparrow Hills is the best place to get a great panoramic view of Moscow. The Sparrow Hills overlook the Mockba River and are near Moscow State University.

Novodevichy Convent in Moscow

Novodevichy Convent in Moscow was founded in 1524, and was once used as a sort of prison for the unwanted wives and sisters of the Tsars. Peter the Great sent both his first wife and his sister to Novodevichy. Since the convent had such famous nuns, it was very wealthy due to the many donations of the Tsars and their families. At one time in the 1700s, the cloister had over 36,000 serfs working in 36 villages. Novodevichy was ravaged by the French armies in 1812, but the brave nuns saved the buildings by disarming the fuses set to blow them up. The Soviets wanted to make the convent into a museum in the early 1920s, but it was again saved.

Novodevichy also has a cemetery with the graves of many famous Russians, including Nikita Khrushchev, Anton Chekhov, Raisa Gorbachev, and Yuri Nikulin.

View of the Mockba River in Moscow, Russia

The Mockba (Moscow) River runs into the Volga via the 79.5 mile long Moscow Canal.

River ships sailing between Moscow and St. Petersburg on the Baltic Waterways embark and disembark at the Northern River Terminal about an hour's drive from the city. The drive time can vary significantly in length because of the heavy Moscow traffic. The river looks peaceful here, as it winds around the cosmopolitan area of Moscow.

Cathedral of Christ the Redeemer (Cathedral of Christ the Savior) in Moscow

The Cathedral of Christ the Redeemer, also known as the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, is the largest church in Russia, holding 10,000 worshipers.

The original Cathedral of Christ the Savior was built over 44 years to celebrate the 1812 victory over Napoleon. It was completed in 1883. Stalin had the church destroyed in 1931, but it was rebuilt using mostly private funds in 1999. The new church is a replica of the original. Note that it took 44 years the first time and only 4 years the second to complete the church! Isn't modern technology impressive.

One interesting tidbit is that it took three attempts to blow up the church in 1931. Stalin planned to build a huge Palace of the Soviets on the cleared land, but engineers determined that the land was too boggy. In the 60 years intervening, the space was used for a variety of things, including a year-round swimming pool!

Vendors' Market and Ski Jump at Sparrow Hills in Moscow

The panoramic view of Moscow from Sparrow Hills is a stopover for most tour groups, so we were not surprised to see a large number of vendors. The ski jump was a surprise, but Moscow gets very cold in winter, so winter sports are very popular. This ski jump is near Moscow State University and has a great view of the city. Seeing this ski jump reminded me of the famous Holmenkollen Ski Jump in Oslo, which also has a great view of that northern capital city.

Russian Soldiers' Memorial in Victory Park in Moscow

Central Museum of Armed Forces in Moscow, Russia

This small band greeted us at the Central Museum of Armed Forces in Moscow. They played a variety of band music and made us all feel very welcome.

Grand Triumphal Arch Celebrates the Victory Over Napoleon in the War of 1812

This arch looks a little like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and it is located near the Victory Park Metro Station in Moscow.

This Grand Triumphal Arch is decorated with the coats of arms from the 48 Russian provinces. To celebrate the victory over France in the war of 1812, it also includes bas-reliefs of the "Expulsion of the French." The arch was originally built in 1834, but has only been on this site since 1968.

It is a little ironic that this arch resembles the Paris Arc de Triomphe , which Napoleon built between 1806 and 1836 to celebrate his French victories.

Moscow Metro Station at the Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square)

This station near Red Square has many statues honoring the workers of Russia.

Moscow Metro Station near Victory Park

The Metro in Moscow is one of its shining industrial achievements. Construction on the Metro was begun in 1931 and continues today. The system has over 165 stations and 155 miles of track. Over 9300 trains, traveling sometimes as fast as 56 mph, navigate the huge system each day. Almost 10 million people ride the Moscow Metro every day, which is more than the New York and London systems combined. We found the Metro to be very efficient, with trains arriving every few minutes.

Navigating the Metro system can be somewhat of a problem for non-Russian speaking riders. Most of the signage is in Cyrillic only, and the stations are quite large. Trying to find the correct exit while walking long distances underground can be challenging.

On our cruise tour, we rode the Metro as a group with our program director from near Victory Park under the Mockba River to Red Square. Several of the group ventured out on their own during our time in Moscow, and many rode the Metro. They all returned with stories of getting lost underground, but none seemed the worse for the experience, and they all loved telling the tales.

Red Square in Moscow

Red Square in Moscow is a must-see for visitors to the capital city of Russia.

The Kremlin in Moscow, Russia

The Kremlin is a favorite of Moscow tourists. Inside these walls are buildings for the government of Russia, cathedrals, and the wonderful State Armory museum.

Taras Bulba Restaurant in Moscow

We enjoyed a traditional Ukrainian lunch at this cute restaurant in Moscow before checking in at our hotel.

Buses Wait for Passengers Outside Museum

River cruise tour groups are usually divided into groups for the duration of the tour. Each group had their own bus when touring.

Military Airplanes at the Central Museum of Armed Forces in Moscow, Russia

Although much of the military museum was indoors, there was quite a collection of planes, helicopters, missile launchers, and tanks outside.

Foreign Ministry Building, One of Moscow's Seven Stalinist-Gothic Skyscrapers

Seven skyscrapers with layers giving them a "wedding cake" appearance dot the Moscow skyline. The style is considered Stalinist-Gothic.

Russian and American War Veterans at the Central Museum of Armed Forces

Meeting with some World War II Russian War veterans was a highlight of our day at the Central Museum of Armed Forces in Moscow.

Rocket Launchers and Missiles at the Central Museum of Armed Forces in Moscow

The inside of this museum is particularly impressive, but you will need a guide since all of the signage is only in Russian.

Old Arbat Pedestrian Shopping Area in Moscow

We all enjoyed exploring the shops on this mile-long pedestrian shopping area.

Food prices were high in the tourist attraction, with two small pizzas, two small beers, and a bottle of water at an outdoor cafe costing $40. Many of our group ate at the large McDonalds, where prices were more reasonable.

Female Cosmonaut Model at Star City Cosmonaut Training Center near Moscow

Female cosmonauts play an important role in the Russian space program. In 1963, Valentina Tereshkova from Yaroslavl was the first woman in space.

Souvenir Shop in Old Arbat Shopping Area in Moscow

The area of Old Arbat had many English signs to attract the tourist trade.

Centrifuge at Star City Outside Moscow, Russia

This 18 meter centrifuge is the world's largest. The centrifuge weighs over 30000 tons, and the maximum load is 30 G, but most tests are run at 3 or 4 G.

A centrifuge ride is the first test for a cosmonaut, whose entire training school takes from five to eight years. The centrifuge can simulate the extreme force of gravity that cosmonauts (and astronauts) face when going into space. A centrifuge training session lasts about 30 minutes, and the trainee experiences both the centrifugal force as well as the spin of the pod he/she is riding in. Just typing this makes me a little queasy!

Cosmonaut's Bathroom Facilities on First Space Flights at Star City

Just like in the USA, everyone who visits the Star City cosmonaut training center near Moscow wants to know how cosmonauts "go to the bathroom". They have more sophisticated equipment today, but this contraption from the early space flights is fairly self explanatory.

Star City Tank Used for Cosmonaut Weightlessness Training near Moscow

This 12-meter deep pool is used to simulate weightlessness training. The pool is flooded and the cosmonauts perform repair tasks on the model of the International Space Station. SCUBA diving underwater is very similar to the weightless experience the cosmonauts experience when working in outer space.

Mir Space Station Replica at Star City near Moscow

The original Mir disintegrated when it fell to earth in 2001. Mir, which means peace in Russian, was launched in 1986.

Marvel Paull with Statue of Yuri Gagarin at Star City near Moscow

Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space, and the Star City Cosmonaut training center was named after him in 1968.

River Cruise Passengers with Yuri Onufrienko, Russian Cosmonaut at Star City

In case you can't tell, Yuri is the one in the middle. My famous traveling mother, Marvel Paull, is on the left and Dick, a cruise friend is on the right.

A highlight of our day in Star City was a visit with Yuri Onufrienko , a Russian cosmonaut who spent extended time in space at the Mir space station in 1996 and the International Space Station in 2001-2002. Yuri patiently took many questions from our small inquisitive group.

Cosmonaut Space Suit at Star City near Moscow

Cosmonauts sit in this position on take off. Thanks to Jerry G. for the tip about the sign. It says, "Don't touch!"

Stained Glass Window at Star City near Moscow

Program directors at farewell dinner in moscow.

After 16 days of discovery, learning, and fun, we had a farewell dinner with the six Program Directors - Evgeny, Olga, Vladimir, Svetlana, Violetta, and Marina - in Moscow.

The Kremlin is a triangular, walled citadel in the center of Moscow. The Kremlin is considered by most to be the heart of the city. First conceived in the 12th century, the Kremlin (which means fortress) was expanded by Tsar Ivan III (Ivan the Great) during the 15th century. His architects designed the magnificent Cathedral of the Assumption and the Faceted Palace, and the Kremlin was an interesting mix of both Russian and Renaissance styles. During the Soviet time of the 1930s, many of the Kremlin buildings were destroyed or vandalized, and the complex remained closed to the public until 1955.

Today the Kremlin is home to the Russian President and his administration. Many buildings are open to the public, but you may need to be with a guide (check in advance).

I visited the Kremlin when in Moscow on a Russian Waterways cruise tour from St. Petersburg.

The Kremlin was also one of the 21 finalists for the New Seven Wonders of the World.  

Red Square in Moscow, Russia

Red Square's name has nothing to do with Communism or Soviet Russia. The old Russian word for "beautiful" and "red" was the same; the square was supposed to be called "Beautiful Square". Red Square has been the center of Moscow activity since the 16th century when the Tsar cleared the area and allowed vendors, shoppers, and businesses to fill the square. Today this square is surrounded by the Moscow Kremlin, the State Historical Museum, GUM Shopping Mall , and St. Basil's Cathedral .

Many of the important events of the last three hundred years in Russia have been marked by parades or demonstrations in Red Square. Anyone who enters Red Square will have memories from TV or movie reels of this magnificent public square. Those of us who grew up during the Cold War era can remember the parades of soldiers, tanks, and other armaments past Lenin's Tomb just outside the Kremlin Wall. The World War II generation remembers Red Square as the site of a huge victory celebration at the end of the war.
