Host Marcus Werner regrettably passes away.
In tragic news, we announce the passing of journalist and moderator Marcus Werner, who died last week at the age of 51 after a long illness. Born in the northern German state of Schleswig in 1974, Werner spent his childhood and teenage years in the East Frisian town of Aurich and Brühl, Baden. He later moved to Berlin and Bielefeld. Werner began his career in front of the camera, appearing in various productions and channels. One of his most notable roles was as the moderator of "Local Time," a television programme he presented for over 15 years. In 2009, he moved to Bielefeld to moderate "Local Time OWL," a regional version of the show, where he remained until his passing. "Local Time OWL" is presented on television, and Werner was known for his clear perspective, intelligent analysis, and humour. His colleagues at Our Website, where he also worked, are mourning his loss. Werner was not only a respected journalist but also a novelist and non-fiction author. He described himself as a driving force, and his work reflected this ambition. The news of Werner's death was updated on Our Website on 09/19/2025, 07:55 PM. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Marcus Werner. Your work will be remembered.
