- Television personality from WDR, aged 51, passed away.

Marcus Werner, a beloved figure in regional television, passed away last week at the age of 51. The West German Broadcasting Corporation (WDR) announced his death on Friday evening.

Born in Schleswig, Werner began his career in television in 2009, hosting the show "Lokalzeit OWL." Prior to this, specific television productions with his involvement before 2009 are not clearly documented in the provided sources. However, from 2008 to 2011, Werner was also seen on Nickelodeon, although no significant productions before 2009 as a moderator are listed.

Werner significantly shaped regional television in East Westphalia, becoming known for his quick wit, direct approach, and ability to connect with audiences. Gabi Ludwig, chief editor of WDR regional programs, described him as a wonderful colleague and friend.

Ludwig also shared her sentiments about Werner's passing, saying, "His voice, energy, and ideas are greatly missed." She continued, "Werner had a knack for getting to the point of topics, and he understood what moved the audience."

Werner was considered the anchor of the Bielefelder broadcast, bringing a unique charm and charisma to his work. Over 15 years as a moderator, he made a lasting impact on regional television in East Westphalia.

As we remember and honour Marcus Werner, his legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of those he touched through his work.
