Little is known about her family: presenter Barbara Schöneberger keeps her children out of the spotlight. Now take a rare glimpse into her private life.
Barbara Schöneberger is one of the most famous presenters on German television. However, she keeps her private life away from the public, especially the privacy of her children protects it as her greatest treasure.
The only thing known is that she is the mother of a boy and a girl who were born in 2010 and 2013. On the occasion of World Children’s Day on September 20, the 46-year-old woman spoke to t-online about her education, her own childhood and how you feel about authority. You can also watch the video interview with Barbara Schöneberger on the site in Berlin above, or here.
t-online: Ms. Schöneberger, what rights should change for the better for children, even now in the corona pandemic?
Barbara Schöneberger: The right to time without smartphones and game consoles. I believe that children should have more rights, opportunities and suggestions to put aside the media and break with it. I think kids don’t even see that as a big problem. But as an old-world adult, the biggest problem is what the use of these devices does to children. It goes through all areas. That goes from language to content. I would like to know more regulated what children face.
Was it better to grow up earlier than it is now?
No, definitely not. I think now we are exaggerating how much we turn to our children. Children need love and stability. For a child, the world does not have to be turned upside down every day. I think there is no such thing as excessive love and cuddling or hugging too often.
Do you see big differences between your own childhood and that of your children?
Yes, my mother added sugar to strawberries, for example. Today I would not dare to do that. But my mother thinks that’s why I became something. (Serie)
How were you as a child? Did sugar wake you up or were you a good kid?
I was a relatively quiet kid. I think my mother would see it differently at one point or another, but I did everything I had to. I did well in school, I didn’t drink alcohol, I was home when I was supposed to be there, I didn’t smoke. It was easy to act when I was a teenager. I also followed him because I felt that my parents were true authority figures. Looking back, I think that’s good.
I was not allowed to do many things until I was 18 years old. I always advocate a strict upbringing, but that doesn’t mean I’m not loving. My upbringing was incredibly loving and I had no doubts about the stability of our family. This is important.
Were you more mom or dad?
My father was more casual, but rubbed me and chatted more with my mother. My parents are always with us and it is still a lot of fun to this day. We have a very, very good relationship with each other.
