Along with Harald Schmidt, Herbert Feuerstein has formed a delightful duo on entertainment television for years. The subtle, idiosyncratic and highly cultured cabaret also shone in the travel formats and the “Lindenstrasse”. Now he has died at the age of 83.
Journalist and entertainer Herbert Feuerstein died at the age of 83. The WDR reports. Feuerstein achieved national fame alongside Harald Schmidt. The duo co-moderated shows like “Schmidtanders” and “Pssst …”.
Furthermore, Feuerstein was seen as a kidnapper of Mother Beimer on “Lindenstrasse” and as a researcher and scout in “Feuersteins Reisen”. The cabaret artist offered the best entertainment in a continuous chord: on “Feuersteins Nacht” he entertained his audience live for twelve hours.
Feuerstein was born in Austria in 1937. He first worked as a journalist, worked in the USA, and became editor-in-chief of the magazine “Mad” in Germany, which became extremely popular with him. Beginning in the 1990s he was seen primarily on television, where he was awarded various awards such as the Grimme Award, the Bambi Award, and the Comedy Award for his subtle work.

“We would like to thank Herbert Feuerstein for not only ‘Schmidtanders’, a cult show that made television history and changed a lot. and radio lessons. Very often he made us laugh. Today we are sad, “said WDR Director Tom Buhrow.
“Feuerstein was a genius; he told me himself and I confirmed it,” said late-night legend Schmidt of the death of his colleague from the WDR show. “During ‘Schmidt to each other’ he ordered me to die first, now things have turned out differently.” Schmidt also said that at his last meeting at the Berlin-Tegel airport security check, he told Feuerstein that he basically owed him his career. “He confirmed it to me: Feuerstein is immortal, at least as long as complete strangers reproduce the cleaning noise of the miniature rat on the escalator,” said the 63-year-old. “Thank you goodbye and gently servus on the nasal flute – goodbye, Feuerstein.”
