Eckart von Hirschhausen

Eckart von Hirschhausen (born 25 August 1967) is a German doctor, talk show host and comedian.

Journalism and television

In 1996, von Hirschhausen started writing, mainly for Focus and Der Tagesspiegel. His first appearance on television is believed to have been as a guest contestant performing magic tricks in Jürgen von der Lippe‘s show Geld oder Liebe (‘Money or Love’).[2] From 1998 to 2003, he hosted the weekly health advisory show Service: Gesundheit (‘Service: Health’) on Hessischer Rundfunk Television. Since 2004 he has been a weekly contributor to Stern: Sprechstunde (“Stern: Consultation Hour”): his column is called Die Etwas Andere Medizinkolumne (“The Somewhat Different Medicine Column”).[3]

Since the mid-1990s, von Hirschhausen has performed as a stand-up comedian, show host and magician in variety. He is also a cabaret artist performing his own, and other, cabaret programmes. He was a guest artist in Berlin, in London and at the Cologne Comedy Festival 1997. Hirschhausen was also a member of the panels of contributors to the Knoff-Hoff-Show on ZDF and 7 Tage, 7 Köpfe (‘7 days, 7 heads’) on RTL. Since 21 January 2004, he has been answering viewers’ questions in his column Dr. von Hirschhausen wills wissen (‘Dr. von Hirschhausen wants to know’) in the scientific television show W wie Wissen (‘K for Knowledge’) on ARD. In Hirschhausens Wissensbisse (‘Hirschhausen’s knowledge-bites’) he also presents strange news and facts from the world of scientific research.[4] Hirschhausen is a regular on the cabaret show Ottis Schlachthof (‘Otti’s Slaughterhouse’) on Bayerisches Fernsehen and Quatsch Comedy Club on Pro Sieben.[5] In 2007, he was a frequent guest on the ARD show ‘Schmidt and Pocher’. He is also a speaker specialising in communication and motivational training. At the end of 2008, he founded a charity foundation ‘Humor hilft heilen – für mehr gesundes Lachen im Krankenhaus’ (‘Humour helps the healing process – for more healthy laughing in hospitals’). Since September 2009, he has co-hosted the successor show of ‘Die Tietjen und Dibaba’ on NDR with Bettina Tietjen.

Von Hirschhausen has developed a cabaret routine similar to that of Ludger Stratmann, also a PhD Medical Doctor and cabaret artist. They both focus on the doctor-patient relationship, while von Hirschhausen specifically points out the inability and unwillingness of professionals in his field to express themselves clearly. He also focuses on the typical routines and rituals which, when separated from the professional environment, appear comical and absurd.

Magician

Since 1995 Hirschhausen is member of Magischer Zirkel von Deutschland. in competitions he won 1st and 2nd prizes and founded a “Think Theatre” with a mixture of comedy and magic.

He ended his stage career in 2023 and is now working to improve the earth´s climate and other constructive things.

Jonathan Palmer

Jonathan Charles Palmer (born 7 November 1956) is a British businessman and former Formula One racing driver. Before opting for a career in motor racing, Palmer trained as a physician at London’s Guy’s Hospital. He also worked as a junior physician at Cuckfield and Brighton hospitals.

He is currently the majority shareholder and Chief Executive of MotorSport Vision (MSV), a company that runs six UK motorsport circuits, the PalmerSport corporate driving event at Bedford Autodrome and several racing championships including British Superbikes and GB3.[3]

Prior to his business life, Palmer was active in Formula One between 1983 and 1989, and drove for TyrrellWilliamsRAM, and Zakspeed. He won 14 Championship points from 83 starts. He also raced a Group C Porsche in sports car events between 1983 and 1990, winning the 1984 1000 km of Brands Hatch with co-driver Jan Lammers and taking second place at the 1985 24 Hours of Le Mans with co-drivers James Weaver and Richard Lloyd.

Palmer helped develop the McLaren F1 road car, and drove one to a new speed record for production cars.

Following his education at Brighton College, Palmer raced an Austin Healey Sprite and a Marcos in club events while he was a medical student at Guy’s Hospital.[4] He went on to work as a doctor at Cuckfield and Brighton hospitals, and opted for a professional driving career after he had participated in Formula Ford from 1978 to 1980. He won the British Formula 3 Championship in 1981,[5] and landed a Williams Formula One test drive in 1982. The following year he won the European Formula Two Championship, and the British Racing Drivers’ Club awarded him their Gold Star.

Palmer joined Williams as a test driver for the 1982 and 1983 seasons whilst racing in F2, and made his Formula One debut at Brands Hatch on 25 September 1983, driving a Williams in the European Grand Prix. This drive was a ‘thank you’ from Frank Williams and Patrick Head. He finished 13th out of 26 starters. Moving to the Skoal Bandit RAM March team in 1984, his six finishes yielded one 8th place, three 9th, one 10th, and one 13th. He joined Zakspeed in 1985, starting in eight races and retiring from all except the 1985 Detroit Grand Prix, where he finished 11th. Sixteen starts with the same team in 1986 resulted in eight retirements and a best finish of 8th in Detroit.

In 1987, Palmer talked with McLaren boss Ron Dennis about becoming the team’s No. 2 driver to double World Champion Alain Prost. Dennis ultimately signed Stefan Johansson, and Palmer joined Tyrrell a week before the season’s opening race in Brazil. Although outpaced by its turbocharged competitors, Tyrrell’s naturally-aspirated Cosworth-powered car proved reliable, and it was nimble on tighter circuits. Palmer won championship points in three races, and it was in the Australian Grand Prix that he achieved his career-best fourth-place finish. He also won the Jim Clark Cup, a championship for drivers of normally aspirated cars. He stayed with Tyrrell for the next two seasons, during which his best results were two 5th-place finishes and three 6th. At the end of 1989 he signed as McLaren’s test driver.

Rolf Spangenberg

Rolf Spangenberg (February 7, 1932 – 7 January 2020) was born in Hamburg and wanted to become veterinarian when he was 6 years old. After his “Abitur” (high school degree) he studied veterinary medicine in Gießen, Hannover and Berlin. Besides his work as veterinarian and his engagement in the protection of animals he worked as a journalist and wrote several books. Today he gives tips in a bunch of papers and magazines as well as in TV and radio broadcasts. If he has some time left over he goes travelling and hiking with his wife and goes biking with his motor bike just besides his participation in marathon runs. Apart from sharks and certain insects there is no animal race he does not like. At home he has a snake (“Kornnatter”) named Karoline as pet and likes its beauty and its tolerance when he is out of house so often.

“It is proof that I wanted to become veterinarian at age 6. For a child in an established Hamburg family rather unusual. After studies in Gießen, Hannover and Berlin this target was reached at age 25.

When assisting at births of animals I often had to entertain the people standing around so they would not go away and would be at disposition to help out a little. Often the farmers’ wives said: “Doctor your sutures are much better than those on my belly!”

My first microphone was in my hands at RTL (radio) talking about “all my animals” with Rainer Holbe. After this RTL-TV called and we made “simply animalistic” for three years. In the early 80-ies I began the “veterinarian visit” at SWR 4 radio and felt like home there besides TV productions with 3sat and ZDF. Then SWR-TV produced “Rat & Tat” and our team worked like a big family. WHERE is it possible to continue a production for nearly 20 years??”
