A new Bundestag will be elected on February 23rd. The winter break of the ZDF talk “Markus Lanz” ends on Tuesday. A Union politician is one of the guests.

Markus Lanz’s talk has been an integral part of the ZDF program since 2008. The show, produced in Hamburg, goes on air three times a week, namely on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. And that gives ZDF above-average ratings in almost all cases. Lanz usually talks to four to five people in his program, which lasts around 75 minutes.

Today, January 7, 2025, “Markus Lanz” starts at 11:15 p.m. Markus Lanz will then focus primarily on the election campaign that has started before the federal election at the end of February.
