Claus Kleber ensured on Friday in the “heute journal“ (ZDF) for a surprising Moment – something that happens normally in the Format of never.

Mainz – Claus Kleber is a highly reputable Journalist – because it does not fit in it, actually, to sing in the “today journal” of a song. But that’s exactly what he did on Friday night.

What happened? In the “today journal” ran a contribution to the end of an Era. That of the German coal-mining. This concluded that the pals sang together the traditional climbing song (“happiness…”).

“heute journal”-Moderator Claus Kleber is buzzing in the TV a song

As the article ends, adhesive is shown. And: You can hear him! As he mitsummt the song, seemingly lost in thought. Before he takes a deep breath and on to the next topic.

Claus Kleber Has not noticed that he is already back on the air? It was a glitch? Or a homage full of respect for the miners who have worked underground for decades? Probably more the latter. But it remains open. One way or the other: It makes glue, only more likeable.

The scene you see here in the ZDF media library from about 2:35 minutes.

Various Twitter users are celebrating the action:

Background: coal production in Germany, with a ceremony on Friday

With the promotion of the last coal is on Friday an era in the German industry went to the end of the story ended. “We are here, on Prosper-Haniel, to witness a historic moment,” said Federal President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the ceremony to mark the end of the German coal mining industry at the coal mine Prosper-Haniel in Bottrop. Area Steiger, Jürgen Jakubeit had given to him before the seven-kilogram last piece of Coal from the colliery in the Ruhr area. For the miners it was “a day of mourning,” said Steinmeier at the emotional final act on the winding tower of the mine.

With the closure of the last mine in the use of coal in Germany, but not to the end. In the generation of electricity and in the steel works, they will be replaced in the future entirely by imported coal. How much coal is used to generate electricity in the coming years, is also likely to depend on the results of the deliberations in the days of the coal Commission. This year, the coal has contributed to 13 percent of German electricity generation.

Claus Kleber (ZDF): criticism after the slip of the tongue in the “today journal”

Our article of 4. November 2018:

Mainz – Since a few days is a very special Film in German cinemas. Throughout the eight years it took, until he was finally produced ready. The speech is from “Bohemian Rhapsody”, a Film about the British Band Queen and biography from the high-pitched singer Freddie Mercury.

wanted to, of course, also report the “heute journal” (ZDF) on Wednesday vorvergangener week. “While we send will start in German cinemas Bohemian Rhapsody, of the most hotly Gorabet anticipated Film of the year”, was moderated by ZDF television presenter Claus Kleber in the last section of the show. So far, So good. But then the Journalist with the Moderation was pretty hard.

Claus Kleber promises in the “today journal”: a Queen or Queens?

Actually, glue is one of the most experienced moderators in Germany. However, the 63-Year-old not much of a Queen seems to be a Fan, because to him an embarrassing mistake, not once, but twice.

He told namely that the Film “was about Freddie Mercury, the front man of Queens”. Queens – or rather Queen? Queens is a borough of New York, and has nothing to do with the famous British rock band.

A slip of the tongue? Obviously not, because shortly after that, re-glue, repeated the same mistake again: “it’s Actually a movie can not go wrong, the plays, the blast of Queens up and down, as long as you have an actor that represents the completely over-the-top Freddie Mercury in a convincing way.”

“Embarrassing”: User on Twitter indignant

The error, not the spectators, and also in the social networks, of course, go unnoticed.

just before the end of the programme, the presenter: “the Queen corrected, of course. Singular. Unique.“ Thus, all of the viewers were reassured hopefully.
