Tim Klein

Tim Klein was born on 11 January 1999 in Gehrden and grew up in various parts of Hannover. After attending the Waldorf school in Hannover-Bothfeld, he began a degree in social sciences, which did not fully inspire him. Having loved writing since childhood, he started an internship at MADS, the part of the Madsack publishing group aimed at young people. After the internship he stayed on and gained experience at other titles in the group, such as the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung.

Topics: Tim enjoyed working in journalism so much that he decided to drop out of his degree and make a fresh start on the journalism programme at Hochschule Hannover. What he has enjoyed most so far: contact with people and the stories they have to tell.
