Berthold Kohler

Berthold Kohler is the Herausgeber (Publisher) of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (F.A.Z.). He is newsworthy due to his role in hosting and moderating the F.A.Z.-Kongress, a significant German conference. Recent articles highlight his interactions with prominent figures like Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz. Kohler interviewed Merz at the congress, discussing topics such as the Irankrieg and Merz's phone call with the US President, revealing disagreements and concerns about escalation. The F.A.Z.-Kongress itself, and therefore Kohler's role in it, is relevant as a platform for discussing critical political and economic issues facing Germany and the world, providing insights into the perspectives of key decision-makers and experts. Kohler's position at the F.A.Z. gives him a prominent voice in German media and politics.
