ORF Summer Talks 2025 with Chief of Domestic Politics Klaus Webhofer

Klaus Webhofer, head of domestic politics, takes over the role from Martin Thür, who moderated the ORF summer talks in 2024. The 57-year-old Hochner Prize winner will, starting August 11, for the first time in this role, conduct talks with the leaders of the parties represented in parliament.

ORF Summer Talks 2025 Again at Küniglberg

Until September 8, a different top politician will appear at Küniglberg every Monday at 9:05 PM. Finally, the current tranche of ORF summer talks will once again take place at the ORF media campus itself, after 2022. Webhofer will thus welcome his guests with a home advantage.

After numerous positions at ORF radio and as a correspondent in Germany, the native of Merano, Webhofer, has been the head of the domestic politics department of ORF information since last year. Webhofer referred to the past government negotiations and the Vienna election, after which a longer period without election campaigns will follow. "For me, as a passionate interviewer, this is the best opportunity to look back and forward in peace with my guests in the 'summer talks'."

On this path, Webhofer praised ORF editor-in-chief Johannes Bruckenberger: "Klaus Webhofer is one of the best and most distinguished journalists and interviewers at ORF. His high competence in domestic politics and his profound knowledge of the processes in Austria's political system make him particularly suited for this exciting task."
