Sigrun Rottstädt

Born in Dresden, Sigrun Rottstädt is a radio presenter with heart and soul and is particularly fond of working in the cultural sector. Variety in life is important to her, which is why she feels so at home working for the radio where she experiences surprises and meets new people every day. In addition to her job there, she presents concerts, theatre plays and other events where, unlike on the radio, she can come into direct contact with her audience.
