Peter Kloeppel will host his last RTL show in the summer. The 65-year-old is leaving the television station's daily news business.

The Frankfurt native has been the chief presenter of “RTL aktuell’ since March 30, 1992. He has received numerous honors in his career, such as the Grimme Special Prize, the German Television Prize and the Audience Bambi. The reason for saying goodbye to the television world is also his family.
