Overview
- Papendick returned to television on Sunday with a live appearance for RTL’s Zweitligakonferenz from Cottbus at 13:00, as she announced on Instagram and multiple outlets reported.
- She and partner Alexander Hindersmann announced the birth of their second son on June 15, and Papendick had signaled she planned to resume work roughly eight weeks after the birth.
- Papendick told media she missed presenting and believes working again will help her be a more balanced and satisfied parent.
- The presenter has been part of RTL’s sports team since 2021 and is reported to have further assignments in the coming weeks, with BILD citing a scheduled moderation on August 15 at the Betzenberg.
- Her approach is event-based rather than daily, which she says limits time away from home and relies on her partner and family support to care for the children while she does short, focused on-air shifts.
