Leistner Reisen & ski jumping legend Jens Weißflog at the Dresden Travel Fair. 

Germany’s most successful ski jumper, Jens Weißflog, has accepted an invitation from the Zwickau-based tour operator and will be available for photos, autographs, and brief conversations on Friday, January 30, 2026, between 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. at the LEISTNER REISEN booth in Hall 2, Booth B1. In addition, an exclusive interview will take place on stage at 4:25 p.m.

He’s actually notoriously grouchy in the mornings. So the fact that he’s been hosting the morning radio show for more than 15 years borders on a miracle.

André Hardt grew up in Köthen, Saxony-Anhalt. After studying literature in Leipzig, he worked as a bookseller, nurse, and copywriter until he discovered radio in the mid-1990s. He initially spent two years touring the entire state as an event host for the Saxon private station Radio PSR. There is likely hardly a place in Saxony where André Hardt hasn’t stood on a stage.

After various stops, including the morning show at MDR, André Hardt eventually joined the Saxon local radio network. There, he has been hosting the morning show “André und die Morgenmädels” since 2002; the show, which has won multiple awards, has become the longest-running and one of the most successful radio brands in Central Germany.

In addition to his daily presence on the radio, André Hardt continues to appear regularly on stage, hosting corporate events, gala events, trade conferences, and panel discussions focusing on political, cultural, or social topics. Furthermore, as a triathlete and Hawaii Ironman, he is a sought-after sports presenter.

At the trade fair, he will host the stage program as a presenter for via mobile.

Well-known TV host Harry Wijnvoord will discuss current trends in the coach travel market and, together with experienced product developers from Sachsen-Anhalt-Tours, will present the latest and most innovative travel experiences. 

From trips for grandparents and grandchildren to cool summer vacations and singles’ trips, many exciting new travel experiences will be presented.

He will be appearing on stage as a representative of Europa-Park on all three days.

In 1986, he began studying journalism at the University of Leipzig with a specialization in sports reporting, graduating with a degree in 1990. Starting in September 1989, Ingo Dubinski became the host of the youth magazine show ELF99, which caused a sensation during the GDR’s transition period and was awarded a Bambi after the fall of the Berlin Wall. From then until 2004, Ingo Dubinski appeared as a host in approximately 1,700 TV shows. He hosted WunschBox and Ein Platz an der Sonne until 2003. Until 2004, Dubinski produced and hosted his travel magazine Mit Dubinski reisen for MDR.

Dubinski also works as a journalist, author, filmmaker, and host outside of television. Among other things, he has repeatedly hosted the “Miss Germany” pageant. For Lufthansa, he hosted the “roll.in” of an Airbus A320 at Frankfurt Main Airport, and for Europa-Park, he hosted the openings of the Colosseo, Bell Rock, and Krønasår hotels. For 15 years, Ingo Dubinski has been involved with the German Children’s Fund and hosts the “Golden Göre” award ceremony at Europa-Park. In the summer of 2007, the German Children’s Fund appointed Dubinski as its ambassador. He was also a promotional partner for the Camp David brand and worked for three years in the United Arab Emirates as a tourism PR consultant.

He is the father of three children and lives with singer Silke Fischer near Plauen in the Vogtland region.
