Peter von Zahn (1913 -2001) was a German author, film maker, and journalist.
Born in Chemnitz as a son of an officer, he grew up in Dresden and studied law, history, and philosophy. He was drafted at the beginning of World War II. After the war, he was one of the founders of the Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR). For three years, he managed the NWDR Studio in Duesseldorf where he introduced anglo-saxon style journalism with self-critical irony.
In 1951, he went to the United States as a foreign correspondent. He worked until a very advanced age and produced over 3000 radio shows and 1000 television films.
He died in Hamburg aged 88.
