Marion Horn began a
traineeship at the age of 19 with the W&W publishing house in Hamburg and the "St. Pauli News." In 1992, Horn became the editor-in-chief of
Bauer Media Group's erotic magazine
Das neue Wochenend. In 1998, she moved to
TV Hören und Sehen as editor-in-chief and then to the
Hamburger Morgenpost, where she succeeded
Mathias Döpfner. In 2001, she joined
Bild, and in 2013, she became the first female editor of
Bild am Sonntag. Horn left
Axel Springer SE at the end of 2019, citing the planned merger of the editorial teams of
Bild and
Bild am Sonntag as the reason for her departure. Starting in 2020, she spent a year as a partner at the communications consultancy Kekst CNC, which is part of the
Publicis Groupe. She returned to
Bild in 2023 as Chairperson of the
Bild Group's Editorial Board as part of a restructuring at Axel Springer. == Personal life ==
