Nowadays, the focus in politics is no longer on political content but rather on the personalization of politicians. This means that the image of politicians is more important than political arguments. Political interviews should, therefore, not only be informative and referential, but they must allow politicians to connect, be understood, and resonate with a broader public. Consequently, political interviews primarily fulfil an informative-persuasive text function. In this paper, it is assumed that the notion of personalization can be directly related to the gender of a person. Therefore, the focus of this paper lies on the qualitative analysis of gender-specific characteristics of political statements in the text type political interview. In the last section, the research results are discussed and an outlook on the potential application of the analyzed interviews in teaching German as a Foreign Language is provided.
