Early life and career

From 1984 to 1987 Schinnenburg worked as an employed dentist. From 1987 until his election to the German Bundestag in 2017 he ran his own practice in Oststeinbek near Hamburg. In addition to his work as a dentist, he began studying law at the University of Hamburg in 1989, which he completed in 1994 with the First State Examination; in 1997, he took the Second State Examination at the Higher Regional Court of Celle. During his studies, he completed study visits and internships in Port-au-Prince, Los Angeles, Chiang Mei, Jerusalem and Washington, D.C.
In 1998, Schinnenburg opened a law firm in addition to his dental practice. Since 2006, he has been a specialist lawyer for medical law and since 2007 a mediator.
Since March 2023, Schinnenburg is moderating the interview magazine Veto on Massengeschmack-TV as the successor to Holger Kreymeier.[2]
