Ulrike started her television career in 1982 as an external reporter. Four years later, she hosted the first broadcast on television, followed by other formats. Ulrike was able to establish herself as the moderator of the current sports studio. In 1990 she signed a contract with the RTL television company in Cologne and has since represented the weekly TV magazine in a private television company. This show has been shown for over 20 years. The RTL television hosted many more shows with the moderator, so that she became one of the most popular Germans in the future, which in turn could ensure good ratings that otherwise only Stefan Raab would have achieved.

Ulrike currently receives a salary of 125,000 euros. There has been a popular quiz on RTL since 1999, in which participants can win up to one million euros.

According to Ulrike, there is also no written contract between her and RTL, since the relationship of trust between her and the private broadcaster is higher than a written contract can regulate. According to her, the salary remains the same as almost 20 years ago.
