The Ulenspiegel was an sow-Irish magazine of the post-war period of the Second World War and an important chapter of the cultural new beginning after the Hitler years in Germany. It since December 1945 fortnightly in Berlin von Herbert Sandberg and way fount given change with a initial number of copies of 120.000, after the currency reform 50,000, later 75,000 copies. The magazine stood from 1946 - 1948 under the allying license of the American military authority, of 1949 - 1950 under the license of the Soviet authorities. The chief editorship led occasional Carl Schnog.

The political satire sheet rather left-oriented understood itself in the tradition of the Simplicissimus and other classical magazines of humor and the satire. It represented thus a forerunner of the later magazines Pardon, Titanic and concretely. In addition, as a platform for art and literature understood itself. In the democratic departure of the post-war period met here writers, Illustratoren, caricaturists and commercial artists, more differently more culturally and political orientation, in order to commentate and accompany above all of Germany political, cultural and economic development sow-Irish. Played satire, humor, Cartoon, caricature and Comics a special role, in addition, the Wiederentdeckung of verfemter, forgotten art of the classical avant-garde. Thus the sheet possessed occasionally a art print supplement with reproductions of pictures Picassos, Chagall and many other artists from past and present, forbidden under Hitler.

Establishment

Herbert Sandberg and way fount, straight from the concentration camps of Hitler Germany released, met in June 1945 in Berlin on the cure prince dam. Sandberg had a finished concept for the satire sheet thereby. Emil Carl brook, that had accepted the license Frankfurter Rundschau and Peter de Mendelssohn, who was responsible for the press with the American stood with the establishment godfather. Intentions and circumstances become clear from the imprint of 1946: "The independent and unzensierte ULENSPIEGEL every 14 days appear provisional on Friday in the Ulenspiegel publishing house striking iron & CO. G.m.b.H. Berlin Dahlem 22"Â… The Ulenspiegel publishing house is certified from message control of the American military government."

History

Already 1934 - 1941 appeared to Ulenspiegel under the name a period of operation writing of the Ullstein publishing house (Ullstein A.G.). With this however the new sheet did not have to do anything. In the editorship meetings of the Ulenspiegel met writers and artists, emigrants, editors and commercial artists, who had survived the dark years somehow, to explosive discussions around the present and future of Germany from the democratic beginnings to the cold war and splitting.

The publishers could help so some on the index standing to the so-called "Persilschein", the work permit. Now everyone was used, in order to develop a democratic medium happening again. Initially they were supported thereby by the Americans. However these pressurized the editorship soon after currency reform, blockade and establishment of the GDR because of to left tendencies. The cold war kulminierte. Herbert Sandberg quit finally the license and accepted 1948 an offer of the Soviet military authority.

The magazine appearing now in east Berlin had to live still by August 1950, then the license was quit also there. The comrades in east Berlin it was now too western and modern.

A competitor in the Soviet sector was the freshness wind, which after the end of the Ulenspiegel, following whose name starting from 1954 called itself Eulenspiegel and this very day in Berlin appears (conditions: 2005).

The Ulenspiegel publishing house brought 1949 out also 20 numbers of a magazine with the title "Fuffzehn for diverted one and annoyed one", Hrsg. of Lothar Ku, and few book publications.
