history
Unter uns appeared - after the first reform of Section 175 of the German Criminal Code (September 1969) - as the fourth magazine for homosexuals, after DU & ICH and him and DON , from 1972 to issue 12/1977 ( for those who like men ) at Antinoos-Zeitschriftenverlag GmbH, Cologne, managing director Erwin Röll, editor-in-chief Horst Beermann. The publication was interrupted from 1973 to 1976. 1977 wrote u. a. Joachim S. Hohmann for among us .
When the title was taken over in 1978 by Bild + Druck GmbH, Frankfurt / Main, under the responsibility of Georges Günter (pseudonym of Günther Goebel), counting began again with issue 1. a. Johannes Werres and Heinz SF Liehr. During the years at Bild + Druck, the 64-page magazine consisted only of gay stories and nudes.
With the number 15, the Darmstadt printer and publisher Henry Ferling took over the title (Henry Ferling unter uns / ADAM international publishing house), which u. a. already published the gay magazine DON .
From number 17, Michael Albert (pseudonym) wrote and designed the magazine in which his real name Jens MA Reimer only appeared later. When he took over the conception, editing and design with the number 33, Reimer's Munich office address also became the seat of the ADAM editorial team. To avoid a competitive situation (to the informative DON , in the same Ferling-Verlag), he developed an unusual mixture of erotic photos and gay-satirical contributions.
From number 51 (late 1984), Foerster-Verlag GmbH, Berlin, editorial headquarters in Frankfurt / Main, took over the title with a volume reduced to 54 pages and content that was limited to photos, stories and advertisements.
Over the years ADAM became the most important magazine title of the Foerster Media publishing house , which was published by the publisher from late 1984 to 2011. The target group were gays "to whom one doesn't have to explain homosexuality month after month ".
