In 1961 Klönne founded the record label plans together with Gerd Semmer , Dieter Süverkrüp and Frank Werkmeister . Since 1957 he was involved in the publication of a magazine of the same name. With the record label, a publisher of the same name was created. In the 1960s he was a spokesman for the Easter march movement ; after the establishment of the Socialist Bureau as a collecting basin for the independent left in 1969, it also played a central role there. He was an employee of the magazine song and co-editor of the magazine Ossietzky , partner of the publishing house Ossietzky and member of the association ikoplan - Institute for Communication, Organization and Planning .

In 1960 Klönne temporarily left the SPD due to Herbert Wehner's positive position on NATO . In the 1970s he was banned from all party functions for two years. The occasion was his book Did Wehner destroy the SPD? from 1975.
