Farmer echo
The Bauernecho was the central organ of the Democratic Peasant Party of Germany (DBD) in the GDR . The daily newspaper had a large circulation and published numerous agricultural texts.
The DBD was the only one of the five GDR block parties that did not maintain any regional newspapers in the districts.
The Bauernecho was founded in 1948 and initially appeared as a weekly newspaper with a circulation of 125,000 copies. The first editor-in-chief was Leonhard Helmschrott , who remained editor-in-chief of the paper until 1989.
After the turnaround and the peaceful revolution , the Bauernecho was taken over by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung publishing group and initially continued under the name Deutsches Landblatt . On July 31, 1992, the Deutsche Landblatt and the other newspapers of the GDR CDU (in which the DBD was incorporated in 1990), which had also been taken over by the FAZ, were discontinued.
