The upright one
The upright was a monarchist magazine and appeared from 1919 to 1938. The magazine was the publication organ of the monarchist federation of the upright founded on November 9, 1918 .
The magazine was published twice a month in Berlin by the Vaterländische Verlags- und Kunstanstalt GmbH in the B 5 format, which is unusual today . The Berlin writer Ernst Pfeiffer was the editor, editor in charge and publisher . The office was located in Berlin SW 61 at Möckernstrasse 61.
On the front page were among the large, in German Gothic script written name The Upright in a smaller font size, also in fracture, multiple lines of subtitles:
| The upright one | |
| A fighter for Christian = German renewal | |
| Truly | Fearless |
| (Yet) | |
| Defensible | Loyal to |
| A German people's paper | |
| With God for King and Fatherland! - With God for Emperor and Empire! | |
The "nevertheless" was in a circle surrounded by the four other words as shown above with a drawing of a black-white-red flag of the German Empire held up by a hand .
From 1934 the magazine traded under the name Der Aufrechte - Volkstümliche Blätter für Geschichte, Tradition und Leben - the above subtitles were dropped. The renaming had become necessary after the ban of the Confederation of the Upright.
The newspaper survived the Union of the Upright , which had been banned since 1934, by almost four years and was finally banned by the Nazi regime in 1938. The readers were informed of this in the last edition, No. 12/1938 of June 28, 1938: The edition consisted only of a sheet with the head of the magazine and the sentence below: “The 'upright' is prohibited until further notice !
