history

From 1949 to 1980 Radebeul was the editorial office of the newspaper, from 1980 Dresden . In the first few years the Soviet military administration allowed a print run of 40,000 four-page copies, which were, however, subject to censorship , so that individual passages were repeatedly deleted in the following years. After 1990 the length was gradually increased from eight to twelve pages. The number of subscribers, however, fell. Der Sonntag has been produced since 1998 in cooperation with the newspapers Die Kirche (Magdeburg) and Glaube und Heimat (Weimar).

Until 1990, Der Sonntag was moved by the Evangelical Bookstore Max Müller in Karl-Marx-Stadt . From 1991 this task was taken over by the Evangelische Verlagsanstalt Leipzig . In 2001 the editorial office was moved to Leipzig. Der Sonntag has been published by the Evangelisches Medienhaus publishing house in this city since 2009 .
