The Deutsche Allgemeine Sonntagsblatt was a German weekly newspaper published by the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) , which was founded in Hamburg in 1948 under the name "Sonntagsblatt". It existed until October 2000.

history

Like its predecessor, the Sonntagsblatt , it appeared in the Hansisches Druck-und-Verlagshaus in Hamburg from 1967 to 2000 . Johannes Lilje is considered to be the original founder in 1948. The Protestant theologian, writer and publicist Heinz Zahrnt was theological editor-in-chief of the Sonntagsblatt and the Deutsches Allgemeine Sonntagsblatt for 25 years . Axel Seeberg was one of the co-founders, was deputy editor-in-chief until 1953, specializing in foreign affairs, and from 1954 to 1972 he was editor-in-chief as successor to Hans Zehrer . For a long time Conrad Ahlers was responsible for domestic political reporting, Siegfried Lenz for literature; another correspondent was u. a. Wolfgang Storz . From 1991 to 2000 Arnd Brummer was editor-in-chief of the Deutsche Allgemeine Sonntagsblatt.

The ever decreasing number of subscribers required an ever increasing subsidy from the EKD. Since this was difficult to justify in times of increasingly scarce finances, the Deutsche Allgemeine Sonntagsblatt was converted into a monthly magazine with the name Chrismon (originally Chrisma ) in October 2000 . This has since appeared as a supplement in ZEIT , the Süddeutsche Zeitung , the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , the Frankfurter Rundschau and the Sächsische Zeitung . A more extensive edition can be subscribed to as Chrismon plus .

The online title sonntagsblatt.de was taken over in 2001 by the Evangelical weekly newspaper Sonntagsblatt from Bavaria.
