Die Umschau: Internationale Revue was published by Adam Johannes Haller in three volumes from 1946 (September) to 1948 in the Internationale Universum-Verlag in Mainz . It was "[a] authorized by order of the Gouvernement Militaire No. 3428 | Ja./DGAA/INF of July 11, 1946", that is, the French Commander-in-Chief in Germany Marie-Pierre Kœnig . (For information on licensing requirements, see license press ).

The Umschau wanted to "contribute to ending the alienation between the Germans and the world";

“She wants to fight German egocentrism with positive means; What is thought, considered, questioned, believed, desired or abhorred elsewhere, she wants to convey to the German reader, which prevented the Gestapo and often enough self-imposed self-restraint from gaining knowledge of it. "

- Adam Johannes Haller

The employees for the magazine were sought among those “those in external or internal exile, who found their home in concentration camps and prisons in the 12 years of German shame and shame, whom we do not want to forget because we have to learn from them. "
