history
The magazine was founded by Arnold Kübler and was first published in March 1941 by the Zurich publishing house Conzett & Huber under the name Swiss Monthly Journal . In 1964 it merged with the magazine Atlantis, which had existed since 1929, under the editor-in-chief Manuel Gasser (1957–1974) . In 1989 it was sold to the Zürcher Tages-Anzeiger Group under editor-in-chief Dieter Bachmann (1988–1998) . 1998–2002 Marco Meier was added to the editor-in-chief; Christian Seiler followed as boss (2002–2004). From 2004 to 2007 the magazine belonged to the architecture publishing house Niggli . In August 2007 it was sold to the Rapperswil publisher Oliver Prange , who has also been editor-in-chief since December 2011. Before 2007, the editorial team, consisting of Helga Leiprecht (died 2006), Andreas Nentwich , Jacqueline Schärli and Camille Schlosser had overall responsibility; they left the magazine when it was sold.
First as an art magazine, then as a culture magazine, it has been perceived over the decades as a very high quality medium within the German-speaking cultural landscape. Since its inception in 1941, the authors and contributors to the magazine have included artists, thinkers and politicians from all over the world, including the names of Carl G. Jung , Hilde Spiel , Henri Cartier-Bresson , Golo Mann or Jean Ziegler .
