Echo of home (magazine)

The Echo der Heimat , also known as Austria's largest Heimat-Illustrierte , was an Upper Austrian weekly magazine that existed from 1945 to 1974.

The magazine was founded in 1945 by Gustaf Adolf Neumann and was published by the “Gustaf-Adolf-Neumann-Verlag” in Vienna . At the beginning it was considered politically " right-wing ". In 1946 there was therefore an uprising against Neumann.

In the mid-1950s it became Austria's largest weekly newspaper and caused a sensation “through a campaign for innocent convicts”, with a total of 13 people being rehabilitated. These included:

• Wilhelm Gratzl
• Alois Manninger
• Josef Auer and Huberth Ranneth
• Erich Rebitzer
• Rudolf Rechberger
• Franz Thiel

The campaign helped ensure that the death penalty was not reintroduced in Austria.
