engels , subtitled Kultur.Kino.Wuppertal , is a monthly magazine in Wuppertal with film and cultural reporting . The publisher is Berndt Media-Verlag in Bochum .
history
engels was founded in 2001 by publisher Joachim Berndt in Wuppertal, based on the model of the Cologne magazine choices . The predecessor was the “Cinema” magazine, which presented the programs of some art cinemas. When several cinemas were closed, the question of whether the magazine would continue to exist arose. Joachim Berndt decided to re-establish the company, which he named after the communist writer Friedrich Engels , who was born in Wuppertal . The column “engels tongues” presents excerpts of letters to Engels. The focus is on current film reporting. In addition, there are cultural articles from the fields of music, stage, dance, art, literature and alternative culture in Wuppertal and the surrounding area, occasionally from the entire Ruhr area . Since 2006 there has also been a monthly topic that - in conjunction with choices and trailers - deals with current socio-political issues. The editorial team is located at Berndt Media-Verlag in Bochum and is networked with choices and trailer , which means that articles are mutually adopted. The best articles are also published on the superordinate website kultur-kino-bildung.de. Within the publishing house, engels is seen as a test laboratory for new ideas. In the beginning, editing, graphics, advertising acquisition and sales were in the hands of the editor, Joachim Berndt. In 2004 a deputy editor-in-chief was introduced. Since 2011 there has been an editor-in-chief responsible for all three magazines. There are also individual department heads, for example for film or theater. The engels logo has remained the same since it was founded. In the layout, the various categories are differentiated by color. The website was set up in 2007.
Alignment
The orientation is left-liberal . At the beginning there was an orientation towards the taz . With the cover slogan “How do we want to live ? ” Engels documents his claim to address current socio-political issues and developments. Ethically, it is based on the principles of the French Enlightenment and the United Nations. Feedback from readers says that the magazines published by Berndt-Media-Verlag “offer orientation in a society that is fraying on all sides”. engels was the first magazine to be printed on chlorine-free paper. And was one of the first to receive the seal for climate-neutral printing. Berndt Media-Verlag was the first member of the Federal German Working Group for Environmentally Conscious Management. V., or BAUM for short , a network for sustainable business. He is committed to the BAUM code of conduct for sustainable business practices, which is why his booklets are allowed to carry the BAUM logo.
