Editors-in-chief

In 1924 Ernst Otto was the editor , then Wilhelm Bauer - until the entire ecclesiastical press was forced to shut down throughout Germany in the spring of 1941 (the last one-sheet edition of Faith and Home was published on June 1, 1941).

Editor-in-chief from the re-establishment from 1946 to 1956 was Hans Waldmann (1905–1979). He was followed by Herbert von Hintzenstern (1916–1996), who headed the editorial team until 1981 - for 25 years. Editor-in-chief from 1981 to 1990 was Gottfried Müller , who later became the first President of the Thuringian Parliament , which was revived in 1990 . Christine Lässig headed the editorial team from 1990 to 2007, followed by Martin Hanusch (until 2012) and Dietlind Steinhöfel (until September 2015). Willi Wild has been editor-in-chief since October 1, 2015 .

Newspaper name

The founders of the church newspaper consciously based the title of the church newspaper in 1924 on the play of the same name by the Austrian writer Karl Schönherr, Faith and Homeland, from 1910, which also hit the screen as the silent film Faith and Homeland in 1921. It deals with the violent expulsion of around 30,000 Protestant Christians from their home, the Catholic Zillertal , in 1837.

Edition

The sold circulation was 8,261 copies in the third quarter of 2017.
