from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Losecaat van Nouhuys (born December 14, 1929 - December 20, 2005 in Berlin ) was a Dutch publisher and journalist .

He was first known as the author of detective radio plays , which were produced from 1957 to 1959 in the series The Hunt for the Perpetrator of the North German Radio .

After working for Stern , among other things , Nouhuys was editor-in-chief until 1968, after the Quick illustrated magazine was taken over by Heinrich Bauer Verlag . Then he was the editorial director of Bauer Verlag and acquired the German license for the American men's magazine Playboy . In 1973 he was in the headlines when he was slandered by the competition magazine Stern as a double agent who also worked for the Ministry for State Security of the GDR . In 1976 he left Bauer Verlag.

Then he was the founder and publisher of NewMag Verlag in Munich . Together with Marianne Schmidt, he brought out the German licensed edition of the Parisian Playboy imitation Lui . With the motto "Breast out, brain in", he turned Lui into a large-format magazine for upscale consumption, the more subtle eroticism of which earned him praise in specialist circles, but also a decrease in circulation: in 1990 he returned the Lui license. From 1980 to 1991 he published the cultural magazine TransAtlantik 82 times .

After leaving TransAtlantik, Nouhuys went to Berlin and wrote for the tabloid Super! which was discontinued in July 1992.

In 1970 he was involved in the comedy television film Jumbo - Ein Elefantenleben as an author, as well as in the first two episodes of the comedy television series Klimbim in 1973. In the feature film King Kong's Faust (1985) he played the role of editor-in-chief.

Nouhuys was buried in the Wilmersdorf cemetery.
