Life

Heinz Ullstein, grandson of the publisher's founder Leopold Ullstein and son of Louis-Ferdinand Ullstein , was enthusiastic about the theater and played small roles on Berlin stages, a. a. at the Deutsches Theater under Max Reinhardt . In the Romanisches Café he met his future wife Aenne (1893-1969). They moved to Heidelberg, where they took their first steps into the new world of film together. In 1925 he joined the family's Ullstein Verlag . In 1929 he moved up to the supervisory board of Ullstein Aktiengesellschaft . After the company was Aryanized in 1934, he was the only one of the family to stay in Berlin. The Nuremberg Race Laws declared the baptized Christian to be a Jew; he was only tolerably protected through his marriage to his “German-blooded” wife. Heinz Ullstein was imprisoned in Rosenstrasse in February 1943. His wife took part in the Rosenstrasse protests to prevent the threatened deportation of their Jewish spouses. In the last two years of the war he was used for forced labor .

After the war, Ullstein, together with Helmut Kindler and Ruth Andreas-Friedrich, received the license for the women's magazine “she” from the Allies. In 1953 he became the publishing director of the re-established Ullstein AG. At the end of 1959, the takeover by Axel Springer , which he advocated, took place and he remained active in the management. 1970 to 1971 he sat on the supervisory board of the newly founded Axel Springer AG .

The “Aenne and Heinz Ullstein Fund” for actors and journalists in need, donated from the estate, is administered by the Springer Foundation . The couple found their final resting place in the Berlin forest cemetery in Dahlem (Dept. 20 B 7 and B 8).
