Life

Helfried Schreiter was initially an NVA officer and later became a successful crime writer in the GDR . In 1987, during a stay in the Federal Republic of Germany, he criticized Erich Honecker's policies in an open letter and took sides with Mikhail Gorbachev's political reforms . Thereupon he did not return to the GDR and became editor of the political magazine Stern . Together with the then governing mayor of West Berlin , Walter Momper , Schreiter documented the fall of the Berlin Wall at the end of 1989 in the photo report “Four Days in November”.

Schreiter then returned to East Germany, published several magazines and in 1990 the weekly newspaper Das Blatt and founded the book publisher Edition Fischerinsel . All of his projects - best known for the tabloid " Super-Ossi ", of which he was the publisher and editor-in-chief - failed after a short time.
