Hermann Swoboda (magazine founder)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Swoboda (* 1946 ; † January 16, 2006 in Munich ) was a German co-founder and inventor of the name of the Munich homeless magazine BISS .

Swoboda, who had gone bankrupt as a businessman at a young age, wrote for BISS, sold the magazine himself and repeatedly excelled as a source of ideas. Despite the success of the magazine, he considered his idea of ​​educating a broad readership about the rights and problems of socially disadvantaged citizens increasingly unrealized. His personal impression that the magazine would reach buyers of begging instruments rather than readers led to the fact that later he only wrote the column "Filser" and later no more articles for Biss.

At the time of his death, BISS was the homeless magazine with the second highest circulation in Germany . Rudolph Moshammer also stood up for BISS , u. a. still posthumously by part of his inheritance. Herrmann Swoboda was buried in the Ostfriedhof in Munich.
