KiK (city magazine)
KiK ( Kultur in Karlsruhe ) was one of the first professionally designed city magazines in the Federal Republic of Germany. It appeared for the first time in 1980 and was initially sold weekly, later every fortnight in newsagents and not given out free of charge like later and today's city magazines.
In addition to a calendar of events, KiK mainly contained a very extensive illustrated editorial section in which current cultural and political events in the Middle Upper Rhine region and Karlsruhe were reported. In addition, short stories and cartoons by South German authors and illustrators were published regularly. KiK was initiated and published by Georg Fricker, the owner of the Karlsruhe arthouse cinema "Schauburg" at the time and later co-owner of the Karlsruhe multiplex cinema . In 1986, KiK discontinued its publication with the number 109.
