Those in charge, forerunners, book editions
Winfried Bartnick acted as editor . The magazine was founded by Richard Kähler and Hans Saalfeld , former Titanic editors. The two had published the satirical magazine Mark & Bein in Hamburg in the 1970s , which can be seen as a direct forerunner of Kowalski. It differed only in the more amateurish production method and correspondingly cheaper production, lower circulation, limited distribution - in terms of content, however, Mark & Bein was already pretty close to Kowalski and some contributions were also repeated in a pepped up and adapted form in Kowalski. The link between Mark & Bein and Kowalski was the KoLiBri section in the Titanic: Kähler / Saalfeld were only able to work on a few pages, but under professional conditions, until they had the opportunity to publish both (their own complete magazine such as Mark & Leg and professional working conditions as with the Titanic ). The result was Kowalski - "The only free paper in the West", so the subtitle. By Mark & Bein was titled "Tender is the tail of the muskrat" 1980 Zweitausendeins an anthology. KoLiBri even made three anthologies (Semmel-Verlach, Kiel 1985-86) and content from Kowalski was also used in book form, such as "There is more like tennis in the world!" (1991) and "Isn't that pfanni !? «(1993) two 'Best-of-Kowalski' albums, also in the Semmel-Verlach.
