The Kreuzer Medien GmbH
Kreuzer Medien GmbH is an independent medium-sized magazine publisher. As the main publication it publishes the cruiser every month - the Leipzig city magazine.
history
The cruiser was originally founded in 1991 as a cultural supplement to the DAZ (Die Leipziger Other Zeitung) . The DAZ tried an alternative after the fall of 1989/1990 weekly for Leipziger Volkszeitung to establish. After a year or so, the project was discontinued and the original cultural supplement developed into a city magazine that is now published by Kreuzer Medien GmbH.
Artists help the cruiser
In 2007, the Kreuzer-Verlag published an art portfolio of six renowned Leipzig artists (Hans Aichinger, Tilo Baumgärtel , Matthias Hoch , Aris Kalaizis , David Schnell , Christoph Ruckhäberle ) under the motto Artists help the kreuzer . The proceeds went entirely to Kreuzer-Verlag.
