Oxmox (spelling: OXMOX) is a Hamburg city magazine that has been published since 1977 .
Content
Oxmox mainly provides schedules for music and entertainment events in the Hamburg area. The magazine also provides event reports as well as film, concert, record and book reviews. It also includes a classified section for musicians, singles and other items.
Political and social engagement
For many years, Oxmox has supported music initiatives that take a stand against right-wing extremism , such as rock against right-wing or loud against Nazis . For several years there has been a cooperation with the Hamburg football club FC St. Pauli . It was expressed, among other things, in a special issue for the 100th anniversary of the club and a special for the season opener of the Bundesliga 2010/11 . In 2013, the magazine committed itself to the whereabouts of the so-called Lampedusa refugees , who have been living in Hamburg since March 2013, through reports and the support of relevant campaigns . The paper also positions itself in environmental debates. The magazine was one of the media that in 1984 repeatedly referred to the groundwater contamination with dioxin caused by the Boehringer Ingelheim company in Hamburg-Moorfleet . Reports on environmental issues are still part of the magazine today. The editorial team rejects fracking with reference to the dangers for drinking water .
Music funding
Oxmox has been promoting young bands with the help of the Hamburg band contest since 1985 . Around 200 musicians and bands apply each year. They come mainly from northern Germany, but also from the rest of Germany and other European countries. The finalists will meet in a selected Hamburg club. The decision about the victory is made by the audience and a jury made up of journalists, musicians and talent scouts. Participants were, among others, Gunslinger , 5th Avenue , Carsten Pape , Ian O'Brien-Docker with his then band Sils Maria and the Cucumber Men .
Edition
In November 2013, 36,480 copies were sold. Since the fourth quarter of 2006, the title is no longer subject to the circulation review by the information community to determine the distribution of advertising media (IVW). The last number determined by IVW for circulation totaled 36,533 copies per month in quarter 3/2006.
Magazine family
The Oxmox family of magazines includes “Uni-Extra” (free student magazine), “Update” (free event schedule) as well as the gastronomy guides “Hamburg goes out!” And “Gastro guides”.

criticism
In the run-up to the Hamburg state elections in 2008 , the city magazine printed an advertisement for the right-wing extremist German People's Union (DVU). Editor-in-chief Klaus M. Schulz regretted this “one-off mistake”, and the election advertising had been removed from all still available copies. For its part, the DVU criticized the removal of the advertisement as a threat to freedom of the press .
Trivia
In Svende Merian's novel The Death of the Fairytale Prince , the protagonist gets to know her partner through an Oxmox personal ad .
