Time stage
The Zeitbühne was a German political monthly magazine with a right-wing conservative orientation, which appeared from 1972 to 1979 under the editorship of William S. Schlamm (from 1977 together with Otto von Habsburg ).
history
Schlamm had worked for the left-wing bourgeois magazine Die Weltbühne in the early 1930s , but had turned into a militant conservative and anti-communist in American exile. After he had left the Welt am Sonntag columnist and discussions with Axel Springer Verlag were unsuccessful, Schlamm founded the Zeitbühne with his own capital, which is based in Lahr / Black Forest and has an initial print run of 8,000. Although his own political stance had changed fundamentally since the pre-war period, Schlamm suggested continuity with the world stage through name, format and presentation. Already in the first edition in June 1972 he mentioned his “friend and colleague Kurt Tucholsky ” and shortly afterwards the “brave and indomitable Carl von Ossietzky ”.
For the Zeitbühne, mud shaped the style throughout its history and showed a tendency to "contradict, search for arguments, polarize and polemicize". Due to his non-conformist attitude and his disregard for what he called “group journalism”, Schlamm was unable to establish the Zeitbühne as a permanent forum for a larger group of conservative intellectuals. Such a platform formed at the same time in the magazine Criticón of Caspar von Schrenck- Notzing out. After Schlamm's death in 1978, the time stage went to Europa magazine the following year . Magazine for business, politics and culture .
Authors
Much of the contributions came from Schlamm himself, who had a reputation as an opinionated individualist and who as a publisher, editor, editor-in-chief and author exercised full control over the paper. Other authors of the Zeitbühne were Ernst Forsthoff , Walter Hoeres , Gerd-Klaus Kaltenbrunner , Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn , Winfried Martini , Hans Georg von Studnitz , Erich Thanner and Jürgen Todenhöfer .
