History
The "Rundschau" published its first issue on 1 August 1945, shortly after the end of World War II. It was the first newspaper published in the US sector in occupied Germany and the second newspaper in post-war Germany. The licence was handed over to the first team of editors consisting of Emil Carlebach, Hans Etzkorn, Wilhelm Karl Gerst, Otto Grossmann, Wilhelm Knothe, Paul Rodemann and Arno Rudert, a progressive think-tank of social democrats, political Catholics and communists, who had spent years in the resistance and Nazi concentration camps or in exile. With the coming of the cold war, the American occupation authority forced all communist members of the editorial team to leave the paper two years later. In the first quarter of 2012, the newspaper boasted a circulation of around 120,000 copies.
