Magazines from the past

They belong to the media cultural history of the last millennium in Germany like television and radio: magazines. For decades, the most successful titles achieved circulations in the millions. In particular, TV magazines and the colorful magazines with their topics from all over the world found a home in millions of households week after week from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Even magazines with a more focused target group managed to find several hundred thousand buyers weekly, fortnightly or monthly. These include magazines for youth culture (like Bravo), for pure music culture (like Sounds) and various special magazines for hobbies and leisure. In the 1980s, the Zeitgeist magazines (Tempo, Wiener & Twen), which were popular at the time, also recorded great demand at kiosks.

For many decades, the numerous magazines aimed at the female target group have been extremely successful. While the women's magazines initially focused on current patterns, over time they primarily focused on health topics and career tips. For a long time, men were offered a large selection of men's magazines. A few of these magazines (indestructible: Playboy) have survived to this day. The vast majority of them have had to give up, which makes them all the more interesting for collectors and print nostalgics.

In our Kulturpapier online shop we offer a variety of the best-known and most popular old magazines from the last 60 years. It is our personal concern to pay strict attention to the excellent condition when selecting the magazines offered for purchase. Our Kulturpapier shop definitely does not offer incomplete, heavily worn or smeared books. We carefully check each individual magazine in advance. The rating, including a manually created overview of the content of each issue, can be found on the respective product page.

The items in our shop usually come from well-maintained private collections or directly from former publishers or sales companies. This enables us to offer a consistent, high quality of used, old magazines.
