Neue Berliner Illustrierte (German: New Berlin Illustrated; abbreviated as NBI) was a weekly illustrated magazine which existed between 1945 and 1991. It was published in East Germany and then in Germany following the German reunification. Its title was a reference to Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung which was an influential German publication at the beginning of the 20th century.[1]
History and profile
Neue Berliner Illustrierte was first published in Berlin in October 1945.[2] It was modeled on Arbeiter-Illustrierte-Zeitung.[1] Shortly after its start it began to enjoy higher levels of circulation in East Germany.[3] The magazine came out weekly and covered various topics, including politics, health-related issues, movies, novels and picture stories designed for children.[2] Another topic covered was the reasons of divorce in East Germany,[4] technological advances in the communist countries and socialist heroes.[5] All these topics were accompanied by photographs[1] and featured to influence the perspectives of the East Germans in line with the official ideology of the state.[3]
It was printed in grey papers until 1957 when it was redesigned as a color publication.[2] The magazine was renamed as NBI Neue Berliner Illustrierte in 1960.[2] Another magazine entitled Zeit im Bild was merged into the NBI in 1969.[2] The magazine had a circulation of 800,000 copies for three decades from the 1960s to the 1980s.[2][3] Following the German reunification it was acquired by the Gruner + Jahr publishing house and folded in October 1991.[2]
