Studentenkurier In 1955,
Klaus Rainer Röhl started the monthly
Studentenkurier ("Student Messenger"), which was published until 1957. Due to the contributions of many authors as ,
Peter Rühmkorf,
Arno Schmidt,
Kurt Hiller, it became a very influential magazine among students.
konkret On the basis of the success of the
Studentenkurier,
Konkret was founded by Röhl in 1957. Until 1964, it had clandestine ideological and financial relations with the
East German government. Innovative in its style, beautifully illustrated and printed on huge folio size heavy stock, its pages often ended up as posters on students' dorm walls and university campus fences. It had great influence on progressive intellectuals, both students and adults. In the high phase of the
German student movement of the 1960s, it appeared biweekly and sometimes even weekly. Articles in
konkret openly advocated sex with minors. One of the best known journalists on the magazine was
Ulrike Meinhof, the editor-in-chief from 1960. She ended her work for
konkret early in 1969 shortly before she joined the
Red Army Faction. On 7 May 1969, the house of
Konkret publisher
Klaus Rainer Röhl was stormed by activists including
konkret staff under Meinhof's leadership, its windows and furnishing destroyed. After a long conflict over the political orientation of
konkret, particularly over the use of violence which Röhl strongly rejected, Röhl left the magazine in 1973. Shortly after this, the magazine was dissolved. == Hermann L. Gremliza's
