The magazine is known for its investigative journalism and is considered one of the most influential news magazines in Europe.
History[edit | edit source]
Der Spiegel was founded in 1947 by Rudolf Augstein, who was a journalist and publisher. The magazine was initially established in Hanover, but it moved to Hamburg in 1952. Augstein remained the editor-in-chief until his death in 2002. The magazine played a significant role in post-war Germany, often challenging the government and exposing scandals.
The Spiegel Affair[edit | edit source]
One of the most notable events in the magazine's history is the Spiegel Affair of 1962. The magazine published an article that criticized the West German defense forces, leading to a government raid on its offices and the arrest of several journalists, including Augstein. The incident sparked a national debate on press freedom and ultimately led to the resignation of the defense minister, Franz Josef Strauss.
