Television Radio

At the beginning of the 19th century, Bauer is one of the first companies ever to publish a free advertising paper in Germany: the Rothenburgsorter Zeitung. In the 1920s the Extrablatt am Montag (a special edition on Monday) is established, which later becomes a sports newspaper.

The weekly radio magazine Rundfunk-Kritik emerges at the end of the 1920s and quickly reaches a print run of more than half a million copies. With magazine titles that were stylistically influential in their respective segments and which swiftly became best-sellers – to the tune of several million copies –, the publishing house succeeds in breaking into the magazine market in Germany after the end of the Second World War.

In the 1950s and 1960s Bauer makes a name for itself with its programme and youth magazines.

The 1970s sees the formation of the women's weeklies’ segment with the magazines tina and bella.

In the 1980s and 1990s the portfolio is expanded to include shares in the private television broadcaster RTL II, the private radio station Radio Hamburg as well as – with the acquisition of the traditional daily paper Magdeburger Volksstimme – the largest daily newspaper in northern Saxony-Anhalt.
