Abstract
The article examines the contribution by one of the most distinguished and enduring journals to appear in the immediate postwar period to the creation of a new Germany and a new German consciousness following the defeat of National Socialism. The journal’s Catholic stance, including its passionate advocacy on behalf of a federal, decentralised Germany within a united Europe, is placed in its larger historical and cultural context. With detailed reference to the first year of publication, the article attempts to establish the initial concerns of the journal’s editors in an occupied country and to give an assessment of their contribution to the re‐emergence of German political, intellectual, and cultural life after 1945.
