1947—1948

Waldhornstrasse 18: Editorial Office of the weekly newspaper Neue Welt

Ernest Landau, a Viennese journalist liberated from one of the Death Marches near Tutzing on Lake Starnberg, founded what was then the only German-language Jewish weekly newspaper, the “Neue Welt. Eine Wochenschrift der befreiten Juden” (New World: A Weekly of the Liberated Jews) in fall 1947. With a circulation of around 4,000, the paper was aimed to be a news and information bulletin for Jewish communities in Bavaria. After just one year, the Neue Welt had to cease publication due to a lack of a German readership.
