Neue Gesellschaft/Frankfurter Hefte

Neue Gesellschaft/Frankfurter Hefte is a German monthly political journal (with two double issues in January and July).

It has existed in its present form since 1985, when the SPD-related journal Neue Gesellschaft, founded in 1954, took over the Frankfurter Hefte, which had been published since 1946 and were originally produced in the left Catholic milieu.

Neue Gesellschaft was a theory journal in the social democratic movement founded in 1954 after the defeat of the SPD in the elections in 1953.

[1][2] Today, the Neue Gesellschaft/Frankfurter Hefte, sees itself as a political cultural journal that aims to provide both a diagnosis of the times and future perspectives.

Thomas Meyer has been the editor of the Neue Gesellschaft/Frankfurter Hefte journal, since the death of Peter Glotz.
