Wochenpost

[3] Its highest circulation was around 1.2 million copies,[4] making the paper the most popular weekly in East Germany.

[6] The paper continued to be published after German reunification until it ceased publication in late December 1996.

"[10] It was co-founded by Margot Pfannstiel,[11] who also worked as chief reporter,[12] Heinz Knobloch, who took responsibility for "puzzles, mental recreation and humour" ("Rätsel, Denksport und Humor"),[13] and Hilde Eisler.

[16] Work on the Wochenpost quickly became a principal vehicle for Knobloch's professional success over more than three decades.

[10] After the German reunification, the paper was purchased by Gruner + Jahr and Robert Maxwell and relaunched in Berlin.
