History


The newspaper stemmed from the monthly review the ''Pazifist'', created in 1921. Both publications were administered by Fritz Küster. ''Das Andere Deutschland'' was the publication organ of the German Peace Society. During the Weimar Republic, Kurt Tucholsky, Erich Kästner, Heinrich Ströbel, Berthold Jacob, Carl Mertens and Friedrich William Foerster, among others, wrote for the newspaper.
The newspaper was shut down on March 11, 1933, less than two weeks after Paul von Hindenburg approved the Reichstag Fire Decree written by the Adolf Hitler government. Küster was arrested and held in concentration camps from 1933 to 1938.
At the end of World War II, Küster resumed publication of the paper. In 1969, three years after Küster's death, the newspaper ran its final issue.
