Neue Werbung (German: New Advertising) was an East German trade magazine specializing on advertising. Originally subtitled Fachzeitschrift für Werbung, Gebrauchsgrafik und Dekoration, the magazine was published between 1954 and 1991.[1] Its headquarters was in East Berlin.

History and profile

Neue Werbung was established in 1954.[2] The first issue was published in April 1954.[3] The magazine was published by Die Wirtschaft on a monthly basis in East Berlin.[1][2] It was the official magazine of East Germany targeting advertising professionals.[4] Each cover of the magazine was developed by East German designers.[3] It featured thematic articles for the first ten years such as trademarks, industrial design, currency designs, and catalogue shopping.[3] The magazine covered retailing activities in the country.[5]
