History and profile
Kultur im Heim was started in 1956.[1][2] The magazine was published by Verlag die Wirtschaft in East Berlin.[3] Target audience of the magazine was women.[4] The magazine functioned as a mediator between the professional design community and East German consumers.[5]
Kultur im Heim provided its readers with several suggestions about home design and leisure activities.[2][6] It also featured articles on the new designs of the East German furniture industry and on the modern and functional prefabricated furniture.[7] All articles published in the magazine were based on the findings of the studies by social scientists, philosophers and designers about the relationship between socialism, aesthetics and taste.[5]
The magazine folded in 1989.[7]
