n order to provide the members of his magazine subscription club with reading matter, Kurt Ganske started up a magazine publishing business in 1948 and launched the periodical "Film und Frau" (Film and Woman, now PETRA). Ganske also acquired a stake in the publishing company "Stimme der Frau" (Woman's Voice, now FÜR SIE) in Hanover, which relocated to Hamburg as JAHRESZEITEN VERLAG one year later. Since that time a number of popular magazines have been created or - after purchasing them - revamped by the publishing house.

Today, the magazine business of the publishing group, including distribution and advertisement, is consolidated in the JAHRESZEITEN VERLAG. With its 12 high quality magazines the company is one of the largest German publishers for popular journals. Its spheres of competence are women's magazines, with the flagship FÜR SIE as well as PETRA and VITAL; practical homemaking with ZUHAUSE WOHNEN and SELBER MACHEN; style-forming premium magazines such as DER FEINSCHMECKER, MERIAN, COUNTRY and ARCHITEKTUR & WOHNEN as well as the lifestyle magazines PRINZ and PRINZ TOP GUIDE for the young urban trend-setting elite of the metropolitan areas.
