Publisher Dr Hubert Burda once stated that "Berlin is the capital city of our imaginations”. That was as true in the 20th century as it is now at the start of the third millennium. And it goes without saying that in any meeting place of politicians, economists, artists and intellectuals, the media also flourish.

Hubert Burda Media publishes SUPER ILLU, the most popular sales newspaper of eastern Germany, from its premises in Berlin. And in April 2002 it added the consumer economy magazine GUTER RAT to its Berlin publishing portfolio.

With its Berlin based branch FOCUS offers the latest political news. Hubert Burda Media subsidiary STARnetONE, also based in Berlin, develops new journalistic entertainment formats for younger target groups.
