Jugend und Technik (German: Youth and Technology), also stylized as Jugend + Technik, was an East German popular science and technology magazine targeting youth. Its subtitle was das faszinierende Technikmagazin (German: the fascinating technology magazine).[1] The magazine appeared between 1953 and 1991 and was headquartered in East Berlin.
Jugend und Technik was started in 1951, and its first issue was published in February that year.[2] It was based in East Berlin[3] and came out monthly.[4] Its publisher was the Junge Welt Verlag.[5]
From its start in 1953 Jugend und Technik published science fiction material one of which was the German translation of Ivan Yefremov's Tumannost’ Andromedy (Russian: Andromeda).[6] This work was originally published in the Soviet Union in 1957, and its censored German version was serialized in Jugend und Technik in 1958.[6] The magazine featured articles in German and Russian during the 1960s.[5] A conference on science fiction was organized by the editors of Jugend und Technik in 1966.[7] It carried out a survey to identify the gender of the readers of science fiction in 1969 and found that they were male high school and university students and older intellectuals working in science- and technology-related fields.[6]
Earliest articles on computer technology were published in Jugend und Technik which continued to feature them until the 1980s when computer magazines began to appear in East Germany.[8] The magazine offered ways to construct home computers through the DIY practices in 1987.[8] Another frequent theme covered by the magazine was space-related topics.[9]
Jugend und Technik folded in 1991.[1]
