First edited by founder Rolf Putziger in Hamburg, this early post-World War II gay journal began in 1951 as Die Insel: Monatsblätter für Freundschaft und Toleranz, but was later renamed Der Weg zu Freundschaft und Toleranz (The Path to Friendship and Tolerance). In addition to its photos of male physique, the magazine featured discussions especially of relevance to gay men, including the decriminalization of homosexuality (removal of the law §175), as well as political news.
