Published by the Bauer Verlagsgruppe this weekly magazine was a staple of the era known for its blend of provocative photography and diverse editorial content aimed at a broad readership.

The bold red masthead frames a striking cover featuring a blonde model in a classic studio pose accompanying a lead feature that examines the cultural image and appeal of blondes in contemporary society. Extensive editorial variety defines this edition with articles spanning from an investigative report on sex doping and performance enhancing substances to a discussion on the evolving social perceptions and behaviors of modern women.

Readers are treated to a wide array of lifestyle topics including a travel guide offering sun soaked escapes for budget conscious travelers as well as a critical look at the risks and rewards within the world of bodybuilding. The inclusion of interactive elements like the sex bingo competition alongside vintage advertisements and contact markets offers a unique look at the social fabric and leisure interests of Germany during this period.

As a significant title in the history of German erotic journalism this issue captures the transition from the high circulation days of the seventies toward the more niche publishing landscape of the new millennium.
