At the end of 1986, after the death of his father, Hubert Burda took charge of the publishing house, which at that time published 15 magazines, and a printing house. Hubert Burda laid the main milestones in the development of the German media landscape: the socio-political magazine Focus, the women's weekly Lisa and publications under his brand, the star magazine Bunte.
