Biography

German media mogul, journalist and publisher. After World War II, he was one of the first to receive a newpaper licence from the British administration in Hamburg, and started the Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper in 1946. In 1952, Springer started the publication of the tabloid Bild, becoming the daily newspaper for millions in Germany and an important influence on public opinion. He went on to launch and acquire a string of papers and magazines characterised by entertainment and conservative politics, Die Welt among others. His papers held a distinct pro-Israel point of view, whenever the subject came up. In the late 1960s, Springer was attacked by the radical-leftist student movement for the political opinion pushed forward via Bild and the other Springer media and became a goal of protest marches and direct actions.

The Axel Springer AG today is one of the major magazine, newspaper and online media companies in Europe with over 230 newspapers and magazines as well as more than 80 online offerings.

Springer's son Axel jr. was born on 7 February 1941, he became a photographer and photo journalist, working under the pseudonym Sven Simon. Sven Simon committed suicide on 3 January 1980 on a park bench in Hamburg.

Manfred Gregor writes that Springer consulted frequently with his astrologer, which probably was Hans Genuit, who also advised on the date for starting 'Bild'.

Axel Springer died in West Berlin on 22 September 1985 at age 73. His heiress was his fifth (and last) wife Friede Springer (born 1942).

Human Design Analysis: Axel Springer as Generator 5/1

Axel Springer is a Generator in Human Design – an energy type with a defined Sacral Center. Generators make up about 36% of humanity and possess an enormous, sustainable life force energy.

The Generator's strategy is to respond to impulses from life rather than initiating. When the Sacral Center responds with a clear "yes" (a gut feeling, an inner spark), that's the right path.

When Axel Springer lives in alignment with their design, they experience deep satisfaction and fulfillment. The Generator's not-self theme is frustration – a sign that the sacral energy isn't following the right things.

Axel Springer has Sacral Authority. The Sacral Center responds with a clear physical reaction – an "uh-huh" (yes) or "un-un" (no). This gut response is spontaneous, direct, and reliable. The key is responding to the right question or impulse.

Axel Springer carries the profile 5/1 – Heretic / Investigator. The 5th line represents the Hero and Savior: others project expectations and hopes onto this line, which can deliver practical solutions for universal problems. The 1st line represents the Investigator: a deep need for a solid foundation and thorough knowledge before feeling secure.

The incarnation cross "Left Angle Cross of Incarnation 1" describes the overarching life purpose and direction of Axel Springer in Human Design. It consists of the four gate activations of Sun and Earth (personality and design) and only becomes felt when one lives their strategy and authority.
