After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the paper was bought by Gruner + Jahr and the British publisher Robert Maxwell. Gruner + Jahr later became sole owners and relaunched it in 1997 with a completely new design. The daily says its journalists come "from east and west", and it now styles itself as a "young, modern and dynamic" paper for the whole of Germany.
