Axel Cäsar Springer (born May 2, 1912 in Altona/Hamburg, died September 22, 1985 in West-Berlin) was a German newspaper publisher as well as the founder and proprietor of what is today the Axel Springer SE holding. The extent of the media group’s influence and the way its power was used by Springer made him one of the most controversial figures of German post-war history.
