History and profile
Die Ganze Woche was launched by Kurt Falk in Vienna in 1985. He also founded the daily Täglich Alles. The magazine is published on a weekly basis. The publisher and owner of the magazine is Die Ganze Woche GmbH. Senta Ziegler was the editor-in-chief of the weekly until 1993.

Die Ganze Woche concentrates on entertainment news. On the other hand, the magazine also deals with significant political events. For instance, it opposed to the EU membership of Austria.
