In April 1945, he was founder and chief editor of the Münchner Stadtanzeiger. Ackermann was member of the Senate of Bavaria from 1950 to 1955.

gollark: I want to be able to display a "created" and "updated" bit on pages.
gollark: Yes, as I said I thought of that, but it makes some queries slower.
gollark: I did think of the idea of *only* having `revisions` and just running weird queries on that, but it involves more problems.
gollark: Also, the latest update to something doesn't show on the user-visible revisions page, which is a minor nitpick but I mildly dislike it.
gollark: This isn't really ideal, as I think I'm duplicating data a bit (timestamps), updating a page involves more work, and more importantly the `revisions` thing doesn't have any relevant information beyond what's available from `pages`.
