Inge Schneider (born 1944 in Thun, canton Bern) is a Swiss editor, author and publisher who, together with her husband Adolf Schneider, has been one of the principal organisers of the German-language new-energy scene. The two founded Jupiter-Verlag in 1987 and ITEC in 1998, and since December 1996 have jointly edited and published the NET-Journal, the main German-language periodical devoted to new energy technologies.
Her contribution to this field is editorial and organisational rather than theoretical. She is not a physicist and does not advance a theory of her own; what she has built is the infrastructure through which a large part of the German-language dissident literature circulates — a publishing house, a journal, a website and a conference series. That work is easy to overlook in a wiki organised around theories, and it is the reason her name appears throughout the German-language material collected here.
Biography
Inge Schneider was born in 1944 in Thun in the canton of Bern. After taking a commercial school certificate she trained on an editorial staff and worked as a proof-reader, then joined the staff of the Swiss magazine Schweizer Jugend and afterwards the press service Production.
Her early writing was not on physics. She wrote the booklet No More Silent Observation for the Swiss physicians' association against vivisection, and published the children's book Goldkater Leo (1975) and Countdown Apokalypse (1995) through Jupiter-Verlag. In 2000 she was co-author, with Adolf Schneider, of Energie aus dem All.
Publishing and organisation
The Schneiders' publishing work is the substance of their involvement in the field.
Jupiter-Verlag was founded in 1987 by Inge and Adolf Schneider in Zürich, and ITEC followed in 1998. Their periodical began as Jupiter-Info, a supplement to the Swiss Öko-Journal; when that magazine ceased publication early in 1996, the supplement was relaunched in December 1996 as an independent journal.
The NET-Journal takes its name from the abbreviation NET, for Neue Energie-Technologien (New Energy Technologies), which is also its programme: innovative approaches to the world energy problem, and the presentation of specific devices and inventions in that area. Alongside the two editors, the editorial staff and expert advisory board have included Dr Hermann Wild and Dr Hans Weber. The journal is published from Zürich.
The Schneiders have also hosted several new-energy conferences and maintain an alternative-science website at borderlands.de. Much of the German-language work documented on this wiki — including that of Konstantin Meyl — reached its audience through these channels.

Both of her recorded articles appeared in the NET-Journal and concern the work of Konstantin Meyl. Both survive as bibliographic records only; no abstract or full text is held.
