history

The local journalist and newspaper editor Heinrich Leher (1848–1909) founded the magazine “Das Bayerland” in 1889 , with the subtitle “Illustrierte Wochenschrift für Bayerns Volk und Land” . Leher belonged to the Catholic-Conservative camp, without being bound by party politics, and wanted to use his magazine to promote ties to the homeland of the Kingdom of Bavaria and its parts of the country. It mainly contained historical and regional articles, often with extensive illustrations. It also contained appreciations and obituaries of Bavarian personalities as well as fiction articles, mainly by Martin Greif , Max Haushofer Jr. , Hartwig Peetz , Otto von Schaching and Heinrich von Reder . The booklets could be purchased individually or in book form, as volumes with a splendid decorative binding.

During Leher's lifetime, the publication was published by Oldenbourg Verlag Munich for many years . After the founder's death, the illustrated magazine was continued and was finally published as a bi-monthly magazine by Bayerland's own publishing house. In the 1920s, Fridolin Solleder (1886–1972) was the publisher, from the early 1930s until she was discontinued due to the war in 1943, the Munich journalist Ludwig Deubner. Under him, from 1933, the magazine came more and more under Nazi influence. The art historian Georg Jakob Wolf (1882–1936) served as co-editor for a time .

After the Second World War, the renowned newspaper was re-established as a monthly in 1952. With the July 1990 edition, “Das Bayerland” stopped appearing.

The specialist articles published in Das Bayerland were mostly of high quality and are often cited as sources.
