Rheinisch-Bergischer calendar
The Rheinisch-Bergisch calendar , until 1960 Bergischer calendar , is the home yearbook for the Bergisches Land . The numerous articles in each issue deal with all facets of life in Bergisch. The focus is on the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis .
history
The first calendar was published in 1920 by the vocational school teacher August Kierspel . It was called the Bergischer Volkskalender . The pedagogue and local researcher Anton Jux took over the editorial management in 1925, which he held with interruptions until 1960. From 1926 the calendar was published by Heider-Verlag in Bergisch Gladbach . From 1933 to 1939 the publishing house Emil Pilgram in Hopesthal took over the edition. Because of the World War and the post-war period, ten years followed without a calendar.
In autumn 1949 the calendar for 1950 appeared again in Heider-Verlag, which was also the publisher. From 1955, the Rheinisch-Bergische Kreis took over the editing and editing functions for a few decades. The publisher has also been the publisher of the calendar again since 2004. The 2014 edition is counted as the 84th edition by the publisher. In doing so, he refers to the tradition since 1920 with an interruption of ten years.
During this period, the book series has seen some changes in the title:
- 1920 - Bergischer Volkskalender
- 1921 - Bergischer Calendar
- 1922 - the year was canceled
- 1925 - Bergischer Calendar. A yearbook for the Bergische Haus and the Bergische Schule.
- 1934 - Bergischer Heimatkalender
- 1937 - Yearbook of the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis
- 1950 - Bergischer Calendar. A homeland yearbook for town and country.
- 1960 - Rheinisch-Bergischer calendar. Homeland yearbook for the Rheinisch-Bergische Kreis.
- 1980 - Rheinisch-Bergischer calendar. Homeland yearbook for the Bergisches Land.
- 2007 - Rheinisch-Bergischer Calendar. Yearbook for the Bergisches Land.
The name changes show the changed attitudes of those responsible and the changed external circumstances. The subtitle was changed in 1980 because the area of the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis was greatly changed by the municipal reorganization on January 1st, 1975 ( Cologne Law ).
The appearance of the books was repeatedly adapted to the modern possibilities. The content is based on the wishes and needs of the addressed readership - all people who live in the Bergisches Land or are connected to it abroad.
Editing and authors
After Anton Jux had looked after the calendar for almost four decades, Ursula Schmidt-Goertz took over the editorial management for the following three decades after a transition period from 1971. From 2004 to February 28, 2015, Norbert Orthen was the editor. Karin Grunewald has been her successor since March 1, 2015.
There are also numerous long-term employees among the authors. One of the first authors was Albert Siebenmorgen , who from 1925 to 1969 repeatedly contributed with articles, photos, drawings and maps.
