General literary indicator
The Allgemeine Literäre Anzeiger was a magazine founded and published in Leipzig in 1796 , which dealt with questions of literary communication and contained messages of a bibliographic-literary nature. The full title of the magazine was
- The general literary gazette, or annals of all literature, for the quick publication of various news in the field of learning and art .
The magazine was founded by the 22-year-old law student and publisher and bookseller Johann Christian Friedrich Roch (* October 31, 1773; † 1801 or 1802) and initially published by Georg Voss. On February 22, 1799, he and a partner founded the Roch and Weigel publishing company , which was renamed Roch et Co on January 1, 1800 . Roch was reported missing on December 24, 1801 and "found in the water" at Großzschocher on February 11, 1802 . The circumstances of his death have never been clarified.
Although the publication enjoyed a high reputation, it had to cease publication with Roch's untimely death - in 1801, before his body was found. It had been a grant business from the start, on which Roch had put all of his fortune. That the magazine was highly valued can be seen from the fact that in 1811 - three years after its last publication - a general register was created, which is considered to be unique in the history of the journal industry. The complete register was initiated by Friedrich Nicolai , the editor was Johann Erich Biester .
From 1802 a successor organ was published with the literary sheets published in Nuremberg . The other stations of the magazine were the publishers Fleischmann in Munich and Cotta in Tübingen .
