history

The Exchange Association of German Booksellers in Leipzig founded the Börsenblatt in 1834. From the year 1835 onwards, it became the property of the Börsenverein and was now labeled "Official Journal of the Börsenverein" on the title page. The printing was done by B. G. Teubner in Leipzig, on Augustusplatz , at the beginning of 1835 . The Börsenblatt initially appeared weekly, from 1867 daily. In 1945 the Börsenblatt was temporarily suspended.

In the western occupation zones it appeared from 1945 under the same title (or Börsenblatt for the German book trade ) with the addition "Frankfurter Ausgabe". In the Soviet zone of occupation , the Börsenblatt was published again at a weekly rhythm from 1946 onwards.

In 1990, both Börsenblätter were published in separate editions for the last time (Leipzig: 157th year). Since the unification of the two stock exchange associations on January 1, 1991, only one stock exchange paper has appeared a week. The Leipzig year census was adopted.

In April 2020 the Saxon State Library - Dresden State and University Library made the volumes 1834 to 1945 available as full text free of charge.

Prices

In 1977, the Börsenblatt founded the Alfred Kerr Prize for literary criticism , which is awarded annually.
