Baden country calendar
The Badische Landkalender was a folk calendar published by the Illustrious Gymnasium in Karlsruhe from 1750 to 1806 for the Lutheran subjects of the margrave of Baden.
When sales of the calendar stalled, in 1802 the theologian and poet Johann Peter Hebel (1760–1826) was asked by his patron, the President of the Upper Church Authority Friedrich Brauer, to work on this calendar. From 1803 on, Hebel made numerous contributions to the Baden rural calendar and in 1806 prepared an unsolicited report for the consistory about a more advantageous arrangement of the calendar , in which he presented a closed popular educational reform concept that was supposed to replace the previously practiced mess of news. Lever's suggestion was accepted and he himself was appointed editor of the calendar, which appeared from 1807 to 1834 under the new name Der Rheinländische Hausfreund .
