Berlin evening papers
The Berliner Abendblätter were a Berlin daily newspaper that existed from October 1, 1810 to March 30, 1811. It was published by Julius Eduard Hitzig and edited by Heinrich von Kleist . The paper didn't appear on Sunday. The size of the circulation is not known, it was probably less than a thousand, it cost 8 pfennigs in individual sales.
The newspaper appeared from October 1, 1810 every day except Sundays and contained four pages each. In addition to local reports and stories, the content consisted of reviews, contributions to discussions and, in 1810, excerpts from daily reports by the Berlin police chief. Issues 25 and 26 include a. also discussions under the title aeronautics . Contributions were also made by Achim von Arnim , Clemens Brentano , Wilhelm Grimm , Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué , Adam Müller and Friedrich Schleiermacher , which, however, were processed by Kleist, which led to disputes among those involved. The first issue contained a correspondent's report by Karl August Varnhagen von Ense in Paris .
In 1810, Hitzig stopped publishing for financial and political reasons. Kleist did not succeed in establishing his newspaper as a quasi-official organ as planned. There were also disputes with employees and increased state censorship .
On March 30, 1811, the last edition contained a brief remark by Kleist about the end of the newspaper.
Several of Kleist's literary texts appeared for the first time in the Berliner Abendblatt, such as the anecdote from the last Prussian war , The Begging Woman of Locarno, and the essay On the Marionette Theater .
