Berlin architecture world
Die Berliner Architekturwelt was a trade journal with the sub-title Baukunst, Painting, Sculpture and Applied Arts of the Present , which appeared in Berlin between 1898 and 1919 , and was dedicated to the representation of Berlin buildings and the work of architects living there. The magazine was directed by the architects Heinrich Jassoy , Adolf Hartung , Ernst Spindler (until 1914), Bruno Möhring (until 1914) and Hans Schliepmann (sole publisher 1914 to 1919) with the assistance of the Association of Berlin Architects and was published by Ernst Wasmuth Verlag .
A year began with the April issue as issue 1 and ended with the March issue of the following calendar year as issue 12.
At the end of the First World War , in the course of the economic circumstances, the representative building activity in Berlin came to a standstill, so that the magazine was no longer economically viable. Due to the existing paper shortage, the publishing house was forced to reduce its program and, according to its own statements, decided to discontinue the Berlin architecture world in favor of Wasmuth's monthly magazine .
The magazine has historical value to this day. The richly illustrated editions provide detailed evidence of the heyday of Berlin architecture and contemporary handicrafts, and in particular document numerous buildings that were lost in the destruction of the Second World War .
