The journal Christliche Kunstblätter ( 1860 to 1970 ) was the information publication of the Linzer Diözesan-Kunstverein , founded in 1859 , which merged in 1971 with an evangelical art journal to form art and church . Two years after the Austrian magazine, the Christian Art Papers of the Archdiocese of Freiburg appeared for the first time in Germany in 1862 .

Creation and development of the magazine

The series of publications appeared since 1860 as an organ of the Christian Art Association of the Diocese of Linz , initially as a supplement to the Katholische Blätter with the name Blätter für Christian Kunst .

From November 18, 1865 the magazine was on the market as a separate publication every month. From 1886 to 1891 it was also the organ of the Cäcilienverein and published numerous musical articles and notes, some with printed music. The illustrated magazine first appeared in 1893, and the major octave form was introduced, which was used until World War II. From 1893 to 1901, the magazine also contained a supplement called The Practical Artist . From 1923 the magazine appeared quarterly, with issues 1–3, 4–6, 7–9 and 10–12 each being combined into one issue.

The printing took place at Huemer's widow and Danner, Linz, later at the printing house of the Catholic Press Association , Oberdonaudruck, Linz, from the end of 1940 at Jos. Feichtingers Erben , Linz, after the Second World War with the Upper Austrian State Publishing House , Linz.

For decades the main focus was on Gothic and Neo-Gothic and was therefore derisively called Gothomann . There were regular reports on the construction of the cathedral in Linz , with the current construction progress being shown in the cover picture from 1880 to 1889.

The publication of the magazine was interrupted from 1943 to 1946. Paper shortages were given as the reason for the discontinuation.

In 1971, the Christian Art Papers were merged with the German Protestant art magazine kunst und kirche , which resulted in the first ecumenical magazine in the German-speaking area.
