history
The magazine was founded in the GDR in 1953 as an organ of the Ministry of Higher Education and Technical Schools and was published by the Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften . It provided objective information about higher education in the GDR and in the socialist states, which made it interesting for Western university researchers and didactics as well. The editorial board was considered relatively independent. The first editor-in-chief was Gerhard Mehnert (1953 to 1959). The magazine appeared in an edition of about 2000 copies, of which about half were exported to the socialist states.
After the turnaround and the dissolution of the Ministry of Higher and Technical Education, the economic basis of the magazine, which had to stop its publication, was lost.
The Hermann Luchterhand Verlag acquired the rights. Together with the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Hochschuldidaktik (AHD), represented by the chairman Wolff-Dietrich Webler , the magazine was designed as a public magazine with free subscribers and at the same time as a membership magazine of the AHD, and a group of editors was appointed. After a publishing decision by Luchterhand Verlag, the magazine was discontinued on December 31, 2001 after ten years of publication.
On January 1, 2002, the rights to the magazine were transferred to the “UniversitätsVerlagWebler”, which was founded especially for this purpose. The magazine was separated from the AHD and appeared as an independent magazine from 2003, the 50th anniversary of its publication.
