Surname
The magazine is named after the seven star , the symbolic plant of the Fichtelgebirge .
history
From the founding of the Fichtelgebirgsverein in 1888 to 1921, the association did not have a club magazine. When the number of members rose sharply after the First World War, the club's management needed a medium to communicate with members. From 1921 to 1926 there was a temporary arrangement. The publisher and local group chairman of Schwarzenbach an der Saale , Weigand, founded the local newspaper Das Fichtelgebirg in 1921 , and the Fichtelgebirgsverein declared it an organ of the association. During the inflationary period , the local groups had to collect waste paper so that the magazine could appear.
In the mid-1920s, the club was looking for a more cost-effective solution for a club magazine. The Carl Gießel publishing house in Bayreuth took over the printing of the monthly self- published magazine of the FGV under the name Der Siebenstern from January 1, 1927 .
In the first years of World War II , editor Paul Held edited the magazine from the field. In 1943 the publication had to be discontinued “for economic reasons of the war”.
After approval by the occupying forces, the first post-war edition of the Seven Star appeared in May 1949 after a six-year break. To save money, the previous monthly publication was changed to six issues a year.
As of January 1, 2013, the club magazine was given a new A4 format, the name was changed from Der Siebenstern to SIEBENSTERN.
tasks
The seven-star serves as a link between the 55 local groups and the 18,000 members. It should help with the local and folkloric development of the Fichtelgebirge area. Nature and environmental protection issues as well as hiking with corresponding suggestions are in the foreground of the publications. Youth work is also presented in the FGV.
In addition, the magazine includes messages from the main association on goals, priorities of the association's work and association projects, as well as reports on the association's life in the local groups. A media corner indicates new literature, sound carriers and websites.
