Stadtebau (from 1925 only: Städtebau ) was the first German-language magazine to focus exclusively on urban planning . It was founded in 1904 by Camillo Sitte and Theodor Goecke .

history

The initiative to found the first German-language town planning magazine went back to Camillo Sitte, who for strategic reasons won Theodor Goecke as co-editor, who, like himself, was an architect and town planner, but also a Prussian building officer and university professor. For the same motivation, in order to achieve a wide distribution in the German-speaking area, Sitte, as an Austrian, deliberately chose Berlin as the publishing location. Sitte died shortly before the first issue appeared, but had still largely determined the program of the magazine. According to the subtitle "Monthly for the artistic design of cities according to their economic, health and social principles", a comprehensive holistic understanding of urban planning should be represented. The declared aim was "to create a collecting point for the individual work of all the specialists involved and at the same time an organ for the instruction and stimulation of all those involved." ] all residents of our cities. "

In the 1929 year, the journal Baupektiven , founded by the Austrian architect and town planner Karl Heinrich Brunner , was added to the town planning program . Just one year later, Der Städtebau for its part became a supplement to the magazine Wasmuth's monthly magazine for architecture and urban development, which had been expanded to include the title, and after a change of publisher in 1932, the monthly magazine for architecture and urban development, and was published in this form until 1939. The magazine was well-known from 1919 to 1923 Heinrich de Fries and from 1925 to 1932 Werner Hegemann .
