The German Literature Newspaper for Criticism of International Science was a review magazine, which from the beginning pursued the goal of documenting their scientific importance through the selection of the works discussed and their rank through critical evaluations of these works.

history

The magazine was founded in 1880 by Max Roediger (1850-1918) and published from 1886 by August Wilhelm Fresenius (1850-1924). It achieved international importance under the direction of Paul Hinneberg (1862–1934), who has managed it as his private company since 1892, but since 1923 as a joint venture of the scientific academies in Berlin, Göttingen, Heidelberg, Leipzig, Munich and Vienna under the direction of the Royal Headed the Prussian Academy of Sciences and published it in the publishing house of the Weidmannsche Buchhandlung in Berlin. In addition to overviews of personal details and academy publications, compilations and collective presentations on individual subject areas were published. In this, the Deutsche Literaturzeitung also had the decisive merit of providing a kind of organization of the sciences, which was soon copied abroad and, since 1947, by the Erasmus department. Speculum scientiarium. International Bulletin of contemporary Scholarship .

These discussion organs continue the line of the literary newspapers founded in Frankfurt, Jena, Halle and Göttingen in the 18th century, of which only the monthly Göttingische learned advertisements appeared , each with a few, but very detailed, critical reviews and which still exist today. The traditional and respected German literary newspaper , which was continued and published on behalf of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR after the Second World War , ceased its publication in 1993 after 124 years.
