history
The Adelsblatt was initially published by Carl Heymanns Verlag in Berlin , from January 1922 by the Wirtschaftsbund für den Deutschen Adel GmbH and from July 11, 1923 by the newly founded Verlag Deutsches Adelsblatt Graf Wilhelm v. Schlieffen in Berlin. The edition of the Adelsblatt totaled 14,500 copies in 1930, then dropped to 10,000 by 1935. In 1944, the Adelsblatt fell victim to the last of the three major waves of war-related shutdowns of German newspapers and magazines and ceased publication.
In 1945, with the flight and expulsion and the violent death of around 10,000 members of the German aristocracy, the activities of the German Aristocracy Association also ceased. In this situation Jürgen von Flotow and Hans Friedrich von Ehrenkrook founded the German Aristocratic Archives at Wrisbergholzen Castle , Ehrenkrook's residence at the time . As early as October 1945 they brought out Refugee List No. 1, the purpose of which was to bring together the aristocratic families expelled from the East. In June 1948 the last of the editions appeared under this title, in which not only new addresses, but also engagements, marriages, births and deaths were published.
From August 1948 on, the first issue appeared under the name Deutsches Adelsarchiv . In 1961 the old name Deutsches Adelsblatt was taken over by the heirs of the Schlieffen publishing house. After the heirs of the late Hans Friedrich von Ehrenkrook left , the Verlag Deutsches Adelsblatt GmbH was founded. After the death of her mother Amélie von Flotow, Christina von Flotow is the managing director of this GmbH and publisher of the Adelsblatt. Since 2011, the German Adelsblatt has been appearing in a new, modern design.
Within the still as a stand -understand German nobility, whose privileges were abolished constitutionally in 1919, the German Adelsblatt the leading opinion-forming periodical, among other legal issues ( right to a name , coat of arms right , inheritance ).
The family advertisements , which provide information about births, weddings and deaths in noble families, are particularly popular .
