history

Didaskalia. Leaves for Mind, Mind and Publicity was founded in 1823 by Johann Ludwig Heller. For a long time it was a fiction supplement to the Frankfurter Journal , one of the oldest German newspapers that belonged to the national-liberal spectrum. Didaskalia contained stories, poems, travelogues and notes from politics and economy. Other topics included theater reviews and news from the church, concert hall and publishing. The magazine is, among other things, an important source for the events around the revolutionary year 1848. The first editor was Johann Ludwig Heller at the instigation of Johann Konrad Friederich , followed from 1847 by J. A. Hammeran. After the Frankfurter Journal was discontinued in 1903, Didaskalia continued to be published as an independent journal at irregular intervals until 1930.
