history
The magazine was founded in the late autumn of 1932 by the publisher August Thiele, the journalist Rudolf Kiepke and the clergyman Johannes Hatzfeld in Paderborn. The first issue appeared the following year. Heinrich Schauerte , Alois Fuchs , art historian and director of the Archbishop's Diocesan Museum Paderborn , Christoph Völker, archdiocese archivist and Hermann-Joseph Wurm , who had been director of the Association for the History and Archeology of Westphalia, Dept. Paderborn , were recruited as employees . The focus of the magazine was prehistory and early history, history, nature, art and traffic in south-eastern Westphalia. Literary and dialect articles appeared in a supplement from 1935.
The name of the magazine was chosen based on the name for medieval defense towers that can still be found in the Paderborn region today and was figuratively intended as a spiritual defense tower. The magazine was initially spared from Nazi influence. It was not until 1936 that this influence became obvious through individual contributions. This development preceded a change in the editorial board.
In 1942 the publication of the magazine was stopped due to the war. In the last months of the war the publishing house was badly damaged and the editorial and picture archive was completely destroyed. The next issues could appear five years after the end of the war, with the orientation of the magazine again being based on the founding program and aiming to make a contribution to overcoming the National Socialist era .
In the post-war period Georg Servais became co-editor. Additional employees such as Karl Auffenberg, Josef Wilhelmi, Hans von Geisau , Hermann Nolte, Heinrich Neuheuser, Karl Schoppe, Wilhelm Vaupel and Paul Graebner were recruited. In 1973, on the initiative of Josef Schmitz, the magazine was modernized and the editorial team reorganized. He interpreted the name Die Warte as a tower-like observation post and a spying station. According to Schmitz, the magazine sees itself as a mediator for the culture, landscape and economy of the Paderborn and Corveyer Land and is intended to describe its current situation, its future development and the entire history of the Büren, Höxter, Paderborn and Warburg districts .
More recently, authors such as Wilhelm Kuhne , Paul Gülle, Josef Hagemann, Günter Deppe and renowned specialists such as the archaeologists Klaus Günther, Wilhelm Winkelmann , the historians Heinrich Schoppmeyer , Hans-Joachim Behr, Karl-Heinz Spieß and the Germanists Walter Gödden and Dieter Sudhoff wrote articles for the magazine.
