Information on the requirements in accordance with the end caps. Pages: dictionary part only. Keywords: counted by sampling five pages each of the letters D, H and K. For the 23rd edition, the publisher gives “13,000 words”, for the 24th “more than 13,000 words” and for the 25th edition “a total of approx. 13,000 words ”. The difference to the counted value comes from the joint discussion of related terms, which are considered individual keywords.

history

From the 10th edition in 1924 to the 12th / 13th edition. The 1943 edition was the dedication on the flyleaf: To the German people his German dictionary.

In the 1980s, criticism of the dictionary's condition at that time grew. It was said that it was not being maintained intensively enough and that it was partly out of date. The 21st edition (from 1975) remained unchanged compared to the previous edition. As a result of this criticism, Elmar Seebold became the new editor of the dictionary.
