Die Giesserei-Praxis is one of the oldest foundry magazines in Germany. It is not tied to an association and is therefore independent in its reporting. The distribution of the magazine includes the foundries themselves, the companies in the supplier industry as well as universities and research institutes in the sector throughout Germany. The print edition is distributed internationally, particularly in Austria and Switzerland as well as in the Eastern European countries. In terms of content, the foundry practice covers areas such as user reports, company profiles, research and development, management, environmental protection and industry news. Druckguss appears regularly as a special supplement .
history
The Eisenzeitung was founded in 1879 as a specialist journal for the iron, steel, metal, haberdashery, machine and tool trade, and published in a publishing house in Berlin-Friedenau under the direction of Wilhelm Kirchner. As early as 1900, the journal was so well established that Otto Elsner Verlag, named after its founder, took over the magazine and expanded its technical division with it. Here the Eisenzeitung was subject to a fundamental revision over the years and was renamed several times. Under the name Eisen-Zeitung. The journal was first brought into connection with the foundry industry as the central organ for the entire foundry industry. The new title magazine for the entire foundry practice in 1918 further strengthened the focus on recipients from the foundry industry. In 1935 the magazine appeared for the first time under its current name: Giesserei-Praxis .
During National Socialism, the magazine published by the Association of German Foundry Experts was subordinated to the Nazi Association of German Technology . The foundry practice survived the war years relatively unscathed thanks to a cooperation with the competitor journal Giesserei . With the occupation of Germany and the ban on all German media, the foundry practice was also discontinued for the time being. The American military government required the 'approval of the publication of a trade journal' so that the publishing house Schiele & Schön could start its work in 1948. Just two years later, after a long battle over the right to publish, the company began publishing Die Giesserei-Praktikers . Arthur Schulze was the new editor-in-chief of the magazine. The change of publisher resulted from a content reorientation and the subsequent move of Otto Elsner Verlag to Darmstadt . All rights to the foundry practice were transferred to the specialist publisher Schiele & Schön in 1952 for approx. 30,000 DM in order to avoid a legal dispute. Due to the objections of the foundry (the former partner from war days) that the claim printed on the title page of the foundry practice that it was the "oldest foundry magazine" could not be understood, from 1956 onwards the year was not named. Only since 2006 has the Giesserei-Praxis been given a consistent year name again, which is based on the first post-war issue as the year the magazine was founded.
Content
The foundry practice focuses in each issue a major special theme, such as the surface treatment , the material testing or the occupational health and safety in foundries . Another focus is on the general report on current innovations in the foundry industry, which is taken into account under the heading 'Magazine'. The Giesserei-Praxis appears as a special trade fair edition suitable for congress or trade fair dates. The techniques and processes presented at the German Foundry Day, ALUMINUM, GIFA or EuroMold , among others, are presented and explained.
Circulation and distribution
The circulation figures of the foundry practice are primarily based on the trade fair and congress calendar of the foundry industry. A reliable and constant number of sales cannot therefore be determined for this magazine. In terms of content, the paper is geared towards ensuring that it is received primarily by leading decision-makers in foundries. In addition to Germany , Die Giesserei-Praxis is published in the German-speaking countries of Austria and Switzerland as well as in the Eastern European countries . In other foreign countries, it is available on the Internet , where all contributions are available.
