Home register of the district of St. Wendel
The home book of the district of St. Wendel (until 1961/62: home book of the district of St. Wendel), which has been published by the district administration of St. Wendel since 1948, sees itself - so the subtitle since 1950 - as a folk book for local history , Nature conservation and preservation of monuments (previously: for local historical research, folklore, art, literature, cultural studies, cultural protection and preservation of monuments, statistics and popular humor ).
The first editor was the then district administrator , member of the Saarland state parliament and later Minister Paul Schütz , who gave the first volume an emphatic , homeland-transfigured foreword. The later Minister-President of the Saarland , Werner Zeyer , who was District Administrator of the St. Wendel district from 1961 to 1972, is also among the editors .
An annual volume was published in 1948, 1949 and 1950. Since 1951/52 the Heimatbuch has been published mostly in two-year, but more recently also in three or four years.
In the early years, drawings by Mia Münster contributed to the graphic design .
