The Illustrirte Welt , from 1873 Illustrirte Welt , was a thoroughly illustrated family and entertainment magazine that appeared in Stuttgart from 1853 to 1902.

description

The magazine was founded in 1853 by the Stuttgart publisher Eduard Hallberger , who also took over the editing. It was published in 50 years from 1853 to 1902 and was published in Stuttgart by Eduard Hallberger, and from 1881 by the Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt . The magazine appeared weekly, from 1856 twice a month and from 1866 again weekly. In 1903 the Illustrirte Welt was merged with the magazine “Das Buch für Alle”, which had existed since 1866.

The magazine had the subtitle "Leaves from nature and life, science and art for entertainment and instruction for the family", from 1856 "Leaves from nature and life, science and art for entertainment and instruction for the family, for everyone and everyone". From 1878 at the latest, the magazine bore the overall title “Illustrirte Welt. German family book. Leaves from nature and life, science and art. "

Editor / editor was Eduard Hallberger until his death in 1880, then temporarily his brother Karl "Charles" Hallberger, from 1881 Hugo Rosenthal-Bonin, from 1890 Joseph Kürschner and from 1893 Wilhelm Wetter.

history

Following the example of the important combination of word and image cultivated in France and England and the Illustrirten Zeitung by Johann Jacob Weber , which has been published since 1843 , Eduard Hallberger brought out the magazine " Jugend-Album " in 1850 , which owed its success not least to the abundant illustrations. When he decided to publish a larger-style family magazine based on this model, he joined forces with two French xylographers who made a capital contribution and, above all, brought with them the necessary know-how to ensure that the magazine was well illustrated. The success of the magazine enabled Hallberger to replace his partners as soon as possible and to produce the necessary wood engravings in sufficient numbers in his own xylographic studio.

In 1862 the magazine reached 90,000 copies. The " Gartenlaube ", also founded in 1853, had a print run of 100,000 in 1861 and 382,000 in 1875. Based on the successful example of the Illustrated World, Hallberger founded the entertainment magazine " Über Land und Meer " in 1858 , which exceeded the success of the Illustrated World and appeared until 1923.
