history
Five months after the founding of the Zentral-Dombau-Verein (Central Cathedral Building Association) , the first edition of the Domblatt was published as the official organ of the association at the suggestion of board member Joseph DuMont , owner of the DuMont Schauberg publishing house . With the documentation of the association's work as well as information about the work on the cathedral, its history and the architecture of the Middle Ages, the current high interest in the topic - through the further construction of the cathedral - should be kept alive and income generated.
From 1842 to the end of 1844 the Kölner Domblatt was published: official communications from the Central-Dombau-Verein as a weekly, free supplement in the Sunday edition of the Kölnische Zeitung . Additional subscription expenses were sold and the net profit distributed to the association. The publication by the publisher had been preceded by tough negotiations about the conditions. a. at the price of the extra subscription as well as exclusion clauses for club publications at DuMont's competitors.
The first edition also appeared with an edition of 5000 copies in French. However, the number of foreign subscribers continued to decline over the next few years.
Since 1845, at the instigation of the publisher, the paper has only appeared monthly for cost reasons, which halved the total volume, but simplified the editorial work. The scope was further reduced in the next few years and after the death of Joseph DuMont in 1861, from 1868 it only appeared every two months and from the 1870s until it was temporarily discontinued in 1892 at even greater intervals.
It was not until after the Second World War that there was a new start: The first edition appeared in July 1948 for the 700th anniversary of the cathedral under the title Der Kölner Dom. Commemorative publication of the Zentral-Dombau-Verein , the second in 1949 under The resurrected Cologne Cathedral . The editions from 1950 onwards are kept in the format that is valid to the present day and appear under the title Kölner Domblatt. Yearbook of the Central Cathedral Building Association. The early editions were published by JP Bachem , and since 1990 by Cologne Cathedral .
The 19th century editions have been fully digitized (2259 pages) as part of a DFG- funded project at Heidelberg University.
