The Leipziger Literaturzeitung was from 1800 to 1834 about their attitudes a literary magazine with various manifestations formats. In contrast to other review journals, the Leipziger Literaturzeitung remained firmly rooted in the hometown that gave it its name , where it was published by the traditional company Breitkopf & Härtel , which also included the in-house advertising expedition of the Leipziger Literaturzeitung .
With regard to its structure, it is conceptually as well as typographically based on the Allgemeine Literaturzeitung founded in Jena in 1785 and its offshoot, the Jenaer Allgemeine Literaturzeitung . Together with these two, the Leipziger Literaturzeitung plays a central role within the Central and Pan-German review system, i.e. the general intellectual exchange of the nation.
history
Originally published by Breitkopf & Härtel as the Leipzig Yearbook of the Latest Literature in Leipzig in 1800 , the journal was named Leipziger Literaturzeitung from 1802–1803 . Since the Leipziger Literaturzeitung, according to its foreword, was committed to highly objective criticism , the literary magazine Rhadamanthus was published in its context - a magazine for critics, anti-critics and their friends , which was to devote itself to the anti-criticism of the Leipzig literary newspaper on an interim basis .
The first main editor for founding the Leipzig Yearbook of the Latest Literature was Johann Georg Christian Höpfner (1765–1827), theologian, philologist and university professor in Leipzig. In the years 1803–1811 it was sold by the Leipzig publisher Johann Gottlob Beygang from then on as the Neue Leipziger Literaturzeitung , before it appeared again from 1812 to 1834 under the short name Leipziger Literaturzeitung by Breitkopf & Härtel . In parallel to the review in the Journal appeared expedition of Leipzig Literaturzeitung many additions as inserts, intelligence leaves and indicators of changing self-designations.
The two initiators of the Leipzig literary newspaper were the classical philologist, historian and rector of the University of Leipzig Christian Daniel Beck , who was also the editor until 1818, and the legal scholar and poet Christian Daniel Erhard , who was also rector of the university. The editor was subject to the editors' society by contract. In addition to Erhard and Beck, there were Ernst Friedrich Karl Rosenmüller , Karl Heinrich Ludwig Pölitz , Wilhelm Traugott Krug , Karl Brandan Mollweide , Johann Christian August Heinroth and Heinrich Wilhelm Brandes , from 1827 - all members of Leipzig University, as well as the incumbent city council, City judge and mayor Heinrich Blümner . In 1833 the editorial team moved to the Leipzig academics Moritz Wilhelm Drobisch , Gustav Theodor Fechner , Justus Wilhelm Martin Radius , Georg Benedict Winter and Wilhelm Wachsmuth .
As in the Allgemeine Literaturzeitung , the reviews in the Leipziger Literaturzeitung also appeared anonymously. Nevertheless, there are some signed or clearly identifiable articles. For example, a printed obituary by Goethe for the late Duchess Anna Amalia .
meaning
Based on the universal scientific zeitgeist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the Leipziger Literaturzeitung primarily focuses on the objective and critical review of national and international new publications. In addition, in the course of time, essayistic essays, some of their own, will appear that investigate current aspects of contemporary history. In this way, the Leipziger Literaturzeitung , along with its Central German role models, makes a significant contribution to the instrumentation of an enlightenment discourse in favor of intellectual exchange in the tradition of the utopian Klopstockian scholarly republic .
The importance for today's research lies primarily in the overview of publications and reviews in the review journal, which provides authentic insights into the learned intellectual life in Germany. In these, for example, the nationalism debate , the contemporary reception of Napoleon and the handling of historical anniversaries, such as the Reformation year 1817, can be observed and followed in their course. In addition, the history of the review magazines such as the Leipziger Literaturzeitung is at the same time a history of scientific professionalization and specialization, as well as the increasing separation of the scientific disciplines, from which the desire for a subject-specific internal exchange progressively formulated.
With its interdisciplinary orientation, the Leipziger Literaturzeitung, together with the Allgemeine Literaturzeitung and its offshoots, formed the climax of the universal scientific review history of the early 19th century, the zenith of which had been passed with the discontinuation of the Leipziger Literaturzeitung and the Allgemeine Literaturzeitung at the latest . Because in the course of the incipient disciplinary split, the universal review organs increasingly lost their relevance and scientific influence.
Nonetheless, the tradition of universal review organs such as the Leipziger Literaturzeitung and the Allgemeine Literaturzeitung continued to exist. Influential examples of this are the Deutsche Literaturzeitung (1880–1993) and the Göttingische Schehrten advertisements , which have been published regularly since 1739.
