According to the subtitle, the Mannus magazine was a “magazine for prehistory” (from volume 26, 1934, the subtitle was “magazine for German prehistory”). It was published by the völkisch archaeologist Gustaf Kossinna and the German Society for Prehistory (later: Society for German Prehistory, Reich Association for German Prehistory ), which he founded. The first volume appeared in 1909, the 34th volume for the time being in 1942. The place of publication was initially Würzburg, from volume 9 Leipzig. In addition to the 34 main volumes, eight supplementary volumes were published between 1910 and 1930.
The Greifswald historian Carl Engel , a member of the SS Ahnenerbe , later became co-editor . Mannus was one of the most important German archaeological journals of the time. Due to its content, which is based on Kossinna's views, it is still highly controversial today. Kossinna is considered to be a "pioneer of the National Socialist" propaganda archeology "". Not a few contributions are denied that they are scientific.
From 1969 to 1994 the right-wing extremist publisher Peter Wegener Mannus appeared again as a magazine of the Society for Prehistory and Protohistory, which was newly founded under the aegis of Bolko von Richthofen .
