The Nürnberger Blätter was a magazine that was first established in Nuremberg in December 1830 by the publishing house of the booksellers Riegel, Wiesner and Schrag as a literary magazine from and for southern Germany and was marketed from 1831.

history

Originally there were three issues a week, each with four printed pages, containing reviews and comments on other pamphlets, but also discussions about social life.

In 1975 the bookseller and writer Gerhard Wagner self-published a bibliophile magazine under the same name, the literary fragments of Günter Grass , Ludwig Fels , Christoph Meckel and other greats of the literary business, requested in several hundred copies from connoisseurs in Nuremberg and the surrounding area the 1970s and 1980s.

In 1985 Reinhard Knodt bought the rights to the magazine and continued it as a "newspaper for literature and philosophy" with an initial circulation of 5000 copies (later increased to 10,000). The new Nürnberger Blätter quickly gained prestige and can be seen as the first attempt to combine “high art” with the format of a mass medium. Like a normal daily newspaper, the newspaper was produced in the printing house in Bayreuth using the web offset process and freely displayed in universities and communication locations. In addition to Reinhard Knodt, the authors of the new Nürnberger Blätter from 1985 onwards were, for example, co-editor Hans Martin Schoenherr-Mann, Wolfgang Welsch, FC Delius, Jochen Hörisch, Hans Christoph Buch, Gerburg Treusch-Dieter, Gerhard Falkner, Paul Schuster, the Berlin book artist and graphic artist Wolfgang Nieblich, Aras Ören, Michael Rutschky and many others. Reinhard Knodt occasionally invited people to discuss certain topics from art, architecture and politics. When the Nürnberger Blätter was discontinued in 1995, it was because the communication format of a newspaper was no longer considered to be up-to-date with the emerging Internet. The papers were replaced by the Nuremberg Authors' Talks, which were held as a congress meeting at prominent locations in and around Nuremberg until 2005. The last of these meetings took place in 2005, when Jewish authors from all over Europe and Israel met on the former Nuremberg convention site.
