New Greifswald museum booklets

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Edition Neue Greifswalder Museumhefte was a series of publications by the Museum of the City of Greifswald . It was founded by Alexander Schott, then museum director, and Lutz Mohr , deputy, in 1976. As part of the museum's public relations work, a total of 14 issues were published between 1977 and 1986, issue No. 1 (1977) in two editions.

Goal and concept

The aim of the publications was to familiarize the citizens and guests of the University and Hanseatic City of Greifswald and the surrounding area with topics of local history from the beginnings in primitive society to the socialist present, the work of local artists, as well as the architecture and customs of the territory in a popular and understandable way close. The issues met with a good and supra-regional response. They were sold through the Greifswald Museum as well as the museum facilities in the coastal district of Rostock and the Greifswald bookstore.

From a conceptual point of view, there was a lively collaboration between the museum management and the Greifswald city archive (director: Rudolf Biederstedt ); Greifswald State Archives (Director: Johannes Kornow) and the History Studies (Director: Konrad Fritze ) and German, Art and Music Studies (Director: Wolfgang Spiewok) of the Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald . The Museum of the City of Greifswald, under his leadership at the time, was also co-editor of the Greifswald-Stralsunder Jahrbuch , a regional historical edition , so that thematic overlaps between the contributions in both series of publications were virtually impossible.

Profile and special features

All booklets came with a colored cover and on art paper . Except for the first two issues in square form (1977), the other twelve were published in A5 format and between 31 and 98 pages in length. VEB Ostseedruck Rostock, Greifswald division, was responsible for typesetting and printing. The price per publication varied between 2.50 and 4.50 GDR marks . The museum series was funded by both the Culture Department of the Greifswald City Council and the Culture Department of the Rostock District Council. The circulation of the Greifswald museum books was an average of 2000 copies. Due to economic bottlenecks, no corresponding publication could appear after 1986. After changing the management of the museum (1980), Ursula Taube and Fritz Lewandowski, both from Greifswald, took over the editing of the last issues (No. 12 and 13). The museum of the city of Greifswald, which has existed since 1929 in the so-called Guardiansbau of the former Franciscan monastery in Greifswald, and its garden were integrated into the large complex of the Pomeranian State Museum , which was newly built in 1996, in the years after the fall of the Wall (1990) .
