Preßburgisches Wochenblatt
The Preßburg weekly paper for the expansion of the arts and sciences was founded in 1771 in Preßburg by Karl Gottlieb von Windisch . It was published weekly for a period of three years.
Work genesis
After the weeklies The Friend of Virtue and The Sensible Time Dispenser , this was the third supplement to the Pressburger Zeitung designed by Windisch . Although the paper is called a moral weekly , it does not correspond to this type. Windisch almost exclusively took up articles on scientific and economic topics, which he took from the "Gazette litteraire de Berlin", the "Memoires de l'Academie des Sciences" and the "Universal Magazine". The number of moralizing contributions is small. Windisch was also politically involved in this paper: in the stories "Lysimachus" (3rd vol., Item 4) and "Beyspiel strict justice" (3rd vol., Item 13) he emphasized the need for enlightened monarchs to participate in the To have head of state. Stories and anecdotes loosened the scientific character of the magazine. In 1773 Windisch left the editorial office of the Preßburger Zeitung and closed the Preßburgisches Wochenblatt .
