editor
The Radeberg City Council was the sole publisher of issues 1 and 2, and from issue 3 (November 1955) onwards, in cooperation with the Kulturbund for the Democratic Renewal of Germany , local group Radeberg. The printing took place in VEB Buchdruckerei Radeberg. The sales price per issue was a constant 25 pfennigs . In addition to the sales and advertising income, the magazine was subsidized with public money.
History of publication
The first issue was published in September 1955. Until the setting of the publication in December 1976, published by monthly periodicity total of 256 issues.
shape
The magazine was published in the format 14.8 × 21.0 cm ( DIN A5 ), had a single-ply paperback and wire stitched (staple stitching). The inside pages were printed on unbleached, wood-containing recycled paper similar to today's LWC paper with approx. 60 g / m², whereby the 2 middle sheets (event calendar) consisted of darker paper. The envelope was made of semi-matte coated paper of about 90 g / m². The front page was designed in monochrome alternating monthly with an image (graphics or photography) inserted in grayscale according to a uniform layout . After VEB Sachsenwerk Radeberg was renamed VEB RAFENA-Werke Radeberg as the central television manufacturer in the GDR in November 1956 , the previously rectangular cover picture was changed to the outline of the (slightly oval) television screens of the time. The back cover was printed without graphic design in accordance with the continuous contents of the magazine, also as an advertisement . The volume per booklet (without cover) was around 20 to 24 pages (5 to 6 sheets).
content

In addition to regular individual works on this topic, the middle section contained a comprehensive monthly event preview as a fixed component on 8 pages. This included:
- Cinema programs for Radeberg and Arnsdorf (permanent venues)
- Concert preview for Dresden

Regional issues
Current topics on social life in the city of Radeberg were an integral part. A large part of the work on regional history took up, from prehistoric and early historical topics to local, building, transport and industrial history, events, cultural life and education in the city, significant personalities , scientific topics to the more recent history of the City and its surroundings. The basic principle was a popular scientific, generally understandable style. The authors were representatives of all social classes, from recognized Radeberg scientists and historians (e.g. Felix Schwabe , Theodor Arldt , Erich Bär , Rudolf Limpach , Georg Banda, Hanns Franke, Manfred Drobny and many others) to hobby historians and authors of all interest groups. All authors worked on a voluntary basis and without pay.
Chronicle of the city of Radeberg
From 1967 onwards, the “Little Chronicle of an Old City” was published in 110 multi-page episodes on cover pages 3 and 4. The sole author was Rudolf Limpach, who was co-founder of the Radeberger Heimatmuseum in Schloss Klippenstein in 1953 and headed it from January 1954 to December 1990. Limpach has opened up a wide variety of sources with meticulous precision, edited them chronologically, compressed individual statements, added new own research and summarized everything in a new, complex complete work. It begins with the first mention of Radeberg in 1219. When the magazine was discontinued in December 1976, the publication of this chronicle, which until then had spanned the period up to 1772, also ended. The scientific value of this work also lies in the fact that Limpach has given the sources directly for the respective event, thus making further historical research and editing much easier.
In this 10-year work Limpach had worked through all known and accessible files and documents and based the available earlier chronicles.
Other essential sources were:
- Otto Mörtzsch : Small Chronicle of Radeberg
- Friedrich Bernhard Störzner : What the homeland tells
- Heinrich von Martius: Radeberg and its surroundings. A historical sketch . Bautzen 1828
Illustrations
In addition to partly historical photographs, works (mostly drawings) by the Radeberg painter's chronicler Karl Stanka with motifs from the old Radeberg are regularly included in the title layout . The inner part contained current and historical photographs and graphics. Among other things, replicas of historical originals by Gerhard Kosmalla were used as cover pictures and as article illustrations.
Periodic contributions
"The cannonball"
From July 1956 until the end of 1969, a full-page article in verse appeared under the pseudonym “Lunte”, which showed and critically viewed grievances and inadequacies in a humorous to satirical way. The author was until 1969 the Radeberg teacher and local researcher Georg Banda († April 17, 1969), who was also a member of the editorial committee.
"A look at the starry sky"
The then head of the Section for Astronomy of the local branch of the German Cultural Radeberg federal and head of the Public Observatory Radeberg, Erich Bear, published monthly territorial astronomical information about the fixed stars , the planets visibility and current astronomical events. In his honor and appreciation, the Radeberg public observatory bears the name "Erich Bär".
