His international orientation, particularly towards France, is also reflected in the founding and editing of two specialist magazines: the Eos magazine, founded in 1905 . Quarterly magazine for the knowledge and treatment of adolescent abnormalities , which could assert itself until 1920. And the professional journal Levana, founded in 1929 , international scientific contributions to the whole of curative education , which, however, did not exist beyond the first year. In the foreword to the first year, Krenberger describes their goals as follows:

“The quarterly publication 'Levana' [...] aims to promote scientific and practical work on the blind, deaf and dumb, idiots, feeble-minded people, the visually impaired, the hearing impaired, speech-impaired people, psychopaths and cripples. Doctors and teachers from all over the world of culture will have their say here, and eminent scholars and specialists will be employees. The contributions are intended to be a link between those of all nations who strive together. The history of each branch of curative education, articles from practice, scientific discussions of the problems, reviews are all parts of the new journal. "
