Swabia. Monthly booklets for folklore and culture

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Swabia. Monthly magazines for folk history and culture is the name of a local and folklore journal that was published by Verlag W. Kohlhammer, Stuttgart , from 1939 to 1943 , which - as is clear from the year or volume count continued with 11 - is a continuation of the Württemberg. Monthly in the service of people and homeland , vol. 1 (1929) to vol. 9 (1937), or Württemberg. Swabian monthly books in the service of people and homeland , vol. 10 (1938), a periodical published under editor August Lämmle understood.

Already in the first issue of the 1939 volume it was explicitly pointed out that those responsible were also concerned with “reshaping our view of history”. From volume 7/1939 onwards, a “political review” should regularly introduce the category of small contributions , since it At a time when “ politics is undisputedly the primacy of politics ”, the task of a cultural magazine is also to “continuously inform its readers about the deeper issues of political events”. At the outbreak of the Second World War, which was “forced” on Germany, there was, as it was said, a “further, great task” for the magazine, namely “to participate in the struggle of the internal front ”.

As early as 1939, the claim to be a monthly issue was no longer fulfilled, even if it should be true that the April / May issue was only a double issue because of the 50th birthday of Adolf Hitler . Due to the war, the magazine (regardless of the ideologically harmless articles), which was committed to the blood-and-soil ideology and National Socialism , ceased publication with a no longer numbered spring issue in 1943.

Some of the well-known "Swabian" Nazi writers, including Gerhard Schumann , those in Swabia. Monthly magazines for Volkstum und Kultur had been able to publish and found a platform in the newly founded Schwäbische Heimat in 1950 - incomprehensible, as the publisher of this magazine, the Schwäbischer Heimatbund , now self-critically admits.
