Georg Steindorff , as editor, moved the location of the magazine to Leipzig, where he headed the Egyptological seminar at Leipzig University . He was the sole editor for almost 30 years, but was finally removed from the ZÄS editorial team in 1937 due to the Nuremberg Race Laws . In 1943 the publication of the magazine was stopped. In 1954 it was re-established by Fritz Hintze (1915–1993) and Siegfried Morenz . The editorial staff remained in Leipzig, but responsibility for the content went to the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in Berlin. After the fall of the Wall , responsibility was moved back to Leipzig, and since 1992, due to Erik Hornung's appointment to the editorial board, parts of it have also been transferred to Basel . This division of responsibility still exists today.
