Die Zeitschrift für Bauwesen (abbreviation: ZfBw ) was a specialist journal for construction and architecture that appeared in German . It appeared for the first time in 1851, from 1924 to 1927 divided into a building and civil engineering part. In 1931 the journal for construction was merged with the central newspaper of the building administration . Both magazines were published by Wilhelm Ernst & Sohn in Berlin, which had the leading specialist magazines for civil engineers at the time with these two titles. The Bauwesen magazine had a circulation of 13,000 at the end of the 19th century, and the Zentralblatt der Bauverwaltung had a circulation of 5,000.
The contents of the journal for construction included , among other things, official notices and ideas for new buildings in structural engineering and civil engineering. The focus of the presented buildings was on traffic structures and public buildings. The magazine appeared with varying frequency, but at least quarterly. Most volumes have twelve booklets, and in addition to the table of contents, there was also an atlas with copperplate engravings and color tables , which summarized elaborate illustrations for the articles, which were primarily created by Otto Ebel for many years .

Karl Hinckeldeyn , Oskar Hossfeld and Johann Wilhelm Schwedler were among the long-time editors.
statistics
After the founding of the empire in 1871, it seemed possible for the first time to collect and publish uniform, state-wide statistics on public construction. The umbrella organization, Association of German Architects and Engineers' Associations (VDAI), founded in 1871, demanded the introduction of such statistics from 1876 onwards. The municipal building administration of Berlin carried out the first attempts, the results of which were published in the weekly newspaper for architects and engineers ( ZDB -ID 161379-0 ) by the city planning officer Hermann Blankenstein in 1879 and 1880 . On behalf of the VDAI, the railway civil engineer Wilhelm Housselle then published a memorandum on construction statistics in 1881 . On February 10, 1881, the Minister of Public Works Albert von Maybach issued a circular , with which all royal governments and Landdrosteien were instructed to report to the ministry annual statistical information on the structural and hydraulic works completed in their area in the past year. Only new buildings with a construction cost of 10,000 marks or more should be recorded. In addition to the mandatory annual report from 1881, the buildings since the founding of the empire should also be recorded and reported in order to obtain better time series. Immediately after the founding of the empire, the French reparations payments triggered a boom , which was ended by the founding crisis in 1873 , but had spawned an unmanageable number of building projects.
The results of the statistics were published from 1884 as supplements to the journal for construction . The publication happened in 14 main groups:
- I. Churches , mostly divided into nave churches or churches with several naves or with cross vaults
- II. Parsonage, with the different space requirements due to celibacy , divided into Protestant and Catholic parsonages
- III. Elementary schools and service housing for teachers
- IV. Gymnasiums, Realschulen and other school buildings for secondary education, as well as service housing for teachers
- V. Seminars for teacher training
- VI. gym
- VII. University buildings
- VIII. Scientific and artistic institutes, collections, museums
- IX. Technical schools and colleges
- X. Hospitals and Hospitals
- XI. Ministerial and Government Buildings
- XII. Courthouse without prisons
- XIII. Prisons and penal institutions
- XIV. Tax Office Building
- XV. Residential building for foresters
- XVI. Domain buildings , in particular residential buildings for tenants, farm buildings and stables
- XVII. Stud buildings
- XVIII. Buildings from the hydraulic engineering department, such as lighthouses and civil servants' buildings
The statistics for each of these main groups were published in one or more tables. In the main table there was one line for each structure, with the name and purpose of the structure, place and administrative district of the location, year of construction start and completion as well as the costs. In addition, there were the most important dimensions, brief information on the building materials used and usage indicators such as the number of school places, which made it possible to calculate related costs. Typical indicators such as costs per square meter of built-up area or costs per cubic meter of built-up space were given directly in the table. These costs do not include property costs. For many buildings, the main table has a floor plan on a scale of 1: 1000. Similar buildings (type buildings) were listed one below the other in order to avoid repetition of the floor plan. In addition to the main table u. a. statistics of construction activity for administrative districts and a comparison of related costs are shown.
The statistics were collected up to 1918 and, after processing, were published for the last time in 1920. In the period from 1871 to 1918, it thus covers all major state buildings in structural engineering and hydraulic engineering in the German Empire.
