The Zentralblatt für Chirurgie is the oldest German specialist journal for surgery .

history

The Zentralblatt für Chirurgie first appeared on April 4, 1874 by Breitkopf & Härtel , and later by Johann Ambrosius Barth Verlag . Both publishers were based in Leipzig , the capital of scientific publishing with one of the most prestigious chairs for surgery. The editors were Ladislaus von Lesser (Berlin), Max Schede (Halle) and Hermann Tillmanns (Leipzig). Many celebrities were among the authors, and many medical discoveries were published there. Due to the war, the publications had to be discontinued in 1944 with issue 39/40. After the Second World War, the Zentralblatt was the first surgical specialist journal to appear again in the four zones of occupation in Germany. On July 1, 1947, the Soviet military administration in Germany issued the license. The new editor-in-chief Erwin Gohrbandt (Berlin) wrote to accompany the first post-war issue 72 (1947):

“We are aware that a new phase of development is also beginning in our field. Surgery, too, has been pushed by the political and sad events of the war in a direction from which we have to find our way back to real democratic research and thus to even closer cooperation with the surgical science of all other civilized states. In the future, surgery should no longer serve war, but peace. "

- Erwin Gohrbandt

The traditional Zentralblatt was published in the Soviet occupation zone with 12 issues per year. From 1950 with 24 issues and from 1952 again with weekly editions, it was the most important (and cosmopolitan) publication organ of surgery in the German Democratic Republic . It was part of all hospital libraries in the Federal Republic of Germany. When Walter Schmitt took over the editor-in-chief with a new editorial board, the Zentralblatt was redesigned. The number of subscribers doubled from 1972 to 1985. In addition to authors from the GDR, many from the Federal Republic of Germany, German-speaking countries and other countries were also won over. As the private purchase of foreign specialist journals largely ceased to exist in the 1960s, the Zentralblatt, now also the organ of the Society for Surgery of the GDR, became the key specialist source of information for surgeons in the GDR with original papers, lectures, conference and congress reports from Germany and abroad Foreign countries.

In 2000, the Thieme publishing group took over the magazine as Zentralblatt für Chirurgie - magazine for general, visceral, thoracic and vascular surgery .
