The German literary newspaper, Also called Deutsche Literaturzeitung, was a review magazine founded by Max Roediger, which from the outset pursued the goal of documenting their scientific significance through the selection of the works discussed and their rank through critical evaluations of these works.
History: The magazine was founded in 1880 by Max Roediger (1850–1918) and published by August Wilhelm Fresenius (1850–1924) from 1886. It achieved international importance under the leadership of Paul Hinneberg (1862–1934), who ran it as his private company since 1892, but since 1923 as a joint venture of the scientific academies in Berlin, Göttingen, Heidelberg, Leipzig, Munich and Vienna under the direction of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences and published it at the Weidmannsche Buchhandlung publishing house in Berlin. In addition to overviews of personal details and academy publications, compilations and collective papers on individual subject areas were published. The German literary newspaper also had the decisive merit of providing a kind of organization for the sciences, which was soon copied abroad and, since 1947, by the Erasmus departmental organ. Speculum scientiarium. International Bulletin of contemporary Scholarship was adopted.
These meeting bodies set the line of the 18th century. Literary newspapers founded in the 19th century in Frankfurt, Jena, Halle and Göttingen, of which only the monthly Göttingen scholarly advertisements, each with a few but very detailed critical reviews, appeared and continue to exist to this day. The traditional and respected German literary newspaper, which was continued and published after the Second World War on behalf of the GDR Academy of Sciences, ceased publication in 1993 after 124 years.
The Weidmann bookstore was founded in Frankfurt am Main in 1680 by Moritz Georg Weidmann and moved to Leipzig in 1682. In 1854 the publishing house moved to Berlin with Karl August Reimer (1801–1858). The Weidmann Verlag still exists today with the Georg Olms Verlag (based in Hildesheim), specializing in scientific literature and facsimile editions.
A number of important publishing personalities and authors are associated with the company - including Ernst Moritz Arndt, Adelbert von Chamisso, Christian Fürchtegott Gellert, Johann Caspar Lavater, Johann Gottfried Herder, Alexander von Humboldt, Christoph Martin Wieland, Jean Paul, the brothers August Wilhelm and Friedrich Schlegel, the Brothers Grimm, Adolf Kaegi, Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, Heinrich Friedrich Karl Freiherr vom Stein and Theodor Mommsen.
From 1848 to 1851, the Weidmann bookstore published the leading liberal German newspaper.
genealogy
The company led:
Moritz Georg Weidmann (1658–1693)
Founded his publishing house in Frankfurt am Main in 1680, soon moved to Leipzig and ran the company there until his death in 1694. From the beginning, his publishing interest was in the sciences, especially classical philology. In the few years of his work - he died at the age of 36 - Weidmann had earned a high reputation, including at court, although he had to struggle with censorship through the publication of Christian Thomasius' monthly magazines.
Johann Ludwig Gleditsch (1694–1717)
This bookseller, who became famous beyond Germany's borders, played a decisive role in determining the successful path of the Weidmann bookstore. In 1694 he married the widow Weidmann and raised his stepson Moritz Georg Weidmann the Elder. J. as successor. Under Gleditsch's leadership alone, 826 new publications were published, an almost unbelievable number for the time.
Moritz Georg Weidmann (1713/1717–1743)
Under his aegis, an astonishingly large number of important works were published each year. The fact that Weidmann was rewarded with the Golden Necklace by the Emperor in Vienna in an audience and was made “Royal” by the Saxon Elector August the Strong. Polish and Electoral Saxon Court and Accisrat” shows the high level of recognition Weidmann has also achieved through his work for the book trade as a whole.
Johann Wendler (1743–1746)
He ran the bookstore until he was recognized as a citizen of Leipzig and then founded his own bookstore.
Philipp Erasmus Reich (1746–1787)
He ran the Weidmannsche Verlagsbuchhandlung from 1746 to 1787, which under his aegis became one of the largest German original publishers in the second half of the 18th century. century developed. This important Enlightenment publisher is also considered the great reformer of the German book trade. This is how Reich moved the book fair from Frankfurt to Leipzig. He was also the founder of the “Bookstore Company”, the precursor to the later founded Exchange Association of German Booksellers. In his day he was called the “pope” of the North and Central German book trade, and today he is still considered the “first bookseller in the nation,” as Christoph Martin Wieland put it.
Marie Louise Weidmann and her heirs Junius (1787–1822)
With Reich's death, the elderly Marie Louise Weidmann became sole owner of the company, which was now called “Weidmannsche Buchhandlung” again. The next 35 years are often described, although not entirely rightly, as a "quiet" period in the company's history: publishing activity was low only in the years when the Napoleonic Wars paralyzed all trade, but the number exceeded of new releases in some years both in the last decade of the 18th century. like in the first of the 19th century Thirty pieces in the 19th century. If you take into account the purchasing power of money at the time, you have to say that the Weidmann bookstore was still an extremely valuable possession even 35 years after Reich's death.
Georg Andreas Reimer (1822–1832)
Like Reich's, his work went far beyond his own bookselling ventures. Almost all prominent representatives of intellectual Germany became its authors: the brothers August Wilhelm and Friedrich Schlegel, Ludwig Tieck, Novalis, Heinrich von Kleist, Ernst Moritz Arndt, Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, the Brothers Grimm, Jean Paul, Wilhelm von Humboldt and others in 1816 Georg Andreas Reimer acquired what later became the Reich President's Palace on Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin; He lived there with his family and ran the publishing house with his employees. The rooms also served to present his collection of over two thousand paintings by great masters, including Altdorfer, Brueghel, Correggio, Cranach, Dürer, Van Dijk, CD Friedrich, Hals, Holbein the Elder. J., Murillo, Rembrandt, Rubens, Tiepolo, Titian and Watteaux.
Karl August Reimer (1830–1858) and Salomon Hirzel (1830–1852/1858)
As early as 1830, Georg Andreas Reimer entrusted the Weidmann publishing bookstore to his son Karl August and his son-in-law Salomon Hirzel, which they ran in harmonious collaboration for two decades. They were among the co-founders of the “Göttinger Verein”, which supported the Göttingen Seven – the Georgia Augusta professors who were driven out of office. Their cozy house became a meeting place for well-known authors, including Hermann Sauppe, Moriz Haupt, Otto Jahn, Adelbert von Chamisso, Gustav Schwab and Karl August Reimer's son-in-law, Theodor Mommsen. In 1854, Karl August Reimer moved the Weidmann bookstore to Berlin.
Hans Reimer d. Ä. (1865–1887)
He was the scientific bookseller par excellence, and a good part of the fame of the Weidmann publishing bookstore goes back to this outstanding publisher. He expanded the company through the successful school book publishing and founded scientific journals (such as the journal for classical philology Hermes, the journal for numismatics, the archive for Slavic philology) and serial works such as the Philological Investigations, edited by Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, who was Mommsen's son-in-law had joined Reimer's circle of relatives.
Paul Parey and Ernst Vollert (1888–1928)
In 1888 Paul Parey took over (just on 1. elected head of the Börsenverein) and Ernst Vollert took over the management of the Weidmann publishing bookstore and continued the tried and tested scientific direction, for example with the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, with the takeover of the Göttingen Scholars Advertisements and the Regesta Pontificum Romanorum. The Prussian Academy of Sciences entrusted Weidmann with the publishing responsibility for the Codex Theodosianus, the German Texts of the Middle Ages and Christoph Martin Wieland Collected Writings. Vollert was honored with the silver Leibniz Medal by the Prussian Academy of Sciences in 1922.
Hans Reimer the Younger (1913–1951)
With him the era of the fourth generation of Reimers began. During his time, many scholars also entrusted their works to the Weidmann publishing bookstore (Carl Robert, Hermann Diels, Friedrich Leo, Gustav Roethe, Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, among others). But Reimer also promoted other areas such as: B. Sports science and radio technology.
Tom Hans Robert Reimer (1936–1983)
Hans Reimer d. J. left Weidmann to his son as sole owner. With great tenacity, the representative of the fifth generation, Reimer, gradually rebuilt the publishing house after the Second World War. A try THR Reimer's attempt to move the publishing house back to Berlin after the departure of his managing director W. Joachim Freiburg failed. He moved the company's headquarters to Ireland with a branch in Zurich. After his tragic death in his property on Mallorca, from where he had temporarily managed the publishing business, the widow Ilse Alix Reimer was able to entrust the publishing bookstore to the publisher W. Georg Olms as the sole heir.
Walter Georg Olms (1983–)
W. Georg Olms took over the management of Weidmann's publishing business in 1983. He brought the publishing house back to Germany from Switzerland and Ireland, where it had been based for more than two decades. The traditional company is now developing new publishing activities from Hildesheim. The most important editions include the works of the Brothers Grimm and Pierre de Coubertin's text Choisis as well as the series Collectanea Grammatica Latina, Nikephoros - magazine for sport and culture in antiquity and Spolia Berolinensia - contributions to the intellectual and cultural history of the Middle Ages and modern times.
