Lübeckische Blätter

The Lübeckische Blätter is a German cultural and civic magazine that has been published in Lübeck since 1835. It is the official bulletin of the Gesellschaft zur Beförderung gemeinnütziger Tätigkeit (Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities), a civic association founded in Lübeck in 1789. The magazine is also a general review for the city of Lübeck, focusing on urban development, social issues, and culture. It appears fortnightly, except in July and August, with an average length of 16 pages. The magazine is published and printed by Schmidt-Römhild, a publishing house based in Lübeck, since 1958. Its editor-in-chief has been Manfred Eickhölter since 2007. The Lübeckische Blätter is known for its monthly chronicle and detailed discussion section on theatre, music, and exhibitions. It has a long history, having been interrupted during World War II due to paper shortages and facing financial difficulties in the post-war years. The magazine celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2010. It remains a vital source of information for non-profit organizations in Lübeck, with approximately 1,900 members. The publication is available in print and has digital archives from 2003 onwards.

The Lübeckische Blätter was first published in 1835 as the successor to the 'Lübeckische Blatter', which had been published for the first time in 1827 but was discontinued after one year. Initially, it was called 'Neue Lübeckische Blatter'. The first publisher was Ludwig Heller. From 1835 to the revolutionary year of 1848, the magazine was considered a mouthpiece of the reform movement later known in Lübeck as Young Lübeck. Due to its critical and controversial content, contributions were initially published not under the author's name but under a code. In January 1859, the magazine was banned due to sharp criticism of the policies of the leaders of the city-state. However, as early as February 1859, it reappeared under the modified title 'Lübeckische Blatter' with the subtitle 'Sonntagsblatt der Lübecker Zeitung'. In 1896, the Gesellschaft zur Beförderung gemeinnütziger Tätigkeit, which had until then co-financed the magazine, took over as publisher. Until 1941, the magazine was generally published weekly, sometimes more frequently, and quarterly from January 1942 to March 1943; then publication had to be interrupted due to a paper shortage. Between 1945 and 1949, the editorial team lacked financial resources. Since 1958, the Lübeckische Blätter has been published and printed by the Schmidt-Römhild publishing house in Lübeck. It has been published fortnightly since autumn 1949, except in July and August, with an average length of 16 pages. In 2010, the magazine reached its 175th year. The Lübeckische Blätter is still the bulletin of non-profit organizations (about 1,900 members); it is also a review for Lübeck focusing on urban development, social issues, and culture. The monthly chronicle and the detailed discussion section on theatre, music, and exhibitions are important in terms of content. Manfred Eickhölter has been editor-in-chief of the magazine since 2007.
