Overview

Stahl und Eisen (stylized as "stahl und eisen") is a German-language monthly technical journal covering the production and processing of iron and steel, as well as the companies and markets involved in the sector. First published in 1881, it is one of the oldest continuously published trade journals in the metallurgical field. The journal was originally the organ of the Stahlinstitut VDEh (formerly the Verein Deutscher Eisenhüttenleute) and was published by the association's own publishing house, Verlag Stahleisen, in Düsseldorf.

The journal provides technical articles on current developments in the national and international steel and iron industry, covering topics from companies, markets, and economics in German or English. It also presents innovations, achievements, and technical processes in metallurgy. Its target audience includes decision-makers in top and middle management of steel-producing and steel-forming industries, as well as the plant, machinery, and industrial furnace construction sectors that serve them. The journal has been supplemented by an ePaper version and social media channels (Facebook, Xing, and Twitter). Sister titles include Stahlmarkt and MPT International.
