zeitgeschichte is an Austrian academic journal devoted to the history of Austria in the 20th century. It was founded in 1973 by the historian Erika Weinzierl together with the publisher Hannes Geyer (Geyer Edition). The journal publishes contributions across political, economic, social, women's and gender, intellectual and cultural history. Its readership extends beyond professional historians to include adult educators and teachers. From its founding until 2017 the journal was published by Studienverlag. Beginning with the 2018 volume it has been published by Vienna University Press (V&R unipress). It appears six times a year and, alongside longer articles, carries reviews of current specialist literature. The editorial board draws on representatives of all Austrian university institutes and departments for contemporary history, located in Vienna, Innsbruck, Graz, Salzburg, Klagenfurt am Wörthersee and Linz. Since 2005 Oliver Rathkolb has led the journal as managing editor. The journal is indexed in the Zeitschriftendatenbank (ZDB-ID 2206239-7), and issues are digitised by the Austrian National Library through ANNO. Its current online presence is hosted on the V&R eLibrary platform.
