Deutschsprachige architekturzeitschriften in Ungarn

Abstract

Architectural periodicals have been studied in Europe from the 1960's. The german librarian Rolf Fuhlrott published in 1975 his doctoral thesis about architectural periodicals in german spoken countries. Most of the bibliographies about this subject (Stefan Waetzoldt for instance), do not quote the three main titles of Hungary, which were edited from 1872 to the beginning of the 19th century: - die Pest- Ofner Bauzeitung und Wohnungs-Anzeiger (1872-1873) which becomes Budapester Bauzeitung und Wohnungs-Anzeiger, Organ für Bau-und Wohnung-Interessen (1873-1875) - the following die Bauzeitung für Ungarn, Zeitschrift für Bauwesen (1876-1896) - and the last die Ungarische Bauzeitung (1896-1914) After having described the periodicals from a technical point of view, the content and the main themes of them will be exposed and compared. The question of the national identity that may defend those german periodicals, shall at least be asked.
