Revolution! Censorship! Prohibition! The Hallish Yearbooks

The "Hallische Jahrbücher für deutsche Wissenschaft und Kunst" were founded in 1838 by the writers Arnold Ruge and Ernst Theodor Echtermeyer and are regarded as the most important journalistic organ of the so-called Junghegelianer, a casually organised group of German intellectuals around former pupils and followers of the philosopher Friedrich Hegel. With their radically formulated criticism of religion and society, they soon found themselves on a confrontation course with the Prussian State and the Kingdom of Saxony. In order to escape the Prussian censorship, the "Yearbooks of Halle..." were published in German. Renamed "German Yearbooks..." in 1841. After the January 1843 edition had been confiscated by the Saxon police and the Federal Assembly of the German Confederation had forbidden the reissue of the Yearbooks for the entire territory of the German Confederation, the publication was stopped.

The years 1.1838 to 4.1841,156 (July) of the "Hallische Jahrbücher...", the years 4.1841 to 6.1843 of the "Deutsche Jahrbücher..." as well as the "Intelligenzblatt..." published at the same time were digitised.
