    History

    [edit]

    The journal was first published in 1947 under the German title "Erdkunde Archiv für Wissenschaftliche Geographie". As Carl Troll wrote in 1964 in a retrospective,[2] the foundation of a new journal for geography resulted rather unintentionally out of the uncertain situation of the first post-war years. The main idea was to continue Petermanns Geographische Mitteilungen as well as the "Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin" as the two oldest and internationally most respected geographical journals. Since the continuation of the "Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin" in Berlin was initially very uncertain, Carl Troll initiated the plan to continue the journal or a successor journal from Bonn. Even before the first issue was published, however, the Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin expressed reservations about relocating the editorship. Subsequently, the relaunch of "Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin" was pursued from Berlin and the publication was finally resumed in 1949 under the title "DIE ERDE, Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin". However, since preparations for the new journal were already well advanced in Bonn, the plan was pursued and the first issue of the journal "Erdkunde Archiv für Wissenschaftliche Geographie" was published in 1947.[3] The title of the journal emerged from the original plan to continue the "Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin". The abbreviated form "Erdkunde" resulted from the fact that the licensing regulations initially did not permit designations such as "Zeitschrift", "Gesellschaft" and "Berlin". When it became clear that a continuation of the "Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin" was intended, the subtitle "Archiv für Wissenschaftliche Geographie" was added for the purpose of clear identification. In the following years, the newly founded journal underwent a quite changeful development, as was well documented in a review of its 50-year history by Hans Böhm and Eckart Ehlers.[4] His successors also felt committed to the claim already pursued by Carl Troll to develop the journal from a voice of German geography to an organ of international geography. In line with this, it was finally decided in 2007 to publish the papers in English, thus opening the journal more clearly to an international reader- and authorship. Since 2008, the journal has been published under the English title "Erdkunde – Archive for Scientific Geography". In 2010/2011, the archive of Erdkunde has been digitized and all content is now accessible for free. In addition, a cooperation with JSTOR exists since 2011, and the articles are also accessible via this platform. At the beginning of 2021, the copyrights and licensing regulations were adjusted and all content is now published under the creative commons BY license.[5]
