History
As a precursor of the historical journal as general historical scientific body, the historical- political magazine Leopold von Ranke 1833 to 1836 and especially the 1844 to 1848, edited by Wilhelm Adolf Schmidt Journal of History apply.
The Historical magazine was founded in 1859 by Heinrich von Sybel. In the early phase until the end of the First World War she was an organ with predominantly Protestant denominational orientation in the Prussian sense, which represented the Prussian leadership of the German Empire. Hence Catholic writers were rarely represented. In the time it is called culture war, came not rare attacks on the Catholic view of history, especially in the context of Martin Luther and Protestantism. Conversely, the Catholic journalism magazines published political and historical content with clearly anti-Prussian tendency, the historical- political music for Catholic Germany and the Historical Yearbook. Today denominational point of view has become meaningless.
Among the authors of the Historical magazine listed a number of famous scholars, such as Heinrich von Treitschke, Heinrich von Sybel himself, Hermann Baumgarten, Friedrich Meinecke, Wilhelm Maurenbrecher, Georg Voigt, Alfred Heuss and Johann Gustav Droysen.
