A hundred years of the Deutsche Tierärztliche Wochenschrift.
Some reports of veterinary societies were issued in the second half of the 19th century in Germany. Dr. med LYDTIN in Karlsruhe (Baden) tried to unify two local reports to found a new journal with a widespread distribution. The first issue of the "Deutsche Thierärztliche Wochenschrift" was published on 7th January 1893 in Karlsruhe. To increase the area of distribution some years later a professor from the School of Veterinary Medicine Hannover was invited to work as an editor of this journal. After 1897 the DTW was issued in Hannover in close cooperation with the School of Veterinary Medicine. So the DTW is the oldest German veterinary journal which was issued continuously with an unchanged name since 100 years.
