title: [Veterinary periodicals 100 years ago--a contribution to the history of the founding of the Deutsche Tierarztliche Wochenschrift].
abstract: The role and the meaning of the periodic literature hundred years ago is regarded on the occasion of the jubilee of the "Deutsche tierärztliche Wochenschrift" (1893-1993). A century ago a great restructuring of the veterinarian specialist publications began for the first time due to different scientific and political circumstances. The main attention is directed to two aspects: In the first place the question which periodicals were published in the time of the foundation of the German Empire (1871) until the publication of the DTW (1893). Secondly the question why there was edited one paper after the other and especially why the DTW was founded only five years after the "Berliner tierärztliche Wochenschrift". A brief summary of the prehistory of the DTW concludes the essay.
