History and profile edit
Über Land und Meer was founded by Eduard Hallberger in Stuttgart in 1858.[4] Its publisher was Eduard Hallberger Verlag.[3] The founding editor was the successful and high-circulation German novelist Friedrich Wilhelm Hackländer.[2][5] It became a popular illustrated news magazine among the bourgeois middle classes.[6]
Über Land und Meer mostly published articles reflecting an inclusive patriotism and a view of German colonialism that was intended to be an apolitical scientific approach.[7] Such a journalistic attitude was also shared by other significant German media outlets of the period, including the Westermanns Monatshefte and Die Gartenlaube.[7] However, during the 1880s and 1890s Über Land und Meer also praised colonialism through racist cartoons and news about Germany's colonial activities.[7] The contributors included Berthold Auerbach, Theodor Fontane, Karl May and Paul Heyse.[8] Über Land und Meer ceased publication in 1923, largely due to the high inflation then prevailing in Germany.[2][4]
