Heinrich Klotz und die architectura – und was in 50 Jahren aus ihr wurde

Abstract

In 1971, Heinrich Klotz, who had returned from a stay as a visiting professor at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, founded architectura. Zeitschrift für Geschichte der Baukunst/Journal of the History of Architecture with the financial support of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Klotz experiments with different formats of essays but retires as editor in 1976. Under subsequent editors, architectura continues to develop into the leading journal for the history of architecture, whose essays are not subject to any temporal or local limitations and reflect the entire breadth of research in the history of architecture.
