From 2025 onwards, the International Heritage-Centre takes over the editorship of the renowned and long-established journal FORUM STADT. Founded in 1973, the journal was first known as ‘Die Alte Stadt’. Since 2010, with the new titel FORUM STADT, the journal is published on a quarterly basis and supported by “Netzwerk Historischer Städte e.V.”, an association of currently around 80 cities chaired by the Mayor of Esslingen, Matthias Klopfer.
Following the resignation of the previous editor-in-chief Hans Schultheiß, who successfully oversaw the magazine for forty years, the magazine is now also being transferred to Bauhaus-Universitätsverlag of the arts + science weimar publishing group - order here .
In addition to themed issues, the journal offers the opportunity to publish free contributions in the field of urban research as well as reviews and shorter forum contributions. All relevant researchers, especially younger academics, are encouraged to submit contributions or suggestions for themed issues.
The articles submitted will first be checked by the editorial team for their suitability and then reviewed by the editors. The authors may be given a revision period of approx. 4 weeks.
