Minerva (German magazine)

Minerva was a history and political magazine founded and edited by Johann Wilhelm von Archenholz.[1][2] Its full title was Minerva: Ein Journal historischen und politischen Inhalts.[1][3] The magazine was among the most significant history and political magazines published in the 1790s.[4]

The first two volumes were published in Berlin by J.T. Unger in 1792.[5] However, its headquarters was in Hamburg.[3] Minerva was widely read, including by such people as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller and Hegel.[6] Friedrich Klopstock was one of the contributors,[1] as was Ernst Raupach, who published "Laßt die Todten ruhen", one of the earliest vampire stories, in Minerva.[7] The magazine had a liberal stance. It ceased publication in 1858.[1]
