Damals is a German monthly popular scientific history magazine. The magazine has been issued since 1969,[1] and aims primarily at students, teachers, university students, scientists and a readership interested in historical science. The German word damals means 'at that time'.
The editors, being established historians, archaeologists, cultural scientists and philologists, write scientifically-based articles. Each month another focus theme is portrayed. This concept distinguishes Damals from other German publications of the kind, for example G/Geschichte. The magazine also features brief book reviews, a historically-oriented television and radio programme, research news and articles on topics with a wide range of historical eras and themes. Moreover, it covers current exhibitions which are often featured in whole articles or even as theme of the month.[2]
The magazine, whose scientific advisory body includes[as of?] historians Christian Meier and Jürgen Osterhammel, is published by Konradin Medien GmbH of Leinfelden-Echterdingen.[as of?] Katja Kohlhammer, the publishing group's executive director, is the publisher.[as of?]
Abstracts of current issues, yearly tables of content and an articles archive can be viewed online. During the period of 2010-2013 Damals had a lower circulation level than other comparable history periodicals in Germany.[1] In the third quarter of 2015, Damals sold 23,104 copies.[3][needs update]
