Aims & Scope

Merkur is one of the most important and respected cultural journals in the German-speaking world. Founded in 1947 as a monthly magazine, it has been published for over seventy years. The simple concept behind this unusual longevity: Merkur does not represent a worldview, political or aesthetic agenda. It assumes that its readers want to form their own judgments. Therefore, it relies not on preconceived opinions, but on curiosity, expertise, a spirit of contradiction, and uncompromising quality awareness.
