WEIDWERK

WEIDWERK The WEIDWERK, Austria's largest hunting magazine and one of the top 5 in the German-speaking world, has been inspiring since 1928. With regular modernizations, it offers up-to-date information and entertainment. A young team provides a breath of fresh air and exciting content for its readers. WEIDWERK Editorial Team Ing.

It was the industrialist Dr. Fritz Habig who published this magazine, which was aimed at "all friends of homeland, hunting and nature" and already featured elaborate color prints in the first issues. Dr. Habig also managed to attract prominent authors to work for the newspaper, including Friedrich von Gagern, Dr. Karl Ausserer, A. O. Univ.-Prof. Ing. Karl Leeder, Prof. Dr. Günther Schlesinger, Colonel Oswald Irlweck, Konstantin Thun-Hohenstein, Prof. Dr. Eduard Paul Tratz, "Hegendorf" (Ludwig Merey by Kosmopere), Dr. Ing. Josef Singer, Ing. Franz Wojtech, Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Hoffer, Rudolf Abensperg and Traun ... This was certainly one of the reasons why more and more hunters switched to this hunting magazine. In the turmoil of the 2nd World War, the production of "Österreichs Weidwerk" was discontinued (1938), but it started again at the very beginning of 1946, when the occupying powers allowed the printing of hunting newspapers. Today, more than nine decades later, the WEIDWERK monthly brings in a modern presentation everything worth knowing about wildlife biology, hunting science, hunting practice, hunting weapons and optics, hunting dogs, hunting abroad, fish grazing, etc., plus interesting reports, breathtaking photo stories and all sorts of entertaining. Europe's best photographers ensure high-quality photographic material. This mixture has made the WEIDWERK well known far beyond the borders of Austria. The WEIDWERK is published with an average circulation of 46,500 pieces twelve times a year at the beginning of each month and offers the hunter everything they need to know to be up to date. Every month, it is a highly exciting task for the editorial staff to satisfy those readers who traditionally receive a full hunter's life for their grazing work by subscription, and those who consider hunting from today's ecological point of view equally. https://weidwerk.at/ #Austria #magazine #WEIDWERK #hunting #dogs #equipment #wildlife
