Germany is home to the earliest malacological journal—several short-lived serials authored and published by J. S. Schröter from 1770 to 1789 ... However, the first German malacological journal in a modern sense—with editors and contributions from multiple authors—was the Zeitschrift für Malakozoologie, founded in 1844 by Karl Theodor Menke (1791–1961) ... During its ten years, the journal published the descriptions of somewhere around 1,000 new species, of which at least half were described by Philippi alone.[3]
