This paper analyses three centuries of developing German-language philosophy journals, from the first journals published in 1665 to those from the first decade of post-WWII recovery. Relying upon two bibliographies of philosophical journals collected in the 1970s, one by Joachim Kirchner and one by Wolfram Hogrebe, Rudolf Kamp, and Gert König, we attained a dataset of 607 journals.To analyse the population of periodicals, we identified three key components: the longevity of each journal and the growth rate and the continuity of the body of the journal population. The most puzzling finding is that there was a rapid growth in the number of journals at the end of the eighteenth century followed by a long decline in numbers that lasted almost a century. This paper analyses the structure of the boom in philosophical periodicals after 1888, followed by the effects of both World Wars, and identifies the communication crisis that occurred at the height of the Weimar Republic.

本文分析了三个世纪以来发展中的德语哲学期刊，从1665年出版的第一本期刊到第二次世界大战后恢复的前十年。依托于1970年代收集的两本哲学期刊书目，其中一本由约阿希姆·基希纳（Joachim Kirchner），一本由Wolfram Hogrebe，鲁道夫·坎普（Rudolf Kamp）和格特·柯尼希（GertKönig）收集，我们获得了607种期刊的数据集。每个期刊的寿命以及期刊人口的增长率和连续性。最令人困惑的发现是，在18世纪末，期刊数量迅速增长，随后持续了近一个世纪的数量出现了长期下降。本文分析了1888年以后哲学期刊繁荣的结构，
