Der Fischer Weltalmanach was an almanac, a popular publication of the information issued in Frankfurt on Main, Germany, created at the end of each year since 1959 by a team of Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag. In September 2018, the 60th and last edition was published. Due to reduced demand, and the Internet having cheaper options, no further editions are produced. The idea that inspired the creators of the almanac was to find a new form of rapid transmission of information. Inspired by the U.S. The World Almanac and Book of Facts, Gottfried Bermann Fischer, publisher, and Gustav Fochler-Hauke, editor, developed a product that became a bestseller in the German market, reaching, in the first edition print run, about 100 thousand copies, although it is distributed in only 89 then-existing sovereign states. Each year had more pages - 385 pages (1960), 480 (1980), 704 (2000). And each year the price went up - DM 3.30 (1960), DM 9.80 (1980), DM 24.90 (2000), €29.95 (2009). More information...
