The Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft, often known simply as Berichte, was one of the leading German-language academic journals in chemistry. It was founded in 1868, the year after the foundation of the Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft (German Chemical Society, now the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker) by Adolf von Baeyer,[1] and Baeyer also published the first article in the journal, on the reduction of indigo dyes.[2]
In 1919, the journal formally split into two parts: Abteilung A for news relating to the DChG (Vereins-Nachrichten); and Abteilung B for scientific papers (Abhandlungen). Although the two parts were issued with separate ISSNs and CODENs, they were still published together under a single cover: references to Part A are usually distinguished with an "A" before the page number.
Publication ceased in 1945 due to the disruption caused by World War II, which saw the offices of the Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft destroyed and the society disbanded. Successor societies were soon set up in the British and American sectors of occupied Germany,[1] and publication of the journal resumed in 1947 under a new name, Chemische Berichte. However, Chem. Ber. kept the same sequence of volume numbers as the older Berichte, starting its volume series at volume 80 (vols. 78 and 79, corresponding to 1945–46, were never published).
As of 1998, Berichte has been merged into the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry along with eight other journals from various European chemical societies.
