LOTUSBLÜTEN (JOURNAL)



Lotusblüten “Blue Lotus” (1893-1900) and Neue Lotusblüten “New Blue Lotus” (1908-1913) were two theosophical magazines published by Franz Hartmann.





LOTUSBLÜTEN

It was a monthly journal containing articles and selected translations. The first edition appeared in March 1893 in Leipzig, the last in September 1900, thus there were altogether 96 editions. Franz Hartmann not only functioned as a publisher, but wrote also most of the published articles. The total number of pages of all editions during 1893 to 1900 was approx. 7300 pages, of this 6300 pages were written by Hartmann.

NEUE LOTUSBLÜTEN

It was now a bimonthly journal. The first edition appeared in June/July 1908 in Leipzig and Berlin, the last probably in November/December 1915. During the secured six years of existence of the magazine until 1913, the total number of pages was approximately 2400 pages. The edition of 1913, was published, because of Hartmann's death on 7 August 1912, by Paul Harald Grävell von Jostenoode (1856-1932). The new Lotusblüten did not reach the same level of quality as the first Lotusblüten.
