About Neue Landschaft

Neue Landschaft

Neue Landschaft is the oldest German-language trade journal for entrepreneurs in garden, landscape, playground, and sports-field construction — the "Fachzeitschrift für Garten-, Landschafts-, Spiel- und Sportplatzbau" published monthly by the Patzer Verlag in Berlin-Hanover. With the ISSN 0548-2836 and its first issue in 1956, the journal has served the green industry for nearly 70 years: it addresses entrepreneurs, decision-makers, specialists, and trainees in the private and public sectors of garden and landscape construction. Under publisher Ulrich Patzer, the journal reports on the industry's events, professional information, technology and research, and product presentations in the "green industry" — with the engineering topics and the business-management contributions by specialist authors forming the core. The print edition is supplemented by the Pro Baum supplement (the specialist journal for planting, care, and preservation) and by the online edition at neuelandschaft.de (article archive since January 1, 2000). Distributed in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and 18 other countries, the journal appears monthly at mid-month (on the 15th). In the German green-industry press, Neue Landschaft is the institution: the monthly of the garden and landscape builders — the oldest German-language trade journal of the green industry, from the Patzer Verlag in Berlin-Hanover.

Overview

The journal presents itself as the monthly specialist journal for the green industry — the medium that has been a fixed part of the industry for over 50 years. Its editorial program covers the garden and landscape construction's full spectrum: the industry events — the association news, the trade fairs, the events; the professional information — the training, the careers, the "Junge Landschaft" (young landscape) special section with the practical knowledge; the technology and research — the engineering topics, the new developments; and the product presentations — the machines, the materials, the plants.

The readership is the green industry's entrepreneurs and decision-makers: the garden and landscape construction companies, the public green-space administrations, the landscape architects, and the trainees — in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and 18 other countries. The journal's authority rests on its 70-year continuity and the Patzer Verlag's green program: the Berlin-Hanover specialist publisher (founded 1931 by Bernhard Patzer) with the Allgemeine Bauzeitung, Stadt und Grün, Garten- und Freizeitmarkt, Handels Magazin, Pro Baum, and Landschaftsarchitekten — the monthly total circulation of around 230,000 copies (2010) — the publishing house that the green industry trusts, for nearly a century.

The monthly rhythm — appearing on the 15th of each month — provides the industry's regular briefing: the events, the technology, the business management, and the practical knowledge that the entrepreneurs need for their companies. The Pro Baum supplement (2004–2025, the specialist journal for planting, care, and preservation, also a supplement of Stadt und Grün) extends the program into the tree care. The neuelandschaft.de online edition — with the article archive since 2000 — delivers the digital channel.

History

Neue Landschaft's history begins in 1956: the journal first appeared in the Patzer Verlag as the specialist journal for the garden and landscape construction entrepreneurs — the green industry's own monthly, from the very beginning — for nearly 70 years, since 1956, and still the industry's monthly on the 15th of every month, without interruption, from Berlin-Hanover to the green industry, every month. The Patzer Verlag — founded in 1931 by Bernhard Patzer, with the Handels-Magazin as the founding title — built its green program around the journal: Stadt und Grün (1952), the Allgemeine Bauzeitung (1956), Neue Landschaft (1956), and Garten und Freizeitmarkt (1962) as the continuing titles.

The journal's editorial history includes the publisher Ulrich Patzer (Herausgeber) — the Patzer family's publishing leadership — and the Berlin-Hanover editorial offices (Koenigsallee 65, 14193 Berlin; 030/8959030), in the Grunewald district. The journal's program — the engineering topics and the business-management contributions by specialist authors, the "Junge Landschaft" practical knowledge — has served the industry's entrepreneurs since 1956.

The journal's recent history reflects the green industry's developments: the climate adaptation (the urban green, the sponge city), the biodiversity, the skilled-worker shortage, the digitalization — each covered with the specialist authors' engineering and business contributions, from the 15th of every month. The supplements — Pro Baum (2004, the tree journal), IT-Info (2003–2021, KS21), Exkurs (2016) — extended the program. The online edition (since 2000) added the digital channel: the article archive and the current articles on neuelandschaft.de.

Coverage and Content

The journal's coverage follows the landscape builder's world. Industry events form the core: the association news — the BGL, the regional associations; the trade fairs — GaLaBau Nuremberg, demopark; and the events — the conferences, the competitions. Professional information addresses the careers: the training, the "Junge Landschaft" special section (the practical knowledge for the trainees and young professionals), and the job market.

Technology and research provide the technical dimension: the engineering topics — the construction techniques, the materials, the machines; the research — the new findings; and the product presentations — the "green industry's" novelties. Business management covers the entrepreneurs' concerns: the specialist authors' contributions on the company management, the law, the taxes — the core that the journal promises. Pro Baum extends the program into the tree care: the planting, the care, and the preservation.

Organization and Ownership

Neue Landschaft is published by the Patzer Verlag GmbH & Co. KG in Berlin-Hanover (Koenigsallee 65, 14193 Berlin; 030/8959030) — the specialist publisher founded in 1931 by Bernhard Patzer. The publisher (Herausgeber): Ulrich Patzer. The publishing house's program: Allgemeine Bauzeitung, Neue Landschaft, Stadt und Grün, Garten- und Freizeitmarkt, Handels Magazin, Pro Baum, Landschaftsarchitekten — the monthly total circulation of around 230,000 copies. The journal's ISSN 0548-2836 and its ZDB listings (130097-0, 527968-9) document its established position.

The commercial model is that of a B2B trade journal: subscriptions to the garden and landscape construction companies, the public administrations, and the landscape architects; advertising from the machine, material, and plant industries — and the online advertising on neuelandschaft.de.

Digital Presence

The journal's digital home is neuelandschaft.de, where the monthly print journal's program extends into the online green-industry information. The portal offers the current articles, the article archive (since January 1, 2000), and the online edition — the digital channel alongside the print monthly. The EZB (Electronic Journals Library) lists the journal: the full-text online and print editions, subscription-based with authentication.

The green industry's networks — the BGL (Bundesverband Garten-, Landschafts- und Sportplatzbau), the regional associations, the GaLaBau fair, the research institutions — form the ecosystem in which the journal's content circulates: the monthly information flow between the green industry's actors that the Patzer journal organizes, month after month, for nearly 70 years. For nearly 70 years — from the 1956 first issue to the present — Neue Landschaft has been the green industry's journal: the monthly of the garden, landscape, playground, and sports-field builders, in print and online.

The Journal's Industry Role

The journal's role in the green industry goes beyond the monthly issues: Neue Landschaft is the entrepreneurs' professional companion — the monthly that the garden and landscape builders read for the industry news, the engineers consult for the technical topics, and the trainees use for the "Junge Landschaft" practical knowledge. The Patzer Verlag's green program — the Allgemeine Bauzeitung, Stadt und Grün, Pro Baum, Landschaftsarchitekten — makes the publishing house the green industry's media house: the Berlin-Hanover publisher that has served the construction and green sectors since 1931. The neuelandschaft.de article archive — since January 1, 2000 — is the industry's reference: the 25-year digital record of the garden and landscape construction — the industry's memory in the online archive.
