Der Teutsche Merkur
Der teutsche Merkur (English: The German Mercury) was a literary magazine published and edited by Christoph Martin Wieland. The magazine was modeled on French magazine, Mercure de France.[1] The first issue appeared in 1773. He published and edited the magazine until 1790.[1] Wieland used the Merkur as an organ to advance the Enlightenment[2] and to provide a platform to support literary taste.[1] In 1790 the title was changed to Der neue teutsche Merkur and continued publication until 1810.
