About Europäische Rundschau

Europäische Rundschau was a German-language Austrian quarterly journal that published for 47 years, releasing its final issue in June 2020. It was widely respected in Austria and internationally as a platform for political, economic, and historical debate focused on Central Europe.

Founded in 1973 by Paul Lendvai, who served as its long-time editorial lead, the journal featured contributions from prominent global thinkers including Timothy Garton Ash, Zbigniew Brzeziński, Tony Judt, and Václav Klaus. It played a role in introducing key political discussions to German-speaking audiences, such as the first German publication of Francis Fukuyama's "The End of History". The journal's full archive is planned to be digitized by the Austrian National Library to preserve its content on Austrian and Central European history for future access.
