Originally founded in 1855 by Ernst Falkbeer, but was only published for nine months. In 1887 it enjoyed a rebirth, but even this publication lasted only nine months. In 1898 Hugo Fahndrich, Alexander Halprin and Georg Marco re-established the name again. As time went on Georg Marco became the sole editor and even the publisher. Marco edited the magazine until 1914 and during that period it became the best chess magazine in the world (Golombek:342). When it was renamed in 1923 it was called the \u003ci\u003eNeu Wiener Schach-Zeitung\u003c\/i\u003e and was edited by I R Wahle and A Lewitt; however, within a year it had recaptured its old title and in 1926 another great editor, Albert Becker, took over. With the German invasion of Austria, it ceased publication. An attempt to revive it after the end of World War II failed. The witty pen of Hans Kmoch gave distinction to the magazine and every now and then he would edit a \u003ci\u003efaschings\u003c\/i\u003e (carnival) number that was genuinely funny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHans Thonhofer was the editor of \u003ci\u003eOstereichische Schachrundschau\u003c\/i\u003e which had a short run, 1922-1925, until it was incorporated into the \u003ci\u003eWiener Schach-zeitung\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook plate of Hans Thanhofer to front paste down.
