Introduction

The annual "Das Gottes­jahr" [= "The year of God"] - founded by Pastor Walther Kalbe in 1921 and since published 1923 by the pub­lishing house "Greifen­verlag" - was edited from 1924 to 1939 by Wilhelm Stählin. Since 1929 "The year of God" was published by the pub­lishing house "Bärenreiter-Verlag" in the City of Kassel as the annual of the Berneuchener Konferenz [= Con­ference of Berneuchen]. Each annual had its own topic treated in several essays. "The year of God" was ex­panded by the "Jahresbriefe des Ber­neuchener Krei­ses" [= the yearly News­letters of the circle of friends of Ber­neuchen]. Both papers must cease their publi­cation in 1940. Since 1948 the "Evangelischen Jahresbriefe" [= "Evangelical annual Newsletters] are published as their suc­cessors, since 1952 under the title "Quatember" four times a year by the "Ber­neuchener Gemein­schaften [= com­muni­ties of Berneuchen].
