The first edition of the DDR-Meyer doesn't fit into the sequence of the nine editions of Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, and the bibliographic notes are not in line with the specification given above. What are "cards"? Besides, an important work such as the DDR-Meyer deserves an article for its own! --Paul Drew 12:13, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Dear friend,
Sorry I only read your contribution just now.
The answer is: officially yes. I guess you're from Germany, so I don't have to translate the next piece of history, taken from the catalogue of the BI (Mannheim, yes indeed!) in 1972: "1946 wird die Firma in Leipzig widerrechtlich enteignet. 1953 verlegt die Aktiengesellschaft ihren Sitz nach Mannheim, die Stadt Leipzig klagt dagegen, der Prozess zieht sich über Jahre hin, die Klage wird schliesslich vom Landgericht Mannheim und – in zweiter Instanz – vom Oberlandesgericht in Karlsruhe abgewiesen. Zu guter Letzt stellt 1960 ein rechtskräftiges Urteil des Landgerichts Stuttgart fest, dass einzig und allein das Bibliographische Institut in Mannheim berechtigt ist, diesen Firmennamen zu führen und über die bis 1945 erworbenen Urheberrechte zu verfügen. Dazu gehören die Titel "Duden", "Meyer" und "Schlag nach". "
However, that was not my point. I only handled the bibliographical argument, i.e. the VEB BI –Meyers (so to speak) are not a 9th and a 10th edition, according to the title pages of both editions. Paul Drew 14:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
"1953 verlegt die Aktiengesellschaft ihren Sitz nach Mannheim, die Stadt Leipzig klagt dagegen."
Where did they lodge their complaint?
In the bibliographies I know, the sequence of editions is leading, not the year of publication, e.g. Bibliotheca Lexicorum (Vienna, 2001). Paul Drew 17:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
