The work was undertaken by the Academy’s Local History Working Group within the Institute for Geography

In 1994 it was given a new layout and, since 2001, has been continued as Landschaften in Deutschland - Werte der deutschen Heimat. Since Volume 62 the series has been jointly published by the IfL and the Saxon Academy of Sciences at Leipzig (SAW). Since 2001 it has been published by Böhlau Verlag (Cologne, Weimar, Vienna).
